No more guessing! This is the only commercially available doubly labeled water method I’ve seen. It’s the gold standard for determining TDEE. I first read about the method in Dr. Herman Pontzer’s book, Burn. Great read! Thanks Calorify for the opportunity.

Great to see more health experts encouraging people to lift. So many of my friends in their forties hate the idea of lifting heavy. As we age, we lose fast twitch fibers preferentially. Taxing the muscles to produce more force is how we recruit those high threshold motor units.

When I had children, I built a plan to help guide their athletic development. The plan had two main objectives. First, to create a positive association with both sports and training. The second, to take advantage of age related sensitivity periods of athletic development.

I periodize my training and nutrition. It serves to help prioritize adaptations, reduce overuse injuries and it breaks up the monotony of training. Using the Seasons, I build three 4 week Mesocycles in each Phase. Forever athlete! Fall - Strength Accumulation - Caloric Surplus

The loss of eccentric strength is responsible for many falls in aging adults. If only there were a group of exercises that could simultaneously train force production and force absorption, involved all major muscle groups and helped with balance, coordination and mobility. 🤔

The most important macro nutrient is Protein.

My current training goal: Build a physique that’s appealing, high performing and resilient. Keeping the Reaper at bay happens to be a cool side effect. #foreverathlete #rippedandready

For my international Weightlifters, we fight to add even a few kilos to their total each year. A 20 week training block is the minimum for them to create any meaningful adaptions. Therefore we prioritize 2 anchor dates in a calendar year. Spoiler alert: Cuba GP next month!

It’s better to have a plan and then make changes to the plan as needed. Never do Nothing is not auto-regulation, it’s a strategy to help prioritize and celebrate intentional behavior. If you can’t finish your training as written, that’s not a reason to skip it or feel guilty.

Counting down the days to our training camp in Knoxville. Then it’s straight on to Cuba for a pivotal Olympic Qualifying event. The boys crushed this Training Block. They’re ready to smash big totals and move up the ranking list. Coaching these two is the honor of a lifetime.

My friend is 60 and is a 2 handicap. He played college golf and then continued to play recreationally until present. I’m 46 and clean 155kg (341lbs). My lifetime best is 202kg (444lbs). I usually train the Olympic lifts around once a week. Bottom line, the easiest way to be good

Nathan totaled 365kg here at the Cuba GP. Narrow miss at 210kg CJ that would have given him a 375kg total and moved him up one spot on the Olympic Qualification list. Great experience and still sitting 8th. Proud of his fight!

Wes is up today. Good opportunity to move up the Olympic ranking list. He’s in great shape and I look forward to this session!

Busy day at work so the Never Do Nothing training philosophy was in full effect. 8 minutes of Zone 4 conditioning then 5 light clean singles, then worked up to a set of 5 of the back squat and hit the sauna for 20 min. Celebrating intention instead of perfection!

It really doesn’t take much. Just 2-3 sessions a month of strength work can create very positive outcomes in young athletes. Especially if you amortize that over a few years. Sam is 9 years old. We only add weight to challenge positions.
