"Zone 2" has many definitions anywhere from 60-85% max heart rate depending on who you ask. However 60% is radically different training from 85%. You can also reach any heart rate with endless ratios of cadence, resistance, and distance. I run out of breath far sooner than I ever experience leg fatigue so it seems my primary limitation is my heart and circulation not delivering enough oxygen. I can push 400 watts for 2 minutes because of leg strength, but barely average 200 watts for a 20 minute test. What cadence and heart rate percentages do you think most increases actual heart chamber size and central adaptations? Did you find increasing cadence, resistance, or distance most improve FTP?

What's crazy is that I haven't played in a decade as well since high school lmao. I got into Pickleball a little bit a few months ago but decided that I wanted to go all the way and get back into Tennis. We'll see how all of this goes.

Is that the ultrahuman ring? will you do a review soon? confused between trying this or waiting for the samsung one.

Interesting!! Searching for the trouble shooting videos and found yours. I got mine yesterday and before even charging it and trying it out I wanted to change the strap (bought a whoop plus different colour strap plus underwear) I was convinced it’s an amazing device and I won’t regret. I already do. I can’t change the strap, I must have a faulty item but the easy ‘slide side’ is like glued and doesn’t move at all even with force. A few people tried. I can’t take the strap off. I have seen many videos of changing the strap and no one mentioned it being stuck and hard to slide out. It feels like manufacturing issue. So I reached out to whoop and let’s see how fast they respond. Going through the hassle of having it replaced (if they approve) and then the software might not work, or a charger… 😩I kind of feel like there is no quality control. I should have kept my Apple Watch. I don’t like screens but quality is always there. 😏

Love this video it was very helpful

So im guessing 2 scoops is to much ? Lol

What about with bull horn handlebars ?

Thank you! Also great tee / t-shirt. How can I source it? 🙏🏻

If you looking for things to motivate yourself, thats a problem right there. Motivation is in the mind. With that said, if you really want to workout you will find a way, and if you dont you will find excuse.

Seems like a scam

guys can anyone tell me what is power estimated mode which has two options classic and zpower in zwift settings? i have randomly clicked one thing and i actually forgot which one was previously i have wahoo smart trainer v6

my pre is 400

Thanks for your feedback and review. Getting my virtual shifters soon so very excited.

I've been using Swift for around 6 weeks now, still very much a newbie, mostly on my new Wahoo Core, which I really like, and when I found out that it now supports virtual shifting, after doing some research and debating it I decided that getting the Play controllers made the most sense for me. The Bluetooth protocol that Zwift uses to tell the app to virtually shift appears to be proprietary and closed right now so you can't use generic Bluetooth controllers for it, and there's no way to virtually shift using the app or companion app, so the only ways that I know of are the Play and Click controllers. And since the Play controllers are much more useful than the Click which literally only shift and have just 2 buttons, and are just $19 more than the upgrade kit that the Click comes with, which is of no real use to me since I just have one bike and a bunch of old cassettes, I decided to get a pair and ordered them today. They're a bit more expensive than I'd like but they do have lots of other features I can see myself using, like steering, braking changing perspective, giving ride ons, etc. But mostly I got them for virtual shifting, as it'll save wear on my road cassette and be much quieter, and offer much lower gears than my bike does for those long and steep climbs that I've been avoiding so far because I'm still getting back into shape.

Im a long distance runner. I use BPN's gels and Electrolytes mix. Love both. I don't find the Electrolyte mix to salty at all. But all personal choice.

I have the same problem using the ATV. Basically crap. Fancy box, oodles of how to videos and marketing money but it would be nice if the toy would simply work. It doesn't for me?

Honestly, you should try CrossFit Linchpin through BTWB. There’s a 2 or 4 week free trial period. Everything negative you described in your video is accounted for through Pat Sherwood’s programming (there are plenty of options including a Limited Equipment Option which requires only a pull-up bar, a set of dumbbells, a set of rings and a skipping rope. I’ve been doing it for four years now and it’s incredible. I would LOVE to see your honest review of it.

Well your string choice is good although it won't do any good untill you get the feel for the racket and timing again. Al in all nice video man

Dude I’ve seen a couple of your videos now, quit being like the rest of society and expecting free stuff as you’ve complained in both videos and stabbed at BPN for making you buy their products out of your own money, work and pay for stuff out of pocket like the rest of us and give your review on it.

Nick Bare has a lot of time to workout like this. He’s also a freak (in a good way). When I say he has a lot of time more than your average Joe; he worked his ass off to build his company that earned him this luxury. Again he worked hard.

How do you ensure you have synchronized the bike computer and z power profile start time?

Wilson nxt is my favorite string. Most club/rec players use monofilaments that they see the pros using because they can generate so much spin and power, which is true for pros. This issue is that we aren’t pros and as you get past 45 it’s so easy to get overuse injuries, tennis elbow etc. I tried all kinds of elbow straps etc, but when I switched to these strings it fully went away, as did my dreams of becoming pro lol.

What size is that Apple Watch ?

mhhh

What’s wrong with the whey protein exactly?

I love that you have the crown on the bottom and use it with your right thumb. This looks way more intuitive with easier use! 🤩

Thanks for the video. I just started using the controllers. With the Zwift Hub One trainer, the black side buttons also allow you to shift virtual gears. Super useful!

What about G1M sport?

nick bare is over doing it. he looks like he's in his late 40's. his face is ageing so terribly.

When should i take bpn reds

Yeah I was on that same cgm and my doctor took me off because of the same issues. Tons of blood would come out of the center after applying it, when you took it off it would pull off a huge thing of skin everytime, it would get ripped off. And when I got the Dexcom G6 I tested how close my blood sugars were from the Dexcom G6 and the Freestyle libre 2. And what I found out was the Freestyle libre was way off with my blood sugars compared to the Dexcom G6 and testing with a monitor. It was like a crazy 40 point difference. I'm now on the Dexcom G7 and it definitely is my favorite!!! Siri even reads out my blood sugar to me when it drops too low and it also notifies my husband!!! Love it!! When I first got on a cgm almost 5 years ago my A1c was at a 9 and I couldn't get it any lower just on 6 test strips a day and now my A1c is at a 5.5 🥰 the lowest I've ever had it as a type one diabetic!!! We have 3 diabetics in our house. Me (type one diabetic) my husband (type 2 diabetic) and his mother Debbie (type 2 diabetic)...my husband wasn't a diabetic when we first started dating (10 years ago) but during covid lock downs he became a type 2 diabetic and he definitely understands what I go through from day to day now.

Soda (& diet soda) and rice (even brown rice) try to kill me too. But they also make keto icecream 🤫

Thanks for the honest review on the training program dude! I appreciate it :)

Don’t ever take full serving of the Flight pre workout my blood pressure was 160/90+ for like 24hrs. But yes it’s good I take less than half a serving/day and have been good since.

You can’t even pronounce the compounds in those supplements correctly, I’m using BPN products but I’m not sure how this video is going to encourage ppl to buy BPN products

Glad you mentioned how silly it looks to pop out over and over for 400m intervals. I do that sometimes and I’m sure my neighbors think I’m absolutely nuts lol

It’s reading electrical activity not just sugars.

I’ll believe that Nick is natty when he ever comes out and tells people he’s had an injury. To think someone in their 30s is doing a bodybuilding show, ultramarathon and sub 2:45 marathon all in a 6 month time with no injury is nearly inhuman. As someone who’s lived their 30s you just can’t keep up like you did in your 20s. Now it helps that Nick doesn’t have a physical job like I do where I’m logging 6-8 miles a day on my step counter, but to be putting that amount of mileage on a 200+ lbs frame without injury for years doesn’t seem realistic. I mean within 2 weeks of running his training app I had knee pain and ankle tendinitis.

I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death.

Ice cream?? Really? But all that sugar

Flight is S. Just don’t do a full scoop. Pink Lemonade (Flight) mixed with Blue Raspberry (Endopump). If you haven’t tried it, thank me later.

The whey protein is Delicious! Strong reds and greens are awesome too. Not interested in taking the other stuff. I think they need to lower the price a little on their products though

What does SAC&D stand for lol

What exactly is wrong with their creatine?

J u n k volume, this programs awful

What is a better brand for creatine?

Great video! Thanks for going into the details of what's actually in the products. I've been trying to find a good review on their strong greens/reds.

I take a whole scoop of flight, and barely feel a thing other than the beta alanine tingles.

I recently joined Whoop in the past month and had the same issues a week and a half in. Customer service here in the UK got back to me and promptly sent me a new band which arrived 3 days later. Funnily enough my original band started responding 2 days after being drained completely flat. I only figured this out by trying the battery pack again out of curiosity. No indication from customer service as to why this happened but worth setting aside to see if this occurs for you. Am using the replacement band moving forward but was a little disappointed about the original failing so quickly.

Nick Bare is another fake natty and trying to imitate him is dangerous. If you run more than about 60 or 70 miles a week, you will crash your testosterone, like cut it HALF. I ran D1 track, and this is well known in there. Top level athletes there will monitor carefully and supplement to bring it back up to normal range. Just putting this out there because most people aren't aware of it like there's awareness of roids in bodybuilding and stuff.
