Black Rifle Coffee, Adam Glass, and this goes POOF tonight
|
Sitting at Black Rifle Coffee in Moore, Oklahoma with an aggressively large black coffee and a laptop. Black Sunshine is in the parking lot pointed south. Later today I roll into Weatherford TX to spend some time with my coach Adam T Glass and his wife Ashley — one of the sharpest and most original thinkers in the strength world and someone I am lucky to call a friend and coach. But before I leave Moore, I need to tell you about something that goes away tonight. At midnight PST, the fast action bonus on Flexible Meathead Cardio Level 1 closes. That bonus is a private 30-minute call with me. Not a sales call. Not a “let me walk you through the course” call. A working call. You come in with your current setup — what you’re lifting, how often, what your conditioning looks like right now, what your VO₂ max or 2K row time or resting heart rate tells us about where your engine actually is. We spend thirty minutes getting specific. You leave with a plan, not a course you’re still “getting to.” I charge $250 for a coaching hour. This is $125 of that. Included when you enroll by tonight at midnight PST. After midnight it’s gone. The course and the other three bonuses run until April 1. This one ends tonight. Here is what Dylan Fowler — 13-year strength and conditioning coach from the land Down Under— ran the FMC system and had this to say: “This course deepened my understanding of VO₂ max and cardiovascular health, and gave me applicable protocols I could implement straight away. The Progressive 6 method is so simple, so effective — and it measurably improved my HRV, resting heart rate, and VO₂ max from just six minutes per day. Phenomenal. Dr. Mike, you’re a legend.” Six minutes a day. Not hours of Zone 2 BS. Not a suffer-fest. Six minutes — including warmup — that measurably moved HRV, resting heart rate, and VO₂ max. That’s what a system built on actual physiology does. Go to the link below for all the details. Much love and applied physiology from OK, Dr. Mike PS -Even if you miss the call — the course stays open and the other three bonuses run until April 1. But the call is the one I can’t replicate with a PDF. Thirty minutes, your training, a plan you can start Monday. _____________________ Mike T Nelson CISSN, CSCS, MSME, PhD Mike T Nelson is a PhD and not a physician or registered dietitian.

Running a bit late this AM as I am stuffing Black Sunshine full of kiteboarding gear and pointed south not looking back. Here is a question that came up just the other day - yes, once again! “Can’t I just lift weights faster? My heart rate goes up. Isn’t that cardio?” It is one of the most logical-sounding wrong answers in the history of exercise, so I thought it was worth taking another stab at this Zombie Myth as my buddy Lou Schuler calls them. Here’s what your heart is actually doing when...
As you saw earlier today, the Flexible Meathead Cardio course level 1 is open again so this is perfect timing to unpack the Zone 2 cardio debate with my friend Kristi Storoschuk, a PhD candidate in exercise physiology. We dig into what “zone 2” really means (including lactate thresholds and why common proxies like heart rate and the talk test can miss the mark), where the 80/20 endurance model came from, and why messaging around zone 2 for mitochondrial function, fat oxidation, metabolic...
There are three kinds of lifters. The first one trains like the apocalypse is personally coming for him every single session. Every session is a suffer-fest and even weight training is turned into a ritual of snorting pre-workout off the gym sink in an effort to put forth enough effort of beyond failure training to make Mike Mentzer's ghost smile down upon their heroic gym deeds. Every conditioning piece is used to its fullest degree as if it committed a war crime against his own nervous...
