Time flies as we are headed out of here on Monday to start the trek home with a short stop in Reston, VA, for myself coming up this Wed-Sat. This week, I had a few crazy sales that are still going on through Monday night on MASS, Qualia and even the Soltec sleep device. Here is what went down this week: Newsletters:

Instagram post of the week: Gym Tune of the Week: Forever Aligned Wow, new stuff from KSE gives me metal goosebumps. I’ve been a huge fan of these guys all the way back to their first album in 2000. Their live shows are always amazing. The last time I saw them, Adam D came out and said, “Wow, Minneapolis, this is an amazing new venue and we are here to take a huge sonic shit on it” Hahaha.

Quick question: can you really only absorb 30 grams of protein at once? The honest answer is... it depends on who's asking. In this week's episode, I sat down with Daniel A. Traylor, Ph.D. — co-founder and principal scientist of LEUVATE™ — to dig into the protein quality and amino acid science that most people (including most coaches) completely miss. Dan's research focuses on how leucine and essential amino acids (EAAs) signal muscle protein synthesis — and why older adults may need twice...
A brand spanking new review just published days ago by Jang, J. et al says EAAs may “bypass” the cardio / lifting interference effect. Is this a mouse trap or meathead magic? Strap in, you beautiful iron-slinging mitochondria hoarder as we break this down. A peer-reviewed review dropped in Nutrients this June, and buried inside the usual academic furniture was a sentence spicy enough to make the supplement aisle start levitating. One sentence basically walked into the strength-and-cardio cage...
