I’m no doctor, just a medical nerd giving unsolicited advice on the internet, but it puts extra strain on your heart to stand still between rounds of squats. It’s much easier (and safer) for our hearts if we keep moving a little bit as long as our heart rates are elevated. Even if you just slowly pace forward and backwards—just something to help your heart slow down without completely stopping all movement. The same goes for when you’re finished your workout routine; it’s good to move slowly until your heart rate is normal, because otherwise it puts extra strain on it. Your 30 squats are very impressive. Too bad 7 more people hadn’t restacked your post…

I usually walk around/dance (LOL), but I needed to keep appearances for the video.

Well done, Sir. I need to follow your lead and try my hand at fasting regularly. Also, I’m a huge fan of creatine. Keep that up man. It’s a great habit and you will keep seeing results!

To answer your questions.

1. I have yet to find a seltzer I actually like. I will gladly receive any recommendations you have.

2. Never tried any broths. I’m interested for all the proposed health benefits but just haven’t done that yet.

3. I have several songs I got to for power.

For Whom The Bell Tolls-Metallica

Rabbit Run -Eminem

Like That - NGHTMRE, Big Giganitic

White Knuckles- Alter Bridge

Get Some- Chevelle

All I Want- A Day To Remember

Any/all of these will get the job done.

Keep it up!

Dang, I listened to all of these, and Rabbit Run hit the hardest. Right now, I have Dua Lipa and Daft Punk on rotation. I tried to row to Earth, Wind, and Fire today, and it was good for like 2 minutes, and then I realized they have some damn slow songs.

Ah…. I see. You’re a man who likes a good groove to workout to. Very cool. You may want to check out Tom Misch. Particularly his Geography album. But skip the slow ones in the gym, obviously.

“Bro, do you even lift?” Thanks for the video evidence

All other brands and flavors are inferior to LeCroix key lime.

I had a ton of success regulating my blood sugar by taking golden thread (supplement with berberine). Love seeing you document your progress!

November update: 233.8

This update: 230.4

Not ideal. Ive been doing omad (or some variation) for most of the month, figured out a workout regimen just before thanksgiving, going to go hard on it in december. Got some little tweaks to make but ive been promising to exercise for a while and this month im gonna finally do it and if next update i make excuses then i need some fitting penance.

Incredible and inspiring work Walther, especially recording yourself making good on those 30 squats. Keep going!!

Yeah buddy! Next thing you know, you're going to buy yourself some kettlebells. They take very little space.
