This video is not about .

But it does still bug me. In his rant, this guy even asked how I would feel if he wanted to give me feedback on my bicep curl, which I said if he had feedback I was all ears...

Most people aren't that resistant to feedback, especially when it's free.

Anyway, enjoy this video on a few key points of the push press.

Replying to [from the other place] the average vegan diet is healthier than the average diet, measured by either all-cause mortality or health span. and with just a little bit of thought, it can become one of the healthiest diets we know of. and yet this perception that it is unhealthy and produces weak people is holding a lot of people back from exploring it properly.

vegan food isn't magical. but being just a little sensible with plant based swaps or an entire vegan-friendly diet can reduce your calories for the same amount of food, more fibre and being fuller for longer.

this is calorie density. the same sized plate of food, fewer calories. and, on average, a vegan diet achieved this.

the research paper is here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2852520

in the vegan options, there were on average 30% fewer calories in the same weight of food.

going self employed as a fitness trainer kind of feels like an inevitable decision given that the economy has betrayed me over and over.

inefficient training can be nearly as bad as not training at all. I have been in the gym for 20 years, but so much of that was wasted on bad training.

(and then reset by illness and long absences -- but that's another story.)

save yourself years of chasing discomfort instead of results, of putting in a lot of work to just stand still... get a coach.

I completely forgot about that photo. I still don't really know how to fit it into my memory of myself — I'm still very sure that I was a fat kid.

I hated PE. Actively dreaded it — which is a strange thing to admit now, as a CrossFit coach and online fitness coach.

I was told regularly that things would be easier if I was ten pounds lighter. Whatever pounds are — we use stone over here.

Turns out that was just the voice of people who didn't wish me well.

Have you ever found a photo of yourself that just didn't feel like you?

it can be so difficult to start once you're already suffering symptoms.

since my mid 20s, I've been told the next age milestone will mean chronic pain and I won't be able to do this stuff.

but they keep rolling by, and I'm getting better and better at it.

and the thing is, the research backs me up here: physical activity wards off the effects of aging.
motion is lotion.
