@SBakerMD 300 lb. PC, ummmm no.

@SamaHoole How many world class, or for that matter national-level bodybuilders, strongmen, olympic lifters or powerlifters eat no exogenous carbs? I'll wait.................................

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@SamaHoole You forgot one; meniscus tear. 😒

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@Alan_Couzens Wouldn't a VO2 max of 50 at age 70 be at the 99th percentile? If so, your chance of it being at that level isn't great regardless of what it might have been at age 50.

@bennyjohnson You're really not this stupid, are you?

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@Ben75428064 @cana_nathan @SamaHoole Tell that the all the top Tour De France teams.

@elonmusk What's the conversion factor used to determine intelligence from energy?

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@newstart_2024 What a shocker to learn that for a healthy man over 75 with no CVD that statins offer little benefit. That's like saying that an appendectomy offers little benefit for those with a non-inflamed appendix.

@caloriesproper2 Many pro cyclists with extensive testing have found peak performance with 120-140g/hr.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@raphaels7 Tell that to the pro cycling teams whose business it is to maximize performance.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@Dreamchaser4132 @ProfTimNoakes And also for daily 100 mile cycling races which run for 3 weeks. Do some not realize that these cycling teams have studied this stuff?

@PeterSweden7 Therefore, it must be the Sun which is reducing mortality rates. Good Lord.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@BuildingOnShift @SBakerMD No it didn't. Muscle glycogen, even from gluconeogenesis while on a carnivore or keto diet, is enough to fuel such short duration efforts without exogenous carb fueling.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@bakrantz @provomitch @SBakerMD Honestly, if Dr. Baker ranked in the top 5 for the 2000m row while purely carnivore, that would be news.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@bakrantz @provomitch @SBakerMD 500 m row is an anaerobic (glycolytic) event. In the absence of dietary carbs gluconeogenesis will provide enough muscle glycogen to power it. Get much beyond this distance (1500m +) and you will have an advantage if you maximize muscle glycogen with pre-event carb fueling.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@bakrantz @provomitch @SBakerMD The dogma was never that he couldn't win a 500m row as a carnivore.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@SBakerMD Ummm...genetics?

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@SBakerMD Actually, research has shown carbs to provide a performance advantage in running distances as short as 10k, and at distances as short as 5k maximized glycogen stores are a significant advantage. Such stores are depleted while on a ketogenic diet.

@DineshDSouza Wow you are stupid. The President does not control the price of gas, but his policies can certainly impact the factors that do.

[WestyAZ @mjwestcott]

@SamaHoole Of course old age has been with us, but not at the same percentage of total population. If you are 65 today, 40-50% chance you will reach age 85. In 1926, only a 14-15% chance.
