We do a little White Boy Summer, it’s called “We do a little White Boy Summer”

men don't understand just how expensive this is

yall gon jump me if I said this is the best Jackson 5 song ever?

She really served her best adlibs on this song while having beef with the fan 💀 Hello - I Am... World Tour (Buenos Aires, 2009)

Counting calories is a life time job.

Was Korra always meant to break the cycle or just unlucky?

Very few health levers keep reducing risk the more you do them. Low-intensity, low-impact movement spread throughout the day is one of them. Simple prescription: Walk more & walk often.

The power of GLYCINE is seemingly never-ending. Let's get into the science, the incredible benefits & how to use it yourself: Glycine increases lifespan & promotes longevity in study (PMID: 30916479). ☆ Anti-inflammatory ☆ Controls gene expression ☆ Clears homocysteine (toxic) ☆ Supports glutathione production (antioxidant) ☆ Precursor to creatine (muscle + brain fuel) ☆ Collagen synthesis ☆ Promotes autophagy It counteracts the pro-aging effects of excess methionine, a major component of muscle meat. The combination of glycine + NAC is especially powerful for longevity as well. Combining them increases lifespan by ~25% in animal studies. They synergize to create the master antioxidant glutathione. ✓ Reduces organ damage ✓ Preserves mitochondrial function even at low amounts. Glycine + NAC is an anti-aging, metabolic elixir. ➜ Reduces oxidative stress ➜ Improves mitochondrial function ➜ Improves cognitive function ➜ Reverses insulin resistance Nearly every metric of aging and disease imaginable in a recent clinical trial. Glycine + NAC reverses aging, even in small amounts. Decline in energy production & increased oxidative stress are two of the hallmarks of aging, but this combination: ◇ Restores glutathione ◇ Improves mitochondrial fat oxidation ◇ Reduces body fat ◇ Reduces liver fat ◇ Lowers blood sugar ◇ Lowers insulin @ roughly half a gram of each daily (human equivalent) in other experiments. Part of the reason glycine has so many benefits because it is a universal anti-inflammatory. Suppresses the master regulator of inflammation - a gene regulator called NF-κB. This is upregulated in, I kid you not, every condition of aging + disease imaginable. Glycine also helps heal the gut. Endotoxin (LPS) is probably the primary cause behind most gut issues - leaky gut, bloating, pain, poor bowel habits, etc. Glycine reverses the damage that it does, lowering key inflammatory mediators in experiments including: ➜ TLR4 ➜ IL-6 ➜ IL-1β ➜ MYD88 ➜ TNFα See this all the time with our clients - it's often helpful for digestion and things like acid reflux. Glycine has been shown to prevent leaky gut. Glycine upregulates the tight junction proteins via activation of mTORC-1. By nourishing glutathione synthesis, it also supports the antioxidant system and prevents endoplasmic reticulum stress. This process is present in all digestive disorders. Glycine reverses liver damage, even from alcohol, in animal experiments. Alcohol drives liver fat buildup and damage, and can even contribute to scarring, but glycine: ⇨ Accelerates recovery of liver structure ⇨ Sheds liver fat since it acts as a calming agent for the liver's resident immune cells. Glycine can also protect your eyesight. Two of the primary mediators of long term damage to vision are: ⇨ Oxidative stress ⇨ Glycation (from high blood sugar) Glycine actually directly prevents both of these processes, saving the Müller cells which are vital for clear vision in studies. Glycine is a powerful sleep enhancer. 3g of glycine before bed: ⬩Increases subjective sleep quality ⬩Decreases time to fall asleep ⬩Increases cognitive performance the next day ⬩Makes falling asleep easier ⬩Lessened daytime sleepiness in part due to glycine's ability to help regulate the circadian rhythm in the brain. Because of this, glycine prevents tiredness & improves mental performance. 3 grams before a night of poor sleep. ➔ Inhibitory neurotransmitter ➔ Regulates circadian rhythm ➔ Lowers nighttime body temperature ➔ Increases blood flow One of the best supplements for sleep & cognition. If you can't stay asleep (or wake up to pee), you need to try glycine. 3g before bed in other studies has been shown to reduce: ⬩Night time urination ⬩Urination urgency ⬩Blood pressure Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that keeps us in restful sleep. Glycine is a powerful protective agent for your brain. It markedly improved stroke outcomes in one trial. 1-2g of glycine in people: • Reduced death • Substantially improved disability status in survivors by supporting antioxidant status & due to its anti-inflammatory prowess. In fact, glycine has been shown to improve mood & dopamine functioning, preventing: ⇨ Blunted affect (reduced emotional expression) ⇨ Alogia (poverty of speech) ⇨ Anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure) ⇨ Avolition (lack of motivation) Glycine can help prevent allergies in experiments. Animals fed glycine REDUCED: • Antibody production • Gut inflammation • Mast cell activation • Allergic symptoms Glycine interacts with various immune cells, "calming" their reactions and lowering inflammation. Glycine almost completely prevents kidney stones. People with kidney stones have LOW glycine, & glycine prevents kidney stones by: • Promoting citrate excretion, which binds excess calcium, preventing crystallization • Decreasing oxalate excretion Glycine has been shown to improve cold + flu by over 80% in some studies. 10 grams per day. Glycine supports the extracellular matrix (collagen), which provides a physical barrier to infections. Glycine is also an anti-inflammatory - aiding in recovery from illness. Glycine prevents weakening of bones with age, even in low amounts, in animal models. Glycine can increase: • Bone mineral density • Trabecular number • Connectivity density through increasing proliferation of osteoblasts, cells that help restructure bone. Even in a puny amount (<1 gram human equivalent). Anywhere from 3-5g, before bed, is what we do, but you can go up to 15 or 20g depending on your use case. Some people do react poorly to it, but those cases are very rare in my experience.

My gym bro doesn’t know anything about Clavicular, Peptides, SARMs, Amino Acids, Ray Peat, or Mike Mentzer 😭 He came to me and asked what he should do to look like me. I put him on a high sugar, low fat diet, moderate protein with a lot of gelatin, no supplements, and the same training as me : very low volume, very high intensity. He followed everything blindly without asking questions. In less than a year he outperformed most guys in the gym, and now people are starting to ask him, and me, if I’m giving him steroids.
