Impossible. Food?

G-morning and go blue 〽️

Here's your daily dose of Andrew's Apples, a small white bag of four fresh *fruits* to nourish your soul and make you feel great. All in under 2 minutes. Let's go picking. 

1. 😅 Two-a-days plays. Any former high school athlete remembers practicing twice in one day, and wanted to kill himself. Turns out there's something to the fearsome two-a-days: it's a hack to make the fastest gains in strength and mass for a given muscle group. Do low reps/higher sets/fast tempo sets in AM, and higher reps/slower tempo in the evening; this accounts for hormone level fluctuations throughout the day and optimizing sleep. Warning - after a two-a-day, you'll end up sleeping like a high school punk too: pools of drool, eyes rolled to back of head, snoring like a brute.

2. 👨‍⚕️ Go follow Dr. Huberman. Links here and here. His first name is Andrew so you know he's straight MONEY!! Kind of having his Jon Hamm moment (a 40-something late bloomer in his field) and fitness freaks are rightly eating him up. Godspeed, Doc!

3. 🦵 Squat ass-to-grass. The squat, above all other major lifts, is the Mothership. Optimal squat form here. When you do squats: bring your ass to the "grass", meaning lower your hips down as far as possible, traveling well below the parallel plane of your knees. Great for maximizing power output, leg strength, lower back stability (sit much?), flexibility, spine safety, and knee health. As otherwise active gymgoers age, for some reason they seem to stop squatting first, as if it's something reserved for a college weight room filled with stimmed-up heathens. False. Dads too need to pop a squat.

4. 🧪 Impossible. Food? I admittedly get a little squirrely when I hear anything about Impossible Foods (or their cowboy counterpart Beyond Meat), both makers of plant-based "meat." Opponents might use the term "fake meat". Got to love democracy! On one hand, industrial ag has grown out of control and you see it in pollution, deforestation, carbon emissions, and the godless raping of our soil. On the other hand, promoting chemistry-lab food as the cure-all to the health of both people and planet makes me tear up from lol'ing. Per usual, the answer lies someplace in between: sustainable, regenerative, chemical-free farming practices. An invisible sage says: follow the money. And when I do just that, I end up at Bill Gates, horny venture-capital type$, and "expert panelists" tied to Big Tobacco. If that does not make your head tilt, I can't help you, comrade.

How do you like them Apples? Suggestions? If you ever need anything, hit reply.
