I will start monthly online programming soon. Mentorship, peace of mind with your program, health/wellness/nutrition expertise, rehab, and just crafting your body and capability how you want it. More to follow, but if you're interested, feel free to DM.

Nope, those would be great assistance exercises because they are compound movements. You could always do some single set rest-pause burnouts with curls or something afterwards. Hope you like it! @70sBig

Also, I met a lot of SOF dudes before I enlisted with @70sBig. Those pre-army friendships led to TONS of joint training with AFSOC PJs. Had one on mission when I was blown up and he helped treat me after my dudes tourniqueted me.
One thing I never see online is how SF coordinates our own training. We didn't have air support for a TDY, and I started cold calling NG units, USMC, Navy, etc. The unit who ended up supporting us was just some 47 pilot I met randomly and kept his number. By, with, and through.

Probiotic foods several times a week have greater improvement compared to fiber in improving gut microbiome (big study came out last year). And reducing inflammatory foods will help.
The American diet is killing some people and making many others crazy. Processed food is seriously messing up people's gut biomes. Go eat "clean" for a couple months and see how sick you get after that when you return to a more "normal" diet.

Check my books out at 70sbig.com/books/ I teach how to program and tinker, I don't just give a one size fits all. Thanks, Tyler!
If you have not read the Texas Method books by @JustinLascek , I highly recommend it. Keep your training simple. It's so easy to let it get overcomplicated.

I'm not particularly active on social media, but if you'd like to support me, one way to do so is buying a @70sBig book I wrote. You get way more in my books than a generic workout template. Other avenues forthcoming. Thanks for the consideration. 70sbig.com/books/

New article titled "On Masculinity". "The clothes you wear, the things you lift, and the deeds you do don’t make you a man. What makes you a man, or a good person, is how you behave and treat people." justinlascek.com/on-masculin…

You can get decently priced saunas for home, or use the one in the gym
Replying to @JustinLascek
Lastly, I had a sauna bath and my heart rate ranged between 130 and 147 in the 23ish minutes (175 degrees F, dry sauna). Sauna in general emulates cardiovascular exercise, and even more so post workout. 15 min of lifting and 15-30 min of sauna is very effective.

If not, you can always go into a truck stop bathroom after lunch.
Arrange your triple set with: -upper body pulling -upper body pressing -lower body exercise In any order you want. A full body session is a greater adaptive stress, regardless of your goal.

On @Gabrus podcast, I talked about a simple triple-set program. Today it was fat bar pull-up, deadlift, and bench. Heart rate at end of the 3 sets was: 157, 169, 174 You can get both lifting and conditioning together, including at home or short on time.

Here's a Green Beret's thoughts on Veteran's Day. I believe my experience with death gives unique insight on life. I'd be grateful if you'd listen to them. youtu.be/xtcx7bflcpc #DOL #VeteransDay #VeteransDay2021 #GreenBeret #specialforces #Veteran

Other than yoga, I think it was band curls at the end of a lifting session
What's the last exercise you did?
