A bit of running, a bit of lifting, founder @gettranquilitas

[Phil @pushpullrun]

This is what I’ve been working on behind the scenes since May.

We are very close to having the drink mix in production. I cannot wait to share more with you and answer any questions along the way.

For now, enjoy the logo @iamhaleyshane made.

Thanks to everyone who has given me guidance on this journey. Especially those of you brave enough to sample the mystery powder I blended in my kitchen.

I have found a bunch of amazing friends through this app, but nothing prepared me for the level of support you have all shown since I started this project. There are honestly too many people to list and I don’t want to forget anyone.

Follow @GetTranquilitas for regular updates and ingredient info. I’ll be rolling that out along with more about the product and how it came to exist.

[Drink Tranquilitas @GetTranquilitas]

Tranquilitas is a powdered drink mix that will help you maintain emotional balance while remaining sharp and present.

You want to experience a sense of calm without the compromises that alcohol or prescription drugs come with. We can help.

Our ingredients are scientifically-backed and used in efficacious doses. We will not hide behind a “proprietary blend” and we will have third party testing for every batch.

Full ingredient info will be revealed soon. We are finalizing our product packaging and gearing up for production.

We look forward to sharing our story and products with you.

Let’s get Tranquil AF.

Suicidal people never realize is just how LONG life is.

I used to give G.G. Allin a run for his money. Raising hell, brawling, blacking out on liquor state to state, actively suicidal.

Nobody told me that 7 years later, I'd be driving my minivan to the LL Bean Store with my family and would actually genuinely enjoy it. I mean I used to sneer at the "LL Bean" type people, and now I guess I am one.

My "normal" then and my "normal" now have almost nothing in common whatsoever. It is as if I have been given an entirely new life.

And who knows? It could happen again. Maybe ten years from now I'll be a commodities trader in Pakistan, or running a successful chain of auto detailing stores in South Dakota. Literally anything could happen.

I didn't know any of this the last time I put a gun in my mouth. If I did, I probably would've realized how absolutely fucking retarded it is to kill yourself.

@BowTiedPhys I love those and usually have some around.

Also check out @eatboldbar if you haven’t yet.

So much nuance to this one. I agree having the right spouse is way more important than owning a home.

Wife and I both owned our own houses when we met. Bought in the glory days of 05-06 and got married in 2010. Lost on both when we sold, but went up majorly with the place we bought together in 2015.

I suppose my point is you can consider a much longer timeline for everything else once you have the right spouse.

[Marc Lobliner - IFBB Pro @MarcLobliner]

For years I uploaded to YouTube almost every day: training, nutrition, prep vlogs, interviews, all of it on the Tigerfitness channel.

On October 19, @YouTube terminated the channel. I appealed, and the appeal was denied the next day. I offered to remove any video they had a problem with and start clean. @TeamYouTube’s answer: no reinstatement, and no way to get a copy of my own videos.

I’m not asking them to put the channel back up. I’m asking for my own work: thousands of videos showing my face, my voice, my training and my family over the years.

So I’m taking action:

• I’ve filed a formal request under the Tennessee Information Protection Act for a copy of my personal data, including every video I uploaded.
• I’ve sent Google a formal notice to preserve the channel’s videos and records.
• If they refuse, I’ll use every remedy available to me, including complaints to the state.

Here’s how you can help:

• Keep the pressure on. Reply to or tag @TeamYouTube and ask them to give Marc Lobliner a copy of his videos. Keep it respectful. Persistence works better than insults.
• If you ever downloaded or saved one of my videos, reply or DM me. Every copy helps.

I’ll keep you posted. I’m not stopping.

@BowTiedPhys I’m old enough to remember when The Offspring told us about this phenomenon.

@garage_gym_dad $1 Gorilla Mind is great news

[Dan @daniwao]

As I put my son to bed tonight, I had this train of thought.

There is nothing better than being a dad. I've said this a few times but the sentiment grows and grows. There simply isn't anything better than being a Father. To tucking my son in and telling him I love him. To hear him ask me for one more story. One more funny noise.

I know that there's a ton of Fathers on this app. A ton of Dad's. I mean this honestly and sincerely.

I am rooting for you. No matter what is between us. If you're a dad, I'm hoping that you have an amazing relationship with your child.

I know that there's dad's here who have kids in there 30's. Some with kids in highschool age, some same age as my son. Whatever age / stage that they're in, I'm rooting for ya.

B/c I'm still and will be, always learning. I've learned a lot from a lot of great dads on this app. No, dad's aren't perfect. But man, we do f*cking try.

Keep pushing and may God lead you with grace and love.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

@iamhaleyshane They are so good for PWO or during endurance events. I ate a ton of them during my first 100 miler.

[Tanei the Science Guy, PhD 🧪🧫 @Dr_TJRicks]

We be arguing about straight bullshit on this floating space rock

[Phil @pushpullrun]

It’s really annoying that @DigitalFringed1 was right about the Just Bare chicken.

I thought I was fine with the Costco version to save a few bucks. Tried Just Bare today and I can’t go back now.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

Another 16 miler with 4x1 mile tempo repeats in it.

Had to be honest with where my fitness is right now and slow down the tempo.

I felt way better on this than any of the 16+ mile runs I’ve done in the last 2 months.

@rooflife123 @BowTiedPhys Google is free.

@BowTiedMarmott We just added cleaners back into our lives and man is it nice.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

Shout this from the rooftops.

Unpopular opinion but

Cardio matters for men
Resistance training matters more for women

Being a man >50 is a risk factor for CVD

Build a solid physique in your youth & then maintain it but focus on your cardio for longevity

[Phil @pushpullrun]

@Dad__Miles He’s fine now. Ate breakfast an hour later without issue.

My morning is just written off at this point. At least it’s a bike day.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

Today’s morning cortisol spike amplified by the sound of a puking dog as I was waking.

Big puppy had a coffee wood stick that was supposed to be a better alternative to the nylon chews.

Turns out he’s such a fast chewer that he was able to ingest a lot of it.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

@runliftrunlift Races are just a celebration of the training you put in.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

@MrLel14 @HankFrank Slower. Lots of Z1 work.

[Phil @pushpullrun]

@AlesBuildsStuff @BowTiedPhys Not a bad plan

[Phil @pushpullrun]

@dpolehn Only way I do is on the treadmill or bike trainer. Unless we’re talking some kind of family movie or something like that.
