These are my present protein supplements for midday & post workout. They're good as supplements, but all bar one (the PB) are too sweet. Even "Carnivor" (powdered beef) is sweetened. We are being infantalised with sweet "treats".

Sarcopenia ("age-related loss of muscle mass") - is it really a thing? Isn't the loss of muscle mass due to reduced weight-bearing activity, change in diet, increased sedentism? At 70 I can build muscle as readily as a 40 year-old. It's not easy - but it never was.

The wonderful Frank Forencich has brought out a new book - this one for teachers. I have not read it, but I can guarantee that if it's from Frank it's good! Frank is about practice derived from theory and the result of the dialectic between the two exuberantanimal.com/in-print

My son completing 26 jerks with a pair of 40kg kettlebells in about 50 seconds at 95kg bodyweight (no "assistance"): youtube.com/watch?v=qy1vTJ… There are no world rankings for this event, but I don't see it being beaten for a long time.

Today, Wednesday 26 February, will probably be my last visit to the gym till the situation regarding COVID-19 is clearer. I'll take and use alcohol wipes. My next sessions will be sandbag and kettlebell-based at home + meeting Apple Watch targets

On my mission to show that sarcopoenia is not "AGE-related muscle loss" - it's "REDUCED EXERCISE-related muscle loss". A high-handle deadlift of 223kg (492lb) at age 75 on 24 April 2024.
