No one slugs where I am now because we all have kids that also have to be shuttled around by parents. I grew up using school buses most of the time. These days, at least where I live, those don't exist. We've had to rearrange ou

I know 2 competitive athletes (both MMA) who experimented with it. Both came off of it within ~6 weeks because of complications, mostly related to mood (they got very, very temperamental on it). The athletes in my sphere know about it but a

AB84 streamed it live from a box at the arena to ~5M viewers on Twitter. I was watching it on Netflix, I didn't have any problems, but I also put his live stream up for the hell of it. He didn't have any issues that I saw.

A lot. Mostly zone 2 running but also quite a bit of hill work and some rucking. An occasional mountain bike ride if/when friends ask and I can make it work. Some swimming in the summer. And I walk a lot, like 15k steps daily on top of

My favorite piece of training equipment by far. I've spent 6-month training blocks with nothing but my gymnastics rings, a 24kg kettlebell and a 32kg kettlebell. At this point I honestly only ever go back to barbell training because I

I don't see how any deeply honest, earnest feedback can come from me when I am told "this is anonymous" and there's a 99.999999% chance that it isn't. If it came from a position of mutual respect then maybe I'd

We get supposed "anonymous" surveys where I work and I see the hash at the end of the URL, and we've confirmed amongst a few of us that they're unique, and so the assumption goes that it's actually not anonymous at

Yeah, I would just instinctively make something up. Maybe everyone else does that, too, how would any of us know? I really don't like this trend of employers trying to act like we're all friends or one big happy family. It only se

No probably about it. The schools are (were? I'm seeing a lot of school districts near me banning phones) trying to reduce friction with (troublesome) parents who demanded 24/7 direct communication and surveillance.
