The pH system of your body, which is the second system of Physiologic Flexibility, can be acutely stressed by . . . 1) Breathing When you hyperventilate (fast, rapid breathing), you are blowing off (exhaling) more carbon dioxide. Less CO2 = more alkaline pH temporarily. The reverse happens when you hold your breath. Your metabolism

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hola from S Padre TX where the wind has been stupid light so I have been doing my AM routine, lifting, and cranking on work. We did get out today and did a downwinder from the end of the island, although the wind kept getting lighter and lighter. The waves were not monsters, but over
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Don your helmets, take your creatine and CBD as we are headed straight down the nerd chute hard about the concept of homeostasis - how to be a more badass human that can handle all sorts of stressors, train harder, recovery faster, and improve your health in the process. I've hinted at what may happen
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Recently, I have been yammering away about how to increase your ability to recover and be a more robust, bad ass human. I don’t need to point out the massive stress everyone is under right now. While there is only so much that can be done about it, you can control how you train your
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Speaking of temp regulation being one of the systems to target for better recovery and to be a more robust human. . . Cold is one way to do it. You don’t have to get bat-sheeet crazy like your fav nerd here, and convert a perfectly good / new freezer into your own private
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Yesterday, I went off on a nerdy diatribe about how to build your own BSRD aka BS Recovery Detector to shift through all the crap in the fitness world that is promoted to help you recover faster and be more robust. One key point was to watch out for the quoting of only animal data
In my last article, I talked about the intrinsic process of homeostasis - the ability of your body to hold a specific parameter of physiology within a tight range - despite being exposed to a wide variety of stimulus. The example I used was core body temperature staying very close to 98.6F even when subjected
I am back again yammering about how to employ a flexible approach to be a more robust human that can train harder, recover faster, and do it while enhancing your health. The key linchpin concept for the next level is based on the idea of "adaptive homeostasis." Whoa! there, Dr Nerd. Those are some uber
It snowed in Minnesota the day right after the wonderful wifey arrived in S Padre TX, where it was a sunny 88F today. Since there was some wind, I opted yesterday to go kiteboarding in the afternoon. Unfortunately, it did not go as planned. I got my big 17M kite pumped up, launched, and started
