Ninety.Six.Days. That’s how long this meathead—yours truly—has been doing cardio.Not by accident. Not occasionally. Not when the weather was nice.Every darn day. In a row. Like some lunatic on a mission to find his VO2 max soul. The streak started on Feb 8, mid-sunburn in Mexico.Three weeks of tacos, tequila, and Zone 2 sweat.Even with spicy food, trying to evacuate my colon like it owed someone money… Cardio. Got. Done. Then we were yeeted back to the frosty armpit of Minnesota. Did I fold?...

This is the single greatest increase in VO2 max I have ever seen published in a trained population. Ever. I have been obsessed with cardiovascular training research since I first cracked open an anatomy textbook in 1993, when cell phones were bricks and creatine was the new magic powder. Since then, I have: ✅ Performed hundreds of exercise tests in labs and at the Extreme Human Performance Center using metabolic carts. ✅ Worked 12 years for a cardiovascular med tech company, buried in data...

The Question: Is there any difference in training men vs women, and will that be covered in the course? At first, my gut reaction was “nah, not really”—but then, because I refuse to let a stone go unturned, I started digging. And wouldn’t you know it, a new study dropped in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise that might flip this whole thing on its head (1). So buckle up, grab some coffee (or ketones, if you're feeling fancy), and let's get weird as we go hard down the nerd chute. The...

You want better cardio, but time’s tighter than your hamstrings after max-effort sumo pulls.I get it.You crave endurance that doesn’t suck your soul, faster recovery between deadlift death sets, and a heart that doesn’t feel like it’s trying to escape through your ribcage on a flight of stairs.You want horsepower without turning into a frail distance goblin who stores his biceps in a Ziplock bag. Well, saddle up, Broseph Ironblood, because I built this infernal machine for you. The Real...

Let’s talk about the MetCon cult’s favorite excuse for avoiding real cardio. "Can’t I just lift weights faster? My heart rate goes up, so it must be cardio, right?" In short, no Brosefus. No, it is not. This is the same logic that says, “I drank six vodka sodas, therefore I am hydrated.” Just because something sounds logical doesn’t mean it’s physio-logical (shoutout to Dr. Peter Lemon on that quote). Why Lifting Faster Does Not Replace Cardio Let’s break this down before you hyperventilate...

Today, I’ve got something that might just change your life — if you can handle the truth without crying into your protein shake. Hahaha. Let me hit you with some real talk: Want energy that roars through your day like a V12 engine—no crashes, no slumps? Want to recover faster from the gym beatdowns you so lovingly inflict upon yourself? Want to build more muscle, hit more PRs, and still have gas left in the tank for life? Want to burn more fat—without adding another darn minute of stoooopidd...

Welcome to Flexible Meathead Cardio—now fully loaded, completely recorded, and ready to...

One of my M3 1-on-1 clients -Anthony Morro gives it to us straight in his own words about my...
