HRV
Go anywhere these days, and the trend is to yammer on about recovery metrics.

>> 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!

Much love!
Dr. Mike

Kudos to Fitness Newsletter Insider Shane for including me in the full article. Here’s the excerpt from it ‘HEAVY’ FACE PULLS The heavy face...
Yesterday I watched a guy spend twenty straight minutes doing preacher curls. Same weight.Same mirror.Same sour puss face that looked like he was trying to remember his Wi-Fi password. Meanwhile… The deadlift platform sat empty. A loaded barbell resting there like a cannon nobody had the courage to fire. Do deadlifts actually build muscle? This question was prompted by my buddy and fitness insider Shane over at Muscle and Fitness. Short answer: yes. Long answer: absolutely yes... ...but the...
Quick heads up. I go live at 3pm CST today Wed March 4 at the Future of Coaching Virtual Summit and you can still jump in and watch it for free. My talk is called: “Data-Driven or Delusional: An Evidence and Experience-Based Guide to Wearable Technology.” Because right now a lot of coaches are staring at dashboards like they’re sacred scripture.
