- I've been told by experts that the health & fitness goals I had were "unrealistic" for an out-of-shape, 278-pound 51-year-old. Now at 58, I'm training for the 2023 LA Marathon & working toward a 320-pound bench press. Don't let anyone stifle your dreams.
- When I was 278 pounds, no one EVER told me my eating habits were killing me... Now, at 200 pounds, I get that all the time... 🤷♂️ Thanks so much for your ‘concern’.
- Humbling. No other way to describe my first day training for The Kettlebell Mile. I started slow, but I’m committed to working up to a full mile “run” with this thing. Some folks are criticizing @hubermanlab for “promoting” a reckless & dangerous challenge like this after his

- This is 61. At 51, I couldn’t do a single one of these.
