Welp, sex and exercise it is… win, win!😋

The “if you enjoy it” line is underrated. A session you hate enough to skip next week is worse programming than a slightly easier one you’ll actually repeat.

Cocaine 2.5?

So many possible takeaways here. Which direction to go? 😂

sounds like amphetamines are the move

what about cold showers i feel that is like a cocaine shot

The last line is the whole game. Exercise only lifts dopamine if you enjoy it. Same with healing. I tried protocols I dreaded and they did nothing. The habits that felt like life, not punishment, were the ones that stuck and slowly rebuilt me. Choose the 2x you can live with.

what about coffee? I know it boosts indirectly by blocking adenosine but curious how it stacks up

Addiction happens when someone would rather find a way to teleport to the finish line from the starting block, than to earn their victory and success by enduring the struggle of hard work.

Same guy, on Rogan last week, had a line about peptides better than anything in the clips going around: this is the first time we are bioprospecting from the body. We pulled the two minutes and walked through what it means for anyone holding a vial, which is the part we live in (research peptide company).

Tricky part is that nobody enjoys working out until you make it a habit so enjoyment increases over time.
