@psypharmacopeia @benljohnson1996 Love how you slipped in that you benched 300 in highschool like that’s somehow relevant 😂 cool story bro

@phil948 @benljohnson1996 That’s crazy. I benched over 300 in high school, at a body weight of 165. Even with subpar genetics a full grown man should easily be able to be 315 with a few years of intelligent training.

If you’ve been lifting for 5+ years and still can't bench anywhere near 3 plates (and want to) At some point you need to stop blaming genetics.

@vivekguptaa @grok what ~percent protein is paneer by calorie?

Paneer being both “high protein” and “high fat” confuses half of twitter daily.

@EvinKnowsBall Peak play? Sure Peak game? Maybe Peak season? Prob not

Peak for peak OBJ had a better peak than Julio Jones

@hotiiofficial Try squatting 5 days a week for 1 month. It will totally transform your perspective on workout splits @squatober

Gym workout splits are very important as they decide how much rest each muscle gets for proper recovery after every session, a lot of gym people still struggle to find the right split. you might be helping someone drop the workout splits that has been working for you 👇

@brettboettcher1 People confuse “using protein” with “muscle protein synthesis” There’s a max amount of protein you can have in one sitting to maximally stimulate your muscles to grow. We thought that number was around 30, but that looks like more of an average now, with a lot of variation

"Your body can only use 30 grams of protein" Wrong. There is no upper limit to protein utilization. If you ate 100 grams of protein for breakfast it just takes you a few more hours to use it. Keeping you full, your metabolism firing and your body recovering optimally.

@sam_gzstrength The runners never listen

As a strength coach sometimes you have clients that will insist on doing dumb shit like trying to run The Texas Method while prepping for a marathon It's very important that you tell that client "no"

@themaxburns If you haven’t tried it: you’re really not missing much. It tastes like greek yogurt with protein powder

Chocolate whey protein mixed into nonfat Greek yogurt is a gift from heaven.

@FattyNoNatty Why not just take 5-10 mins to cook them fresh lol

Meal Prep Sunday

@EvinKnowsBall I seriously can’t with these helmets 😂

Cleanest moving 6’5 WR since Calvin

@BetMGM @grok edit this list to only include players with receivers in the 50th percentile or higher by weight

Is the NFL combine overrated?

@HansAmato Cant wait to see who goes in to work with their milk timer on Monday

I didn't realize drinking one cup of milk every 30 minutes in the morning would do what it does. No appetite in the morning? Don't force a meal. Just drink milk. > Keeps blood sugar stable without overwhelming digestion > Hydrates you simultaneously > Delivers consistent protein, fat, and carbohydrate in small easy-to-process amounts > Puts you in a hyper-anabolic regenerative state > Makes you warmer, not colder When you naturally start craving something salty, that's your signal your body is ready for solid food. That's not a supplement protocol. That's a cup of milk every half hour. So far the simplest morning hack I've found.

@thegarybrecka Your body has literally no idea what day of the week it is

Tonight is the most important sleep of the week. Sunday night sleep directly determines your cortisol curve, cognitive performance, immune function, and metabolic state for Monday and Tuesday. Here is exactly what to do in the next 30 minutes: - Stop looking at screens. Dim every light in your home. - Take 300 to 400mg of magnesium glycinate right now. - Set your thermostat to 65 degrees. - Write down anything on your mind so your brain can let it go. - Set your alarm for the same time you will wake every day this week. The week starts tonight. Not tomorrow morning.

@NFL_DovKleiman What a fat loser

Yikes: Panthers fans are concerned that WR Xavier Legette looks extremely "SLOW" and "HEAVY" in a recent training video. Legette has been a pretty big disappointment since he was drafted by Carolina in 2024. 😬😬😬

@BigDadEnergyX That’s ~75 testosterones per egg. Not a bad ROI

This is from eating 36 eggs a day.

@toylan20 This is your weekly reminder that aiming for the RDA for protein is an AWFUL idea

The minimum recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight For example, a 68 kg person X 0.8 = 54 grams of protein daily assuming a standard large egg contains approximately 6.3 g of protein and a standard crate contains 30 eggs. If a person were to rely solely on eggs to meet their daily protein requirements, they would need to consume between 8 and 9 eggs per day, amounting to roughly 8 to 9 crates per month. Depending on body weight.

@zachary135791 Are you saying it’s not a good idea on its own? Or not good at all? Supinated grip pulldown involves a large degree of elbow flexion

I know people love to worship Mike Mentzer around here, but the idea that a supinated grip pulldown is a good idea to grow your biceps is wild Your biceps have two functions, friends - supination - flexing the elbow …… Get it now?

@upRootNutrition Facts. You could have easily predicted who would be against them before they were even being discussed

It's not surprising that the people who are most upset about GLP-1s are the same people who have the most to lose from them—diet quacks whose brands are getting absolutely bodied by real technological innovation. Their seething just reveals that they never gave a fuck about you.

@ChrisVMDHealth @drgarymcgowan Such a strange stance to take, betting your life on science you know nothing about

@drgarymcgowan Honestly this one was just upsetting to me. People are going to die. Really sad.

@NoahRyanCo No it’s fat OR carbs! You have to pick one. And then model your entire identity around it

What does all fat people food have in common? Its all fat and carbs. Ice cream, french fries, pizza, cookies, cake, potato chips. All fats and carbs. Combining fats and carbs makes your reward circuit go haywire. Both fat and carbs trigger dopamine release in distinct circuits. Your scarcity-coded hardwiring thinks you just hit the nutrition jackpot and its signals for you to eat as much as humanly possible. (Natural carb-fat combinations are extraordinarily rare. Pretty much just milk). This is why every restaurant, every box on grocery store shelves, and every guilty pleasure you can think of is fat and carbs. It shortcircuits your brain into ravenous consumption. People literally get addicted to it. This is a metabolic shitshow. Insulin gets released to handle the carbs, but fat intake means the fat gets stored efficiently into adipose tissue (insulin is your fat storage hormone). The best thing you can do to start optimizing metabolism and body composition is to cut out high fat/high carb mega meals
