750 reps in 19:46.
25 rounds:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats
That’s:
125 pull-ups
250 push-ups
375 squats
750 total reps.
No machines.
No complicated program.
No hour-long gym session.
Just pull, push, squat—repeated for 20 minutes.
You don’t need perfect conditions to train.
You need something simple enough to do consistently.
Less than 20 minutes. Full-body work.
Busy workday today.
So I trained on my lunch break.
97°F in Rankin, Texas.
40 minutes total.
But there’s another part of the story:
I recovered extremely well last night.
Resting HR: 44 bpm
HRV: 96 ms
Nighttime recovery: optimal
Resilience: exceptional
So today was a good day to push intensity.
Workout:
10 × 60m hill sprints
• 12% incline
• 9 seconds each
• Recovery = walking back down
• 600m total uphill sprinting
For context, someone with roughly 4.5-second 40-yard speed would cover 60m on flat ground in around 7 seconds.
Now point the road uphill ~12%.
Then:
Hex-bar deadlifts
275 lb × 5 reps × 6 sets
Bodyweight: 180 lb
Load: 1.53× bodyweight
30 total reps
8,250 lb total lifting volume
Heart rate during the session:
Average: ~134 bpm
Peak: 171 bpm
All in about 40 minutes on my lunch break.
I was also fasted and had only consumed about 50g of protein so far today.
That is context, not a recommendation.
Fasting tolerance, nutrition requirements, training history, medications, metabolic health and individual biochemistry all matter.
The bigger lesson:
Exercise shouldn’t look the same every day.
Some days recovery is poor and the right move may be walking, Zone 2, mobility or rest.
Other days you’re well recovered and can sprint, lift heavy and actually challenge your system.
And being busy doesn’t mean training has to disappear.
You don’t need perfect conditions.
You need to know what your body is capable of today, use the time you actually have, and stay consistent long enough for it to compound.
I appreciate your reply. @HansAmato so if raw milk it was also full milk fat? I read some of your substance on this specific topic. Do you attribute the positive outcomes to a more optimal gut flora, a surplus in bioavailability carbohydrate (not to negate fat and protein) to boost thyroid function? I find this n= 1 very interesting, and self experimenting is extremely useful.
@HansAmato He posts a lot and responds to people, and lots of people liked my comment. If he doesn’t want to engage then so be it. There’s a lot of misinformation on X and creating a dialogue to share ideas can sometimes help spread changes that lead to positive outcomes.
Health is reserve. Build more strength, muscle, cardiovascular fitness and metabolic capacity than you currently need.
Train for the body you want at 80, not just the body you want this summer.
Prioritize protein and mostly real, nutrient-dense food. Food quality matters. Food quantity still matters.
You don’t need to eat every time you’re hungry. Give your body periods when it isn’t constantly processing food.
Fasting is a tool, not a religion. If it works for you, use it. If it makes you miserable, find another approach.
Insulin resistance can develop long before blood sugar becomes obviously abnormal. Don’t wait for disease to start caring about the physiology that precedes it.
Move after meals. Walk, clean the kitchen, play outside, do some squats. It doesn’t need to be complicated.
Build and maintain muscle. Strength becomes increasingly important as you age.
Build your aerobic capacity. Walk, hike, bike, swim, run: choose something you’ll actually keep doing.
Occasionally make your heart work hard. VO₂ max and cardiovascular reserve matter.
Sleep 7–9 hours, get outside, get sunlight and move every day. The basics aren’t exciting, but they work.
Know your numbers. Blood pressure, waist circumference, glucose, A1c, lipids/ApoB and other metabolic markers when appropriate.
Being thin and being healthy aren’t the same thing. Body composition, strength, metabolic health and physical capacity matter.
Supplements and medication are tools—not substitutes for the fundamentals. Stop chasing health hacks while ignoring food, movement, muscle, cardiovascular fitness, sleep and recovery.
Consistency matters more than optimization, but only if you’re consistent with something you can actually live with. The “perfect” diet or exercise program is worthless if you hate it enough to quit.
If you hate running, don’t run. Walk. Hike. Bike. Swim.
If you hate the gym, train at home.
If fasting makes you miserable, don’t force a 20-hour fast because someone on the internet told you it was optimal.
If you can’t overhaul your diet, start by changing breakfast.
If 10,000 steps feels impossible, start with 5,000.
If five workouts a week isn’t realistic, consistently doing two beats repeatedly failing at five.
There is no prize for having the most optimized health routine for three weeks.
The goal is to build a way of living that you can still see yourself doing years from now.
Find the things that work for you.
Do them consistently.
Once they’re easy, add something else.
You don’t need to become 100% healthier tomorrow.
You only need to be 1% better each day.
Because the boring things you’re willing to do for decades will probably matter far more than the perfect things you’re only willing to do for a month.
@GrantCardone We will always support you Grant. We have purchased every product you sell and invest with you. Never had a single issue. @GrantCardone@AleishaBeckum
@retail_mourinho Yes, in the dot com peak and 20-21: The largest technology companies dramatically outperformed while equal-weight indexes lagged badly.
@GaryCardone@GaryCardone it seems like you’re asking some very valid questions and people are becoming uneasy because of this. And there could be a variety of reasons, but I think high level discourse will spring new ideas which is what we need in times of chaos or stress. Thank you Gary.
