We know creatine is awesome for muscles and performance, but it’s also good for your brain 🧠

A new study showed acute improvements in cognitive function from just a single high dose of creatine monohydrate

Also… it doesn’t harm your liver

It doesn’t harm your kidneys

There’s no evidence it causes hair loss

It doesn’t cause subcutaneous water retention

For some people it can cause GI irritation. For these folks, doing multiple smaller doses throughout the day rather than a single dose may help

Creatine is the most effective, tested, safe supplement on the market today 🤷🏼‍♂️

Why are most professional athletes washed up in their 30s? 🤔

Is it strength? No, athletes are typically much stronger in their 30s. 💪

It’s for sure not intelligence… athletes study their craft and become experts in their 30s.

Do athletes lose their endurance in their 30s? On the contrary, endurance athletes excel into old age.

Is it diet? Nope. Most professional athlete’s learn to eat perfectly to extend their careers.

Does the rock star lifestyle catch up to them? On the contrary, most athletes get married and live stable lives in their 30s.

So, what is it?

Could it be a lack of sprint training? 🤔

Here’s my theory. ⤵️

As we age we lose elasticity… the muscles can grow stronger but “the rubber band doesn’t shoot as far”.

Why do we lose elasticity? Too much focus on strength and aerobic conditioning. No pure sprint training.

The biggest thief of athleticism is a dampening CNS. The decline of the CNS results in a loss of speed, the tide that lifts all boats.

A loss of speed, causes a decline in game-speed agility. (Slow guys don’t change direction fast.)

A loss of speed creates a loss in SPEED RESERVE, having a crushing impact on sprint capacity and speed endurance.

A loss in speed results in a loss of quickness and the ability to jump and bounce (explosive reactive forces).

The CNS governs speed. Speed is neurological. Speed is electrical (not muscular).

The declining CNS also governs our ability to think fast and react fast.

If we could only find a way to keep an athlete’s CNS firing like it did at age 20. 🤔

“Never slow down, never grow old.”

Sprint as fast as you can, as often as you can, staying as fresh as you can.

coffee massively decreases the risk of liver damage in this study, almost 90% in those drinking 4 cups a day

coffee protects against alcohol damage, increase glutathione, antioxidants and reduce fat accumulation in the liver

our livers are under attack today. drink up

Any ideas why they might be leaving in their droves?

We simply cannot afford to lose these skilled dedicated professionals

Wholesale gas is now 109 per therm. How much lower does it need to go.

• It was 702 per therm on Aug 26th ‘22
• It was 530 per therm on Mar 7th ‘22
• It was 293 per therm on Oct 5th ‘21

It’s inexcusable that energy bills are rising by another 20% in 23 days times.
