An inability to do pullups is almost always more a bodyweight issue than a strength issue. If you're a man and can't do 5 strict pullups, you are almost certainly overweight. And if you can't do 1? You're obese.

If you need a pre-workout with 300mg+ of caffeine in order to work out, that's a sign that you have some issues you need to take care of. Sleep, diet, recovery, etc. It's not ok to need a baby dose of meth to have enough energy to work out.

I’ve decided on my next Hybrid Athlete challenge: Run a sub 17:00 5k and Total 1200#+ in the same week. Think I can do it? Or am I being delusional?

@Alan_Couzens For the past 15 years I thought Z1/Z2 was a waste of time. Please don't be like me. Just try it. I promise you won't regret it. And you may even grow to like it.

@Stoic_Father I can bench 290, squat 400, and deadlift 510. I can also chase my kids, wrestle on the ground, and throw them in the air. You can be strong and functionally fit.

How many people do you know that have started 75 hard and finished it? I don’t think I know any. Most people don’t need 75 hard. They need 75 easy. Focus on building a habit first, then worry about hard.

**1 Mile Time Trial Today** I ran 5:05. Here's how it went: 400m: Damn, that felt good, I'm gonna run 4:45! 800m: Ok, maybe started a little quick, should still have sub 5 in the bag tho 1200m: Shit, I'm in trouble I guess 2:24/2:39 isn't the ideal way to run a mile 😂

Most of you shouldn't train like I do. You almost certainly don’t have the training history to handle the volume. You likely don’t have as much free time as I do. And you probably don’t love it like I do. And that’s ok. Because YOUR training should align with YOUR goals.

I improved my 5k time from 20:35 to 18:46 over the past two months, running only one day per week. Seriously. Only one day per week. This isn’t a trick or gimmick. Here’s how I did it: 1. I

@rationalaussie So does it magically become not a scam when they are 5 and old enough for kindergarten?

1200# Total! Back Squat: 400# Bench Press: 290# Deadlift: 510# Why is this impressive? Because I also plan to run a sub 1:30 Half Marathon next weekend! Excuse me for posting a video of my total again, but I just figured out how to combine videos, and this is pretty cool:

How much would you pay to be healthier, happier, and better looking 6 months from now? Guess what? You can have all of those things for free. All you have to do is improve your diet and move your body.

***Update*** I’m now also permanently banned from r/AdvancedRunning! 😂🤣 I haven’t posted on there since they deleted my post two days ago. They banned me purely because one of the mods saw my post from yesterday on here about how r/running banned me. Truly unreal.

One drawback of getting really lean? You look significantly smaller when fully clothed.

95% of my cross-training was stationary biking. It was all done in Zone 1. If you've never done Zone 1 training, you won't believe how easy it is. I'm talking so easy that you feel like it can't possibly be providing any benefit. But it is. Oh, it is.

@VitMammaBjorn Just because you don't think it won't happen doesn't mean it won't. I've been on this call: Mom fell asleep breastfeeding her baby and suffocated her. It's rare, but it does happen.

This was my first-ever attempt at a bulk. Pretty bad, right? In 2012/2013, I went from 170 to 195 in 10 months. I gained ~15% body fat, and I look like I aged about 15 years. Sure, I gained some muscle, but really, I just got fat. WAY fatter than I needed to. Sadly, this is

Today, I got banned for life from the r/running subreddit.😂 I posted a version of the Zone 1/Cross Training thread in r/AdvancedRunning and r/running. It got deleted in AdvancedRunning, and I got permanently banned in r/running. Here's why:
