The Aerobic Apocalypse is Upon You!


When I was deep in the jungles of Mexico this past February—dodging power outages, wrestling iguanas, and mainlining espresso shots—I stumbled across a recovery secret hidden in the cenotes, those prehistoric sinkholes filled with magic water colder than a tax audit…

...But since your average suburb isn't exactly crawling with cenotes, I’ve wrangled something even better for you savage beasts of iron.

Welcome to Flexible Meathead Cardio—now fully loaded, completely recorded, and ready to instantly infiltrate your digital cortex.

No waiting, no whining, just immediate access to science-backed aerobic insanity that’ll have your mitochondria humming like a supercharged Harley at full throttle.

If you’re stuck at the same lifts, still gassing out, and wondering why your strength gainz stalled worse than a rusty '72 Pinto—I've got news for you.

It ain't your protein, your sleep, or your supplements. It’s your pathetic aerobic engine.

Welcome to the carnage of Flexible Meathead Cardio—a fully loaded, instantly accessible course to turn your limp aerobic system into a roaring beast of iron-fueled endurance.

Here's the deal:

  • Instant access to 100% recorded lessons over 5 modules – each module clocking in at 90 -120 minutes, where we leave no stone unturned
  • Complete protocols, including some that are only a few minutes a day
  • Expert bonus interviews from:
    • Dr. Kenneth Jay, The Mad Scientist of Rowing, on turning rowing into anabolic rocket fuel.
    • Dr. Phil Batterson, the VO2 Max Whisperer himself, on the fastest way to spike your aerobic ceiling.
    • Anthony Castore, the peptide guru, spilling the beans on peptides that skyrocket aerobic capacity for your pet rat (since these are research chemicals)

Got questions? I've got answers—unlimited email access to yours truly.

Enrollment closes this Monday at midnight PST.

All aboard the gainZ train below.

While there are many ways that work, here is the exact system I use for my one-on-one M3 clients, which has served me well for over a decade now. I teach this system in the FMC.

Ninety.Six.Days. That’s how long this meathead—yours truly—has been doing cardio.Not by accident. Not occasionally. Not when the weather was nice.Every darn day. In a row. Like some lunatic on a mission to find his VO2 max soul. The streak started on Feb 8, mid-sunburn in Mexico.Three weeks of tacos, tequila, and Zone 2 sweat.Even with spicy food, trying to evacuate my colon like it owed someone money… Cardio. Got. Done. Then we were yeeted back to the frosty armpit of Minnesota. Did I fold?...

This is the single greatest increase in VO2 max I have ever seen published in a trained population. Ever. I have been obsessed with cardiovascular training research since I first cracked open an anatomy textbook in 1993, when cell phones were bricks and creatine was the new magic powder. Since then, I have: ✅ Performed hundreds of exercise tests in labs and at the Extreme Human Performance Center using metabolic carts. ✅ Worked 12 years for a cardiovascular med tech company, buried in data...
