Go anywhere these days, and the trend is to yammer on about recovery metrics.
Is it a helpful conversation? What are some things to look out for?
I was recently on Barbell Shrugged to chat about HRV, sleep, and using the Oura ring.
Check out the podcast below.
>> Tracking HRV and Sleep with the Oura Ring <<
As stated in the podcast, I'm stoked to work with Dr. Andy Galpin, Dan Garner, Anders, Doug, and the fantastic crew at Rapid Health!
I am helping with the visible stressor evaluations and Oura analysis. I've been working there part-time since November, and it is epic.
I am still here and working on other projects too. There's always something going on!
Much love!
Dr. Mike

But what actually changes? Like physically, in my body?” Great question and most programs never actually answer it. Here is what happens when aerobic training is programmed correctly — right intensity, right volume, right progression, in the right order. The physiology of a...
On the drive to Austin today I kept coming back to a study I had been sitting on for a while. And it is not a new study at all, but still nobody is talking about it which is exactly why it keeps nagging at me. I've spent decades, literally, reading research and looking for the largest increase in aerobic performance in trained subjects - not just untrained nooobes who wander the purple halls of PF. And for 6 years now, this study is still the single greatest VO₂ max increase I have ever seen...
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.
