Heard of the book “Cant Hurt Me” by David Goggins? Its a good book, easy to read & very motivational.

Goggins was a regular guy with a tough childhood that became a special forces operator & eventually retired to become an ultra endurance athlete. One of the best in the world.

However sports people need to remember that there are millions of regular every day people that are just as fit. Goggins has a resting heart rate around 30 BPM. But my old lumberjack buddies when I was a teen did too. Heart rates of 40 BPM were normal from hellish weeks of pruning pine trees by hand. The top guy pruned 180 trees in a day. That’s an insane feat.

They were regular young guys that were as fit as super athletes & special forces. Did it go to there heads? Of course it did. That’s another story. Unfortunately we all had cannabis & alcohol problems back in the day. Many still do.

Anyway when you perform like this for a long time you get injured. You end up a broken man. Very few people ever 30 do that forestry job.

Goggins is injured bad & isn’t 50 yet. His solution – Ultimate Human Performance

This is a stretching & flexibility program from a kinesiologist with the surname Hippensteel. Hippensteel’s brother is an over 60 masters crossfit champion.

I’ve checked the program out & its excellent. Plain language and no BS. The exercises are practical and to the point.

So you need to check it out for yourself.

PS: I guess that for me was the big takeaway from Goggins book coz I too had a rough childhood, hung with some bad ass characters in the day. So for me that part of the book was not so unusual.
