@YouTubeTV @Disney and @espn are greedy af! I'll pass on the thousands of hours of garbage programming so I can watch one @NFL game a week. I'm over it.

@progressive I called in. Your customer service continued to waste my time. I will be posting about my negative experience with @progressive at every opportunity I can. Terribly disappointing.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

Avoid @progressive ins at all costs. Getting a horrible runaround dealing with a policy regarding my recently deceased father. Absolutely atrocious during this difficult time.

Social media, a place where people go to find all the different ways they can excuse their behaviors.

I feel better at 56 than I have since my 20's while still lifting heavy weights because I prioritize sleeping 8+ hrs, maintaining a healthy bodyweight, conditioning, rehab, prehab, and soft tissue work.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

When lifting, it's easy to get enamored with the amount of reps you can do. Make sure your are not sacrificing quality for quantity.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

Training should be fun. Do more singles, AMRAP, odd lifts, rep ranges, etc. Hitting a challenging lift is a lot more motivating than a set of 10 with 2 reps in reserve.

A simple weight loss tip that has helped me lose and keep off 135 lbs. Put your food/silverware down after each bite, chew, and swallow before you get your next bite.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

I'm quite certain people who can train in the morning have made a deal with the devil and can't be trusted.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

You don't always need a deload. Sometimes you just need to skip that overworked bodypart for a session.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

I once missed a lift 6 consecutive times in the gym and got it on my 7th attempt. I'm glad I didn't have science or AI back then telling me how wrong this was. We are capable of more.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

Fitness has become as annoying as politics. Full of hot takes, gas lighting, and picking sides. Avoid the noise and do the work.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

A recent meta analysis shows the more time you spend reading exercise studies, the more paralyzed with uncertainty you'll become when it's time to actually train.

If you want to get in great shape you're going to have to experience some discomfort. There are no easy hacks.

Happy Memorial Day.
If you are watching your weight, remember the Golden Rule of eating. IF A FOOD IS NOT A TEN, IT'S A ZERO! Enjoy.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

A good idea for some people would be to shift their focus from worrying about what is a healthy food to what is a healthy bodyweight.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

Joy - When you finish a weight loss phase and move to maintenance calories. It feels like you are cheating. I'm off to eat a bagel 🥯

Hack For The Older Lifter
If you add a new exercise or rehab movement to your program, set an alarm in your calendar for the next day to see how your body responded.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

Go figure. Losing 135 lbs and doing a sh!t ton of conditioning has cured my sleep apnea and asthma.

[Vincent Dizenzo @VincentDizenzo]

Experiment with different resistance training, conditioning, mobility, and nutrition methods. There is no universal best approach. It's what you can adhere to CONSISTENTLY that will reap the most benefits.
