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

Let me fix that. Bonus 1 — SS-31 Peptide/ Elamipretide Technical PDF This one is for the people who are not...

Hola from Austin as I am about to head out to do a podcast with my buddy Tex all about creatine, but before I head out I wanted to answer a question I got this week “Ok I get that I need to build the aerobic engine. 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.

And for 6 years now, this study is still the single greatest VO₂ max increase I have ever seen...
