Fitness tips I know approaching 50 that I wish I'd known when I was 20: (Bookmark for 30 years of fitness knowledge in 1 post) 1. People underestimate how much fat they have to lose.

@WillionaireG Hey William. Will DM you

@ted_ryce Hey Ted, I hope you’re doing well. Are you available to coach?

You didn’t get out of shape overnight. So don’t expect to get fit in 12 weeks. Stop worrying about how long it will take and focus on staying consistent. Keep making the next right choice and getting back on track fast when you fall off. In 10 years, you’ll thank yourself.

@BackPainFitGain Exactly

@ted_ryce You sit on your ass 10 hours a day (at least). And you think 1 hour of gym time will fix your back problems?

@drewlock Guess I don’t have to worry because I’m master 4 😅😂 On a serious note, I’d love to compete again one day! Good luck with the comp! Would love to see some footage

If you were competing against me, what would your strategy be?

@SahilBloom Yes and not wearing ear plugs at night

Nobody tells you this: You can win by just embracing what most people avoid. Wake up early. Focus. Move your body. Eat real foods. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. Have difficult conversations. The recipe for a good life.

Client went to Fleming's Steakhouse. Ordered mac and cheese as a side. 1,260 calories...for a SIDE. Meanwhile: Filet mignon: 550 calories Roasted asparagus: 90 calories The steak isn't usually the problem. It's the sides drowning in butter, cream and cheese.

@LarryAnderson13 Hahaha definitely won’t help—especially if you ask it for a diet or workout

@ted_ryce No help from AI? So disappointed!

No one can eat right for you. No one can lift weights for you. No one can get 7 hours of sleep for you. That’s why getting in shape is the ultimate status symbol. There is no cheat code. You can't buy it or inherit it. You have to show up and put in the work every day.

The real reason TRT is so popular over 40: It lets you live like crap without feeling like crap. Too fat. Eat poorly. Sleep poorly. Train too hard. Testosterone still looks “great.” Because it’s artificial. No lifestyle change required.

@GiffenHealth Then I shouldn’t take them because I already feel like I’m 30😉

@ted_ryce But the peptides and biohacking would make you feel 35.

No TRT No HGH No Reta No peptides I’m 49, these are results with medium-high effort. Still eat dessert and drink alcohol. If you're putting in high effort and you're not at least this lean, then you're using the wrong approach. And you don't need any of the above chemicals.

“Poor sleepers” in this study had a 68% injury probability. They defined “poor sleep” as: • ~6 hours or less • Waking up multiple times • Not feeling recovered Why does this affect injury rates? Because sleep impacts: • Motor control • Reaction speed • Muscle recovery • Connective tissue resilience In other words, you’re slower, tighter and your connective tissue is less resilient. That’s the perfect recipe for injury. If you’ve got a belly and have high stress, the risk is even higher. Here’s how I approach it personally. When my sleep is dialed in, I push intensity (BJJ, intervals, hard lifting). When sleep is off, like it has been this week, I still train but I scale it. That means: • Less sparring and more technical work in BJJ • No more than 2 sets per exercise with strength training • More low-intensity cardio and recovery methods Most people think they need more discipline. But the smarter move is adjusting intensity to match recovery. Train hard when you can. Train smart when you can’t.

Soreness ≠ progress. Soreness = muscle damage. Too much of it means you overdid it. Now you're skipping workouts to recover. You just lost a week of progress because you thought "more pain = more gain." Intensity matters. But consistency is more important.

@acekingspades Haven’t tested it but my guess would be 14-15%

@ted_ryce Whats your body fat at here?

@AlexWatsonMD @Hybridathlete Hahaha the game is the game

@ted_ryce @Hybridathlete

Guy on here said you shouldn't sleep with ear plugs in because you can't protect your family. What a joke. If you live in an area where wearing earplugs is a threat to your family's safety, it is your duty as a man to make some more money and move your family to a safer area.

@Hybridathlete 😂

@ted_ryce They both need new ghostwriters

@parkerworth Tenho saudade de você Parker

In Brazilian culture there's a word that can't be translated into English: "Saudade". It's the bittersweet ache of missing something, or someone. A longing so deep it becomes part of your soul. But it's not quite sadness or joy. Saudade is something that moves you in ways you can't explain. Brazilians don't fight this feeling, but rather, let it reshape them. Most people sprint through their life collecting moments they'll miss later. The coffee before it got cold. The city before they left. The version of someone before things changed. You don't feel saudade for the things you stopped to appreciate. You feel it for the things you were too busy to notice. Slow down before it becomes a memory. The life you're rushing through is the one you'll long for.

@hispanicnomad Had an equally unimpressive experience at Santa Marta.

Colombian 🇨🇴 beaches are a scam I went to Santa Marta expecting Valencia or Benidorm 🇪🇸... And instead I got dirty sand, zero infrastructure, and a vendor harassing me every 5 seconds trying to sell me fruit I didn't ask for Sorry but someone had to say it You need to go to places like Tayrona (which IS great), Playa Blanca or Bahía Concha to have a good experience The ACTUAL beach cities of Latin America: 🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro: iconic for a reason 🇧🇷 Floripa / Balneário Camboriú: Europe-level development 🇺🇾 Punta del Este: clean, organized, world-class 🇦🇷 Mar del Plata: unpretentious and genuinely good Colombia is great for many things Beaches? Not even close
