Can 2 Meals + 150g of Protein Really Work?
|
New research just dropped — and it might flip your meal plan upside down. Hey meatheads, misfits, and protein pragmatists — I’ve got a spicy new study for you. My buddy Dr. David Church (aka @DrMyohead) and the legends over at Arny Ferrando’s lab just published a beast of a paper in The Journal of Nutrition. Real RCT. Real stable isotope tracers. Real metabolic carnage. Here’s the setup: What they found? I won’t spoil the rest here — the full breakdown (plus commentary, practical takeaways, and a nod to the Trommelen protein sledgehammer study) is waiting for you 👇 🔗 Read the full article here → And if you're the kind of person who wants protein research, you can actually use — not just to impress someone at a protein bar — you're going to love this. Dr. Mike P.S. Flex Diet Cert opens June 16. We go deep on protein, recovery, and everything else that actually works, with insights from Stu Phillips, Jose Antonio, and more.

Well, saddle up, Broseph Ironblood, because I built this infernal machine for you. The Real...
Let’s talk about the MetCon cult’s favorite excuse for avoiding real cardio. "Can’t I just lift weights faster? My heart rate goes up, so it must be cardio, right?" In short, no Brosefus. No, it is not. This is the same logic that says, “I drank six vodka sodas, therefore I am hydrated.” Just because something sounds logical doesn’t mean it’s physio-logical (shoutout to Dr. Peter Lemon on that quote). Why Lifting Faster Does Not Replace Cardio Let’s break this down before you hyperventilate...
Today, I’ve got something that might just change your life — if you can handle the truth without crying into your protein shake. Hahaha. Let me hit you with some real talk: Want energy that roars through your day like a V12 engine—no crashes, no slumps?
