@SahilBloom The investment: ~5 hours a week. Lifting heavy objects 3x a week, 2 work sets per exercise, 2-3 exercises (at least one compound movement) to failure and hiking or jog for an hour or so 1X a week, sprint intervals one day (usually 4 days after leg day…)

… for 35 years

New meta-analysis: Lifting weights beats every other form of exercise for protecting your brain as you age.

Just 2x/week, 45 min sessions → biggest boost in global cognition + inhibitory control.

Likely mechanisms: More BDNF, better insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, improved blood flow.

Pick up the weights. Your brain will thank you for decades to come.

I respect Campo as a player and a person but he needs to stop coming out making these silly comments. Doing nothing for his reputation and respect in our game

The more he talks about the game the way he does, the less ppl will remember him for the genuis he was

Regular consumption of moderate amounts of coffee and caffeine has been tied to significantly reduced risk of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke, according to recently published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (doi:10.1210/clinem/dgae552). The study found that consuming three cups of coffee or 200-300 mg of caffeine per day is associated with a 48% lower risk of new-onset cardiometabolic multimorbidity —the coexistence of at least two cardiometabolic conditions.

The research analyzed data from the UK Biobank, which included over 500,000 participants aged 37-73 years over an 11 year period. After excluding those with existing cardiometabolic diseases, the findings were as follows:

*️⃣48% reduced risk of new-onset CM for individuals consuming three cups of coffee per day.
*️⃣ 41% reduced risk for those consuming 200-300 mg of caffeine per day.

The study also found that moderate caffeine intake was linked to lower levels of harmful very low-density lipoprotein.

The protective effect of caffeine from coffee and tea was observed across almost all stages of cardiometabolic multimorbidity development, suggesting the importance of coffee and caffeine in maintaining overall cardiometabolic health.

There’s so much more in the day of a professional rugby player than most may realise. I chatted with @NSWWaratahs Head of Athlete Performance @TJOCarter about the working week for the NSW Waratahs, and breakdown one specific training day as an example.
