People are losing their minds over one thing… the binder.

Here’s the reality: I followed the directions on the bottle. For my body weight, that came out to roughly 4,000 mg of fenbendazole.

I feel great.

I know all about the binder conversation. I just didn’t deem it necessary. I don’t see routine deworming in animals coming with activated charcoal, so I kept it simple.

If you’re in the binder camp, that’s your decision. Just don’t take activated charcoal at the same time as the fenbendazole since it can reduce the absorption of many drugs and other substances.

This wasn’t some long-term protocol. It was a routine deworming dose, similar to the preventive schedules listed on the veterinary product label. Different situations call for different treatment protocols.

I’m not telling anyone what to do. I’m simply telling you exactly what I did.

If you train consistently—and I mean actually consistently—you have to know when to back off.

Every 16 weeks, I take one full week away from the heavy, intense work. No heavy kettlebells. No grinding. No trying to prove anything.

I still do my morning routine, push-ups, mobility, and basic maintenance—but the serious training stops.

That week gives your muscles, joints, nervous system, and motivation a chance to recover. Then you come back hungry instead of burned out.

Rest isn’t weakness. It’s part of the system.

Most people never think about parasites until they become a problem.

When talent scouts go into the favelas in Brazil looking for young soccer players, one story that’s often repeated is that the first things they do are deworm the kids and get them dental care before focusing on performance.

Today I picked up Fenbendazole at the farm store and took the equivalent dose for a 175-pound dog.

Whether you’re optimizing your training, nutrition, or recovery, don’t ignore the basics. Sometimes performance starts with fixing what you can’t see.

Your water is only as clean as the filter you put in it.

I made the mistake of typing in the exact model number for my countertop reverse osmosis system on Amazon. Instead of the real replacement filters, Amazon pushed a sponsored knockoff.

The result?

The water had a chemical taste, it wasn’t even crystal clear, and I wasn’t about to keep drinking it.

Even when I tried to find the manufacturer’s actual Amazon store, the sponsored listing was still pushed to the top.

Remember: Amazon’s job is to sell ads. Your job is to make sure you’re buying the genuine filter—especially when it’s something you drink every day.

Don’t assume the first result is the right one. Verify the seller. Verify the brand. Your health is worth the extra minute.

Most people fail because they try to do everything.

If you’re starting from scratch, keep it simple.

✅ Start with the two-handed kettlebell swing.
✅ Build the pattern.
✅ Increase your conditioning.
✅ Progress to the one-handed swing when you’re ready.

One movement can train:

Explosive power
Hips and glutes
Legs
Core
Grip strength
Lower back
Cardio
Coordination
Work capacity

Consistency beats complexity.

Stop trying to be a hero.

I don’t force myself to stay in the cold plunge longer than I’m ready for.

I don’t destroy myself in the gym.

I don’t chase failure every workout.

I add a little more time.
A little more weight.
A few more reps.

That’s it.

Small improvements, repeated for months, beat one week of “all in” every single time.

Consistency builds the body.
Ego destroys it.

Progress doesn’t have to be dramatic. It has to be sustainable.
