Ben Greenfield taught the world to live better. And nearly lost everything worth living for.
Boundless: The Man Who Became Human follows Ben Greenfield through the collapse of a certainty he built an entire career on. For twenty years, his life was the proof. He was optimized in every direction, which only a select few could reach. This is the story of what happened just outside that reach, filmed with access that wellness media has never been given before. What it uncovers has nothing to do with biohacking.
A film by @calebapplegate. From executive producer @ZacEfron.
One night only, in select cities. World premiere. A live podcast recording. An open Q&A with Ben and his family.

Body weight works! Pushups, pullups, body weight squats, lunges, etc… even if you don't have heavy weight. Example: In this new study, participants did lower-body resistance exercise with a lighter load (about 20–36 repetitions per set) or a heavier load (about 3–12 repetitions per set), 2 to 4 times a week, for 6 to 12 weeks. Sets were performed close to or to failure… (1/2)
…and one load wasn't clearly better than the other for increasing the size of type 1 or type 2 fibers: frontiersin.org/journals/phy… (2/2)
This new performance under pressure, masterclass by @MarkDivine looks super solid…masterclass.com/classes/perf…

Just watched the "Boundless" documentary featuring @bengreenfield and directed by @ZacEfron on @PrimeVideo. I've been following Ben and all the extraordinary and wild things he has done since 2017. I like his idea of longevity and that he is not bullish about living til 200 years old. His biohacking idealogy would be the same as mine...."living a full, capable life".
Thanks Ben and Zac for putting together this cool documentary.

Essential amino acids (EAA) supplementation may help prevent muscle wasting after orthopedic surgery - the EAA supplementation dose (3.4-20 g), frequency (daily to 3 times per day), and duration (14-49 days) vary widely across studies: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3980… (I currently take 20g/day of this, in powder form: getkion.com/collections/bens…)

Although not without risk, adding heat stress to resistance exercise has historically been believed to be counterproductive as the additional thermal strain could induce excessive physiologic strain hindering training quality and the overall adaptive impulse… (1/5)
Heating the muscles may also improve recovery by increasing tissue blood flow and enhancing nutrient delivery, subsequently promoting anabolic signaling… (4/5)

“We spend time chasing money, then spend money chasing time.
Most of what you want when you finally have money is cheap: a slow morning, a walk with no destination, a day without meetings.
Real wealth is time.”
