- Watch this video that explains how myostatin levels are linked to muscular growth potential (aka how people are genetically predisposed to gaining muscle)
Also, Happy Father’s Day to all those #SwoleDADs out there in the world! Check out this father-son duo smashing iron together and competing for Mr. America title in their respective age classes. This will be me and my son one day.

Saturday (6/1/13) Recovery
- Sweat out that hangover with some steamed foam rolling followed by hot yoga
- Literally douse your foam roller in water and toss it in a microwave (if you can find one big enough to hold it)*
Sunday (6/2/13) Mental Work
- This is one of the most fascinating articles I’ve read in a while. It touches upon the science behind “willpower,” discussing its direct correlation to brain glucose levels.
Also, watch this TED talk about willpower. Note at 7:37, she equates developing your mind to ‘lifting heavy weights.’ Seriously! your mind is another muscle that needs to be worked as well.
