Carbs don't make you fat. How YOU eat carbs makes you fat. That's an important difference.



I feel bad for everyone doing heavy dead’s weekly thinking it’s the ultimate muscle building movement 🥹🥹🥹

45 degree hyperextension I've been telling people to do these for almost 20 years now, Strengthens posterior chain, can fix nonspecificlow back pain, great for flexibility mobility A few sets with bodyweight for max reps Add weight if you want to


I’m 38 years old And I’ve basically been in shape my entire life. I was able to do it because I took heed to what older in shape men would tell me. It’s not hard to get in shape, if you stay in shape. When you’re young is the easiest time to get in shape.

I want front squats to make a comeback They were considered a fundamental exercise for decades but around the late 2010s they fell out of favor with the science based lifting crowd for not being "optimal". The limiting factor is your torso strength and flexibility But that's also what makes them excellent, they develop whole body strength, core, and quads and glutes from the deep knee bend (Young Arnold doing them heels elevated, which is how most people should do them)

The vast majority of people end up helpless in nursing homes because they lose muscle. Avoid this as long as possible by lifting weights weekly and eating an animal based high protein diet daily.

CNS Fatigue and How to Avoid It Central Nervous System fatigue, what is it and how do we avoid it? It occurs when an athlete does excessive volume of highly taxing explosive work in a short period of time. CNS fatigue can lead to a temporary reduction in their ability to generate force. This will look like a 10-20% (or more) drop in power output and they'll look and sound tired, because they are. But let's clarify further. Some seem to think that CNS fatigue leaves an athlete completely exhausted and unable to move. That's not the case. The key to avoiding CNS fatigue is common sense: Don't crush them with ridiculous volume on highly taxing training. That's 90% of it. Safe Zone Here are some appropriate volume guidelines to stay within to avoid excess fatigue: Jumps and Plyos: 10-20 total reps for per day or 40-60 total reps per week Max Effort Sprints: Between 200-400 total yards for speed per week Lifts: 20-25 total sets per day in the offseason15-20 in-season2-4x per week Stay within those ranges and you'll be fine.
