Most people avoid hard things.
That’s exactly why they stay stuck.
Mike Pannone explains why choosing difficulty is the start of everything.
Full podcast in the comments.
The bloom is coming of @PeterAttiaMD's max VO2 rose.
I was calling BS back in 2021, as has @EricTopol.

Just reread @brilliantheath's Why Moats Matter, indispensable for understanding why GLP-1s are branching into addiction-and anything else they can-ahead of patent expiration.

Everyone needs a cheering section… even if they have four legs 🐾
But support only gets you so far.
Results come from having a system you actually follow.
No fluff. No guessing. Just a structure built around your life that keeps you consistent when motivation fades.
If you’re ready to stop winging your workouts and start training with purpose, let’s talk :muscle:
Had a great conversation with Dr. Dan Jacobazzi — and his take on GLP-1 inhibitors is worth hearing.
He believes GLP-1 inhibitors are heading toward a class action lawsuit. Are we moving too fast with these medications?
Strength is the ability to produce maximum force. An hour of Pilates isn't strength training. 1,000 crunches isn't strength training.
You build strength by lifting heavy things, putting them down, and repeating that consistently. Heavy is relative—what's heavy for you isn't heavy for me, and what's heavy for me isn't heavy for someone else.
Heavy doesn't mean reckless. Heavy doesn't mean stupid. Heavy means challenging.
If you're ready to train with intention and actually build strength, let’s get to work. 💪
This should wake you up.
Young professionals are having heart attacks and strokes at record rates.
This used to be an old man’s consequence.
Now it’s a young leader’s crisis.
Why?
We’ve glorified stress.
Normalized garbage fuel.
Accepted weakness as “busy.”
We’re building businesses while bankrupting our bodies.
Your health is not a hobby.
It’s a responsibility.
To God.
To your family.
To your mission.
You cannot lead well from a hospital bed.
You cannot fulfill your calling from a grave.
Excellence isn’t selective.
If you demand it in business, you demand it in your body.
If you’re ready to stop neglecting the engine and start building strength that lasts, let’s talk. 💪
Did you know your products could be contaminated before they even reach your warehouse?
Andy Holmes from INFORMED breaks down the shocking ways products can become compromised during the manufacturing process — and it starts earlier than you'd think.
Even the pallets that raw ingredients arrive on at supplement factories can be contaminated. They've even found traces of... watch to find out.
Supply chain transparency and rigorous quality control aren't optional — they're essential.
@Fred__Duncan A max sprint by an elite sprinter imparts a 2x bodyweight force through a single leg in 2/10 second.
So unless a 150lbs. sprinter could squat 600lbs. in a 2/10 second, there is no way to replicated the forces of sprinting in a weight room.
If you have been following me, you probably think my workouts look repetitive... Good.
That's the point, I don't chase novelty. I chase consistency. I chase execution.
Every rep looks the same. Every setup is the same. Everything is intentional.
No wasted motion, no wasted effort. If you're tired of the guesswork let's talk.
The way that cheat meals turn into cheat days and cheat weeks is because you keep stressing about that cheat meal.
The way that missed workouts turn into missed weeks and missed months is because you keep worrying about that missed workout
Don't worry about that missed workout or cheat day just lock in for the next one. If you’re ready for a real action plan, let's talk!
This isn’t a new diet—this is why no diets.
Modern nutrition (“nutritionism”) is fundamentally flawed.
You can’t divorce nutrients from food, food from diet, and diet from lifestyle, history, and culture.
This worked when hunger and deficiency diseases were the primary nutrition concern—but not anymore.
Now, that approach is causing more harm than good by actually making chronic disease worse and creating a new problem—orthorexia—neuroses about food caused by endless panics and false panaceas.
I lay out the history of how we got here in my first of two-part Substack article.
Next, what does work…

The ROI for training top speed in football is an age-old question: how much time to spend working an attribute that gets expressed one or two times a game?
When they do reach top speed, one of two things happens: a touchdown is made or a touchdown is stopped.
The real ROI might be that Vmax training increases injury resiliency.
I'd be interested in the ROI of Vmax and Vmax training, similar to research in baseball that Moneyball spawned.

The Norwegian vs. American medal count is all the rage.
41 medals vs. 33.
5 million people vs. 340 million.
Which has, of course, revived the early specialization debate.
Is the American model worth it?
Kids specializing by elementary school.
Full-time athletes by junior high — with school crammed between practice sessions.
Good and timely reminder of @DavidEpstein’s Range: sometimes breadth is depth.
Generalists often see connections specialists miss.
They innovate because the obvious solutions have already been exhausted.
Diversifying experience is also risk management.
In sport, that can mean fewer overuse injuries.
In life, fewer burnout cycles.
Range isn’t intuitive.
Synergies in complex systems rarely are.
But the edge often lives at the intersection — not inside the silo.

Two thinkers. One theme. Different angles.
📘 @CalNewport — Deep Work
→ Protect attention.
→ Depth = economic leverage.
→ Focus is a competitive advantage.
📘 Jim Loehr — The Power of Full Engagement
→ Manage energy, not time.
→ Performance oscillates.
→ Recovery fuels intensity.
Newport gives you structure.
Loehr gives you physiology.
One guards your attention.
The other guards your energy.
Both point to the same truth:
Cognition isn’t just mindset.
It’s optimizing and rationing finite capacity for focusing on your mission and purpose.
And that's why it's a co-equal Pillar in my SCREEN Framework: Spirituality, Cognition, Recovery, Environment, Exercise, and Nutrition.
