Fun Fact: In early July 2023, Canada’s Corey Bellemore won the gold at the Beer Mile World Classic in Chicago. The event is running a mile while slamming four beers. His time was an impressive 4:30.8.
A four-minute mile used to be considered an unattainable goal until Roger Bannister broke through in 1954 at the age of 25. Now people are nearly hitting four minutes while chugging brews. Have we simply evolved into an alcohol-tolerant super-species? Nah…
It simply demonstrates the incredible power of the mind. Once Bannister broke the 4-minute-mile barrier, runners began doing it consistently. Why? Because after Bannister did it, their minds told them it was possible after all.
If you’re old (like me), have crummy bodybuilding genetics (like me), or don’t want to train for hours on end (like me), you can still build a tremendous physique. Not kidding. Just believe to achieve…
At age 64, I’m weight training three times a week with 40-minute workouts. Those quick, efficient sessions are based on the ideal exercises and STX (slow-twitch exhaustion), with results that would’ve shocked even my 30-year-old self.
I’ve programmed myself to believe I can still do it without any pharmaceutical help because I’ve figured out one of the best way to train for muscle—which includes STX on the ideal exercises, Speed Sets, stretch loading, and minimal time in the gym for maximum recovery…
Of course, I’m still experimenting; however, the ideal exercises and STX remain constants—those work without question. Intensity and recovery are the variables I manipulate most now.
No pain, no gain? Better: More brains, new gains.
