You SUCK at Recovering & It's Costing You Muscle! (Science of Recovery & CNS arousal) 

That’s probably one reason I’ve lifted bigger weights at age 54 than 38. At 38 I was living in S Florida along A1A with all the light pollution, motorcycles and Ferraris at 2am. Now I’m way off a dead end road in South Bumblefuck Ohio and it is so quiet and so boring. Maybe I’ll hear a great horned owl in the night. There are pros and cons to those very different lifestyles.

Agreed. Sleep and nutrition are like training. Its quality matters as well

Happy New Year from your favorite son!🎉

Nice work Brendan - look forward to seeing the rest of this recovery series.

My face and mind right now 😮🤯 because I never connected the dots for old age and the neurological benefits only for the physical benefits. As always, appreciate you taking the time to teach us plebs 🙏

I've been following you for a while, since you released the new technique of taking the slack out of the deadlift bar, and I honestly can say I get so excited when I see a new video from you. I know its going to be top quality, real, full of proper information. You never make your audience feel bad or dumb, you're not condescending, which weirdly enough plenty of other yourtubers do. I think you are ahead of the game and your content is so refreshing. I wish I could get you as my coach in real life, but unfortunately I live in Scotland! Anyway, could you go into some detail on how to help the CNS recover? I've recently purchased a Whoop as well, I think I saw breath work as one option, but I don't know much about it.

Brendan. Love your voice modulation!

Finally someone who's talking about CNS. The point is, my CNS burns out WAY faster with bodybuilding style training in comparison to classic powerlifting ( 1-5 rep ranges).

Hey mate gday from Down Under. I can’t state how much I appreciate all your content. One of the most value channels on YT for lifters imho. I wish I was in a position to acces paid content, but I must say I love your work. 💪🏿

New to the channel and learning so much. Thank You 😊

i love your channel tysm

This is an excellent topic. Its one I've been looking into since I'm building up for my first powelfitig competition. I have mthfr, celiac and hypoglycemic. Once i got a handle on my sofium and potassium, it helped so much. This is graat!

Very interesting take on recovery! Looking forward to the nutrition data. I’ve noticed how the hype affects my recovery afterwards, it’s pretty wild

Great information. Please gointo more depth on.sleep, nutrition. and how they affect the CNS. Also, a deeper explanation of the music piece. I.listen to loud heavy metal, rap, etc.

Real keys just dropped.. Also this made me think of mindset and resilience by extension; it may not be the most genetically or materially gifted ones who go the furthest but simply those who have the best mastery of themselves..

Great info

Looking forward to the nutrition series

Happy new year dude. Brendan , have you ever tried meditating like for an hour straight or more ? One thing I did notice after my meditation practices is my “extremes” has gotten more extreme. This statement makes no sense but now when I am calm I am a lot more calmer than I was before the practices and when I am trying to get amped up for the top set I amp up so much more but in a more controlled manner. Coffee doesn’t wreck my sleep like it used to before. And that condition when I got extremely…don’t know how to explain it. You speculated that I reached the first jhana ( it wasn’t), so I can reach now like 4 times quicker. Started to read The Divine Comedy as well. My mother the other visited me , right after I finished my cold shower and asked why I’m punishing my body so much with cold showers😀

Do you have any advice on bracing with straps? Just asking as I find it difficult to set up from the top down when tying straps.

Bro, you gotta watch the podcast episode with Dr. Huberman and Dr. Jack Kruse

nice to see someone mention inflammation and not just reduce it to "don't eat x"; it has become such a meaningless buzzword because of all these gurus

Great Channel, just found it

Yo Brendan, do you think that recovery is a trainable variable? Like for example, could I start spamming amraps for a given exercice each week, and with time my body becomes more efficient at recovering at those?? What do you think about this generally

Hey Brendan, huge fan of your stuff. What's your take on magnesium supplementation for recovery? I saw you you take it on the "2 nutrition mistakes" video but you didn't end up expanding on it. I'm currently taking 126mg of magnesium bisglycinate at night. Not sure if I should keep adding more to boost more recovery.

Is the Whoop really worth it, or is it just a gimmick?

I dont get more than 2-3hrs sleep at a time although I sleep 7-8hrs in total. Cristiano ronaldo does the same
