What’s actually in the bonus stack (and why each one exists)
|
Hola from sunny South Padre Island and the wind forecast is looking like it might actually cooperate today. Before I hit the water, one thing worth understanding about why this system matters for lifters specifically as I know don't want to a cardio bunny. The big thing that improves with a better aerobic / cardiovascular system is that the rest time between sets — and your ability to come back ready the next training day — is dramatically better A bigger aerobic engine means faster recovery between sets, more high quality work per session, and the ability to actually absorb the training you're doing instead of just surviving it. That is what FMC Level 1 builds. Here is what the system produces. Rena Smith went from VO₂ max 50 to 59 ml/kg/min in four months — and felt the recovery improvements before the number on the test even moved. Bryan Boorstein surpassed his competitive CrossFit peak on a rower after running the progression model. Dylan Fowler improved HRV, resting heart rate, and VO₂ max using the Escalating 6 — six minutes a day. Lydia Barratt's client shaved two minutes off her rowing time. Mark Rogers watched his heart rate drop at the same workloads while work capacity went up and strength stayed intact. None these are pure endurance athletes. They are all lifters and coaches who fixed the real limiter and watched everything else respond. Go to the link below for all the details. Bonuses gone tomorrow -Wed- at midnight PST.

Hola from the road to South Padre Island, where all goes well. I'll hit the island tonight. The wind forecast is promising, so I'm choosing to believe it, and Jodie flies in tomorrow. A reminder that at midnight this Wed, the three bonuses on Flexible Meathead Cardio Level 1 disappear. I have been mentioning these all week without really breaking down what each one actually is. 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. I've spent decades, literally, reading research and looking for the largest increase in aerobic performance in trained subjects - not just untrained nooobes who wander the purple halls of PF. And for 6 years now, this study is still the single greatest VO₂ max increase I have ever seen...
