Everything Else
Belarusian man beats muscle-up world record with 26 in a row.
American man unofficially beats a world record by running 10 marathons in 10 days, averaging under 3 hours for each.
Another American man trounces them all, finishing the 2,181 mile-long Appalachian Trail in 45.5 days while carrying a 25 pound pack and completely supporting himself (no team following along with food and shelter). For a great film about the previous record holder, watch this.
I wonder if they still say “namaste.”
Things I’m Up to and Interested In
Good advice for those who need it: How Jocko Willink recommends you get yourself to get out of bed when you don’t feel like it.
Finding I found interesting: Psychology’s research replication crisis just got worse.
I’m totally unsurprised: High-fat diet (that’s actually also high-carb and also the fat comes from soybean oil) destroys microbial diversity in the gut. “Move away from high-fat diets,” indeed.
A film project I’m supporting because it’s that important: Diana Rodger’s Sacred Cow, a film (actually, now a docuseries) about meat and environmental sustainability that promises to counter the overwhelming barrage of vegan anti-meat propaganda. We need this.
This is jarring: Gymnastics in the 1950s alongside gymnastics in 2016. Bonus: Banned skills in gymnastics.
