How many people hear “you should never squat again” from their doctor and just run with it. I know I’ve been guilty of it myself. We are responsible for taking data, even data from our doctor, and vet that information.

Start day with a high protein breakfast all meals high protein. Have no cravings so o snacking no desire for junk foods. You speak the truth. Easy when you eat real food.🏋🏻🏊🦊
I wish there were far more discussions focused on how different exercises and training zones effect the heart. I am training to treat serious heart and medical issues, not to look good. I run out of breath far sooner than I ever feel legs burning so it seems my problem is far more heart and cardiovascular than muscle endurance. Would pedaling on my spin bike at a higher cadence, longer duration, or higher resistance better improve total cardiac output? How much time should I spent at 70-80% versus above my lactate threshold? What does it mean if I run out of breath long before my legs ever burn?
Whoever doesn’t have adhd and need to switch everything aaand likes the same exercises, blocks of 5by5 with high intensity with some blocks of 10by10 is pure gold
I am glad that Mike gives love the Marine Corps. I have followed him for years and learned a lot. Recon are VERY capable. The Marines in general get no love in this bearded operator world, but they have done amazing things and have produced some of the finest warriors on the planet. There have been a few Marines that have gone to Delta. One was even a "conventional" Marine, so that alone should be proof enough that they produce a fine infantryman. I am so glad that he addressed why there even is a Navy SOCOM unit, yet the Marines are pushed aside. It is totally backwards. I got to see it first hand while I was in. You pull some rust picker off of a ship, and make him a seal and the ego ensues. It is like someone firing a weapon for the first time, and then they go around braggin about it. At least other SOF units recruit from infantry, so you guys that are already used to the culture. It has always befuddled me how we got passed over. Mike is always fun to listen to!
Yes. High quality high protein meals for me. No cravings no snacking. I have the appetite of a teenager but smarter. At 70yrs I am oldest OG under the barbell at local YMCA. Have a banna. 🏋♂️🏊🦊
Totally agree about the fish! Tried to find wild caught salmon. Found one product: a bag of frozen sockeye. Was shocked. Farm-raised is literally a different fish in terms of the nutritional profile.
This reminds me of DoJo martial arts, 98% of it is fucking bullshit theory and hypothetical situations. There are a few arts thats work that have been tested across time. In real world violence the variables are many and situations are usually over before they begin. People are selling are making a killing selling a false illusion. I love how he calls it out for what it is because he's lived it and survived
Absolutely not, 30 is actually a more common age for new students. 3 months for EMT class, plus 4 months for EMT-Advanced. And then 6 more months of instruction for paramedic certification. Not counting a few small 1-3 day certifications you’ll need and collect along the way like PALS, TECC, CCP-C, ACLS. You’re gonna be 32 in 2 years nothing will stop that. But the question is are you gonna be a Paramedic on your 32nd birthday. It’s all in the mindset. God Bless and good luck my friend!
RU-vid is obviously censoring this video because it has no views on a channel that is huge. There's the evidence for you right there if you ever wondered if the system was rigged.
Don’t forget, whatever you do, if you don’t enjoy doing it you will not continue long term. If you don’t enjoy lifting and don’t start enjoying it while struggling through the first months, try something that you find fun. That why I don’t diss on classes, CrossFit and such, but make sure to listen to your body. Adapt to your own limits and press beyond your own limits, not someone else’s
You will one day stand before God and answer for everything you have done. How will you do on that day? Here's a quick test: Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you used God's name in vain? Have you ever looked at someone with lust? Have you had sex outside of marriage? Have you ever had, or been involved in, an abortion? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, fornicating, blasphemer, adulterer at heart, and murderer, and the Bible warns that God will punish you in a terrible place called the lake of fire: Revelation 21:8: "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Yet God, who is "...rich in mercy,..." sent His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross for all guilty sinners. We broke God's law and the Lord Jesus Christ paid our fine. That means God can legally dismiss our case and He can commute our death sentence. John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent of your sins and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift: Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Sizelove is incredibly based & intelligent. Can’t wait to take his employment class at Lowcountry Range Days in October. Great podcast guest & interview as always Scott
The part that resonated the most for me was when you mentioned movement ( sorry for this....Function lol). I'm 51 and have been working out (again) for the last couple years. I have managed to get back to when I was working out in my 20's (size wise, with some exodunous help) but I went bowling the other night (ya, I know, laugh it up) and I was amazed how stiff I was. I literally had to walk up to line and throw down the lane. My body was so tight and range of motion was so limited I couldn't even do a simple slide. I'm rethinking my workout regimine at this point.
FINALLY, someone speaks about requirements and gear. I worked force modernization/ Requirements and he spoke truth, and myth busted all the talk that SOF uses whaterver they want. Another thing I wish he spoke of is requirements and contracts, program of recorsds for issued products vs govermenr purchase card purchases which arent requirements nor issued items and what is authorized and not and $$$ limits per purchase.
For 3 years of my life I was demon oppressed. Nothing could get it out until Jesus Christ removed multiple demons from me. It’s people reading this that could be dealing with demonic oppression and things that they know aren’t natural . Jesus Christ is the way and the healer and the fixer of all our life. Jesus gives Life. I called out to other gods and nothing took it away until I called out to Jesus and he gave me an encounter with Him and His Spirit. He is the only way. I see demons casted out of people, the sick healed, and now the LORD has blessed me to start doing deliverances. Honestly, its real even if we want to believe it or not. God bless you all if any of you are going through anything look up the RROC deliverances with Richard Lorenzo Jr and he does mass dileverances over youtube on thursdays. You will feel the Holy Spirit! Repent, it will set you free. Jesus is real and the Son of God, Son of man, and God the Son! Hallelujah and God Bless you all in Jesus name. If your wondering why theres still no peace as far as you go and as high as you seek its because the peace and fulfillment your looking for only comes from God! We’re lucky because that peace we’re looking for God wants to give to us! And He given His Word to us to show you how to get to Him and receive His peace. And that peace is Jesus Christ. God bless you all and I pray I can inspire some faith in one of you today and show you the God who leads us out of brokenness and darkness! Amen!
This is one of the greatest things I’ve heard someone say about shooting. From the military to law enforcement to private sector so many guys make shooting and especially CQB sound like rocket science or astrophysics. Over complicating simple actions and movements. Also making it so f*cking mechanic
Came here because a fan of Mike's on X was upset about the CZ P10c existing. I almost want to go back and thank him now after hearing this podcast episode.
Building muscle over 40 is ridiculously easy now. Being over 40 is a guaranteed yes for trt. Just get on the test and everything is simple from there. You don't really even have to try that hard.
