that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression
treatment, but that *just* deadlifts has the
largest effect of *any treatment* for depression.
That's kind of beautiful.

I promise, I'm not skipping leg day.
I lift as occupational therapy. I lift because it makes me feel affirmed in my masculinity. I lift because it helps combat negative mental chatter. I lift because I'm vain. I lift because there's more than one way to get kundalini to rise.
I understand that it's healthy for me to have an outlet for exercise that is seperate from my spiritual practice. Things get weird when I try to do mental gymnastics in order to feel good about my actual gymnastics. Remember: i'm vain. Ican just make exercise exercise and yoga yoga. I think it's a good idea for most, but athletes in particular.
Do you practice yoga and lift weights?

Simple Lats and Legs Circuit:
Go up in weight
Aim for 90 seconds for each round, 11-12 sec per rep.
3 Rounds (1 min between sets)
-Single Arm Reverse Grip Lat Pulldown (r & l)— 8 Eccentrics with 2lb Progression
-8 Suitcase Squats (time under tension) with 2lb progressions
3 Rounds (1 minute rest)
-Single Arm Reverse Grip Lat Pulldown (r & l)— 8 Eccentrics with 2lb regressions
-8 Suitcase Squats (time under tension) with 2lb regressions

Maybe lets launch a little ashtanga early bird barbell club, huh? Hit me up if that sounds fun.

How did i recover after getting hit by a car? Lifting with the @vitruvian trainer.
Adaptive Resistance via the electromagnetic platform is a game changer thats hard to explain but easy to see and feel. The results are, too.
We feature this cutting edge technology at @theyoga.club. Check out my latest article at michaeljoelhall.com/ to learn more about the benefits of adaptive resistance strength training.

I started training on the @vitruvian to help maintain my strength during recovery

My "home gym" for the last 4 years has been in Playa del Carmen. @impetusfitnesss welcome’d me and my family in as a part of their family-- so patient with me as I learn gym Spanish. @jaimescandont is a great coach, and his skills as a coach are just 👨🍳💋-- they're growing faster than my Spanish, too 🙈. Anyway, I just wanted to share a little about what my support system looks like. Gratitude. Global love, y'all.
Mi “gimnasio en casa” durante los últimos 4 años ha estado en Playa del Carmen. @impetusfitnesss nos dio la bienvenida a mí y a mi familia como parte de su familia, muy pacientes conmigo mientras aprendo español de gimnasio. @jaimescandont es un gran entrenador, y sus habilidades como entrenador son simplemente 👨🍳💋; también están creciendo más rápido que mi español 🙈. De todos modos, solo quería compartir un poco sobre cómo es mi sistema de apoyo. Gratitud. Amor global, amigos.
