"I have to let my unconscious brain do the work because it reacts a lot quicker." 🧠
Devin Cooley chats with @BParkerTV about the psychology behind his unreal performance vs. the Canes.
My favorite way to relax at night/unwind is to pick up my electric guitar, unplugged, and just play a bit. No screens, quiet, present.
I'm curious if I can measure the impact of my proper morning meditation (vs the days I don't). The days I do (15mins+, start of the day) I just feel more spacious. Like thinking is easier and reacting is slower.
It would be amazing to have the traditional 5 HR Zones Analysis on @googlehealth , plus the ability to choose which formula to use (Karvonen, etc). The fact that the default is a weird 4Zone formula is a clear downside of the app at the moment 😉

Can your wearable predict when you’ll die?
Months before a 76-year-old man suffered sudden cardiac death after a Peloton workout, two independent wearables began recording a wild change in his physiology.
Over a 4–6 month window:
- Daytime and overnight HRV fell ~50–65%
- Resting and overnight HR rose by 3–5 bpm
- Deep sleep fell >50%, from 39 to 18 min
Several metrics remained abnormal until the day he died.
The authors call it a “coordinated step-change,” and it’s evidence as to why departures from your own long-term baseline may be far more informative than any single daily readiness score.
I have been wearing the Fitbit Air for a month now. My main takeaways:
- wearing it with a comfortable bicep band is a game changer, you completely forget you are wearing it (plus it doesn't show)
- sleep tracking is ok - def not representative of all the baby awakenings
🧵
Would I buy it now? Yes, the main upgrade is definitely the comfort. Look at this beautiful watch I now get to wear.
I spent a lot of time deciding between the @AmazfitGlobal HelioStrap and the @googlehealth Fitbit Air.
In the end, what prevailed was the consensus that the sleep stage tracking is better on the Fitbit Air (plus being a bit smaller)

If I had to choose 5 risk factors/ biomarkers that *everyone* should know, blood pressure would be 3 of them.
Today I made it. Front Squat, DB Hang Clean Squat, DB Step Up, Push Ups. And HR Up, Energy up, Mood up
