Has anyone else noticed that - for people who train both - the endurance crowd expect super high endurance standards but have low strength standards, and vice versa for the strength crowd? To qualify this: I’m talking for non-elite but serious athletes.

What did people do in the gym in between sets before they had phones? Serious question. My early gym days were phone-free, but even I catch myself looking at my phone in between sets sometimes…

Is it just me, or do dentists always play classical music? Happens on both sides of the Atlantic! Anyone have a different experience?

Trying to improve VO2 max using the bike, but finding your legs fail before your lungs, especially on multi minute attempts? Try 10-12 rounds of 30 seconds on and 15 seconds off. Great for people with a history of strength training/power sports. Give it a try!

Longevity isn’t necessarily living longer. It’s delaying decline.

Training like this demands recovery. Focus on it. Sleep, nutrition, supplements. But most of all consistency. I’ve trained obsessively for 20 years. That’s what separates potential from reality.

Hill sprints. Tempo runs. Loaded carries. Zone 2 cycling 30+ mins, 4–5x per week. VO2 max ~55+ (elite). Push, pull, drag. Conditioning makes you capable for longer.

Strength is potential. Speed and power make it usable. – 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds or under – Sprints – Box jumps, broad jumps, rotational throws Explosiveness turns gym strength into real-world force.

Strength is the foundation. Here are the standards for 3–5+ reps: – Deadlift 550 lbs (250 kg) – Squat 465 lbs (210 kg) – Bench 340 lbs (155 kg) – 20+ reps at 225 lbs – 10 pull-ups with 10% bodyweight added Build this base and you’ve built a Batman frame.
