Autumn Rate my poo Boo

As I said. I don't think you appreciate the simple math of how much less work your body has to do once you are fit to function normally. My resting heart rate is in the 40s, when I am just doing regular day-to-day stuff my heart rate doesn't go above 100. You have to sleep at least 6 hours a day on average, no matter how active you are. All of these factors combined mean I would have to spend at least 5 hours a day in moderate to high-intensity exercise just to get back to the same amount of heartbeats per day as an unfit person. I would then have to spend a few more hours exercising like that each day for my heart to start being overused, and yes my body would likely break down before my heart did. As for the high sex drive, it's only 2 minutes here and there each day, so that's not a lot. Also, serious athletes are perfectly aware of this. They know recovery is just as important as work done because it's the combination that leads to improvement. Most athletes start out overworking and learn this the hard way, so I don't agree with this: I'd be curious to see which studies you have read. What was their methodology for selecting subjects? Were they looking at calories consumed among inactive people? Active people? A combination? We want to avoid that pesky linear and unscientific thinking you are so upset about, no?

The heart works harder during exercise, but as you get fitter it becomes a stronger, more efficient system in conjunction with the vascular and respiratory systems. So it ends up working LESS in all the time you are not exercising. There is a point of diminishing returns, where too much exercise leads to premature death, but the average person doesnt have to worry about that... it really is an extreme amount of exercise. For example, lets say you and I start out with the same fitness levels and hearts and we both have 10,000,000 beats left until we die. I start exercising 1 hr a day in which my heart rate increases to 160bpm and you dont. To begin we both have an average heart rate of 65bpm throughout the day. 65bpm x 24hrs = 1560 beats per day But now I am exercising for an hour so my heart is beating more: 65bpm x 23hrs + 160bpm x 1hr = 1655 beats per day I continue for a year, but as I get fitter my average heart rate through the day gets lower because all my vascular systems are more efficient, down to 50 bpm through a day, and I keep exercising for an hour at 160bpm: 50bpm x 23hrs + 160bpm x 1hr = 1310 beats per day Now for the rest of my life my heart is beating 250 times less than yours each day. This is a simplified example, but its how it works. In reality if you worked out for an hour a day at that intensity, you would get much greater benefits. Not just for your heart, but all your systems including your brain, which will be getting a lifetime of improved blood supply etc ... aerobic exercise is one of the best protective factors for age related cognitive decline. So now we're 50, my heart is beating less, my brain is working better and my dick is getting more blood than yours.

Big kahuna smoothie - the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast 1large banana 300mls Almond milk 1 tbsp flax seed 1 tbsp sunflower kernels 1 tbsp chia seed 30gr scoop plant-based protein powder (complete essential AA profile) 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 1 tsp matcha powder 1 tbsp black maca powder 1/2 cup sprouting buckwheat I keep everything needed to make it within 2m of each other, and most things are stored in pop-top glass containers to save time with prep. I can make the whole thing in 2 min. While prepping I will often poach 2 eggs in the microwave and have them as a side dish. (poke yolks with a fork to stop them from exploding)

You could replace 'navy seal' with any other pursuit a person may find personally meaningful. Taking 5-meo-dmt to explore consciousness for example, or 20+gr of shrooms, or doing a 9 day SDS. Or just getting over depression, weight loss, starting a business etc. Please stop being dense, people are going to read that genetics govern their destiny when the truth isn't as straightforward. Genetics are as imaginary as brains and chimpanzees in the end. Show me a chimpanzee that isnt successful. The NBA is often brought up as the prototypical steelman argument for genetic determinism as its the sport most heavily influenced by genetics in the world. Even so, you could aspire to a career or profession on the periphery of the NBA and live passionately. For example, you could become a data scientist and write books about every facet of player selection and greatness, as Seth Stephens-Davidowitz did, or you could become a podcaster who interviews such people, or a coach that revolutionizes teamplay like doc rivers, or you could become a dunkking dunker that leaves shaq speechless. Dont forget, even in the NBA itself there are exceptions. Never say 'never' just be realistic about your chances and then decide if you want to go for it, while keping your mind open to possibilities you can't yet see.

All true, but think of it this way. If you told the average person they had a hole in their heart they wouldn't even attempt to become a Navy Seal or run 100 miles for fear of dying, let alone failing. The true limiting factor in most cases is mindset.

He achieved all that before the surgeries, he couldn't afford them. The military paid for them once he was a seal. I don't think it's a stretch to say that a fucked up heart is a significant handicap when trying to complete some of the most demanding physical training in the world and run 100 miles in under 20 hours, irrespective of whatever other physical advantages he may have. Also, I never said anything that contradicted what you were saying, just the way you express it can skew people's bias away from working harder to achieve their dreams.

He completed Navy Seal training including 3 hell weeks after being rolled back due to fractured patella, shins, and feet with a negative buoyant body composition (basically couldn't swim) after losing 106lbs (48kg) in 3 months to make the weight cutoff (without any special education or guidance) ran 100 miles in under 20 hours with no serious training ran 205 miles with training ... and much, much more with sickle cell trait and an undetected atrial septal defect so large he needed 2 specialized heart surgeries over a 2 year period to fix. He is not at all about the 'alpha' grindset mentality, just mentality. Genetics play a very large role in outcomes, but the magnitude of the effect of mentality is sorely underestimated and overlooked by modern humans who have a large bias against developing discipline and a capacity to endure discomfort. Chalking results up to 'mostly genetics' obfuscates this fact from people and can be a disservice to them if not properly contextualized. No matter how you slice it, Goggins is an inconvenient example of what's possible for a human being to accomplish even with extreme handicaps in life.

Class clown 100 miles in less than a day, Months of work to finish that way, Shaving my head to go faster, Not for the look, but to master The art of letting go, to be free, From the weight of suffering, I see A path clear, with mind so light, My spirit ready for the fight.
