Listen up, you PR-chasing adrenaline junkies: even if you’re blasting metal and smashing weights like a berserker in Valhalla, your aerobic system might still be holding you back. That’s right—your ticker and lungs, the unsung heroes of cellular energy, could be the weak link in your quest for gym glory. I've yacked non-stop about this via the Flexible Meathead Cardio course, but it bear repeating as I see this time and time again. Here’s the deal: your aerobic system is responsible for cranking out ATP—the cellular currency that fuels every rep, every set, and every glorious PR. No more whipping that complacent squirrel on a roller skate; it’s time to upgrade your aerobic system and unleash your full potential. The Burning Question: How Do You Do It?Endless cardio marathons? Back-to-back 10K runs? Hell no! There’s a smarter, sharper way to supercharge your aerobic engine without turning into a lycra-clad hamster on a wheel. Enter the Bonus Blitz:Because I’m feeling particularly unhinged (and generous), I’m throwing down the gauntlet via these 5 insane bonus items to the Flex Diet Cert (FDC) for anyone who enrolls by Monday at midnight PST: · My private email for your burning questions ($250 value) — Free! · 4-Hour Roundtable on Aerobic Training ($120 value) — Free! · "Sleep vs. Caffeine — How to Make Friends with Both" (1-hour video) — Included! · "Aerobic Training for Meatheads" (1-hour video) — Included! · The Full 6-Month, 4-Phased Aerobic Protocol for Lifters — Free!

What People Are Saying:Here’s what Ashley Knotts, Nutritional Therapist, had to say about the Flex Diet Cert: "The Flex Diet Cert is by far my favorite course I've ever taken. I've done others, like the Nutritional Therapy Association and NASM for personal training, but I love the way Dr. Nelson combines performance with nutrition and breaks it down into concepts I can comprehend and apply for my clients. It was especially helpful when I started transitioning into CrossFit. While I knew the foundations of nutrition, I didn’t know much about athletic performance nutrition. He helped me bridge that gap, making me better at my own training and more effective for my clients. Dr. Nelson is hilarious, super smart, and trustworthy. If you're on the fence, don’t be. It’s a solid course, and you’re going to get a ton of value out of it." - Ashley Knotts, Nutritional Therapist The clock is ticking.
