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. Amazing dudes, to boot.

Stoked for the entire album and amazing tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul. It kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine.

Love,
Dr Mike

What up you savage? I wanted to take a slight round-a-bout from our technical breakdown to answer a bunch of questions that came in about the Phys Flex Cert… ..and to remind you that the Fast Action Bonus of your 1 hour private call (a legit $250 value) with your truly nerdy here closes tonight, Wed April 22 at midnight PST. Story time as just today a coach named Chris emailed me some solid questions. Then another coach emailed me. Then another one. By the third round, I realized I was...

The fitness internet has the attention span of a caffeinated squirrel with a crypto account full of DOGE coin. A study drops with a huge number and some IG GooRoo between ab shotz and posing in front of his rented fancy car rips that number out of context, sprays it across social media like cheap cologne in a strip mall bathroom, and suddenly every shirtless man with a ring light is telling you the sauna is basically anabolic sorcery. Then the supplement companies arrive followed fast by the...
