A 2 year study and UT Southwestern and NTNU A 2-year study on previously sedentary 50-something adults showed that a 4x4 Nordic (Norwegian) interval training, performed 1–2 times weekly, reverses 20 years of age-related heart stiffness. The protocol demonstrated that with the right variety, intensity and frequency of training, V02 max can be increased significantly, and hearts can become larger, more compliant, and more functional.

The "protocol" is what most people miss. Sometimes out of ignorance and sometimes out of apathy.

I didn't use this picture because tires are the best way to do this, but rather to point out that nearly anything can be used...if you're willing to put in the work.

Big biceps are nice to look at. Low intensity steady state cardio is great.

But it's not enough. If you want deeper benefits, you have to be willing to wade into deeper water.

And I would say 20 years of functional age reversal is pretty deep.

Btw, I promise I'm not naked in this photo 👀

PSA for the fellas:

1. Keep lifting

2. Know your worth

3. Raise your prices 😂

Life can feel complicated.
The gym scene on social media is similar.

If you’re new to this arena, you likely feel intimidated at the complexity of it all.
If you're experienced enough, you're probably tired of it all. Such as:

(1) Ideologies and opinions that have gone from competitive and nuanced to combative and elitist - *this* one way is the only way 🥴

(2) The luring click bait nonsense that capitalizes on algorithm and always underdelivers substance

(3)The posturing of frat boy-energy meat heads who's offerings and personalities equally came out of a bottle

So lets untangle the traffic in your head, and line up some runway for progress in a singular direction. This is where most people fail - movement started, but not enough to gain momentum that is kept as an adopted process.

Here are some nearly foolproof ways you can stay on track, and hopefully not be having this conversation with yourself again in 12 months:

1. Your time in the gym is valuable. You'll get out of it what you put in. Say your hellos and goodbyes quickly when you're " in session." This means avoid conversations that become 5 minutes of rumination or distraction. Daily drama or pi***ng and moaning about the frivilous has no place here. Stay focused.

2. If you physically can, you should. You will easily get buried in responsibilies and excuses everyday that keep you from one of your highest priorities  - your health. If you aren't sick, recovering from 3rd degree burns, or chronically short on sleep, the best thing you can do today is *something* intentional.

3. Set quantifiable but simple rules for yourself: 
Never go more than one day without ___ minutes of training. 
Don't eat after ___ p.m. 
Maintain and average of ___ hrs of sleep.
Boundaries are not restrictions. They are safeguards for success

4. Limit your entertainment consumption and focus on your development. We are created mind body and soul, and we grow better as this totality than when we obsess merely on a goal itself. Be open to facing the parts of you that have led to your current struggles and predicament, and be closed to the notion of bringing them along any further.

Don't miss it! Atmosphere + Equipment + culture = best facility in the region.
