When you're using force, your body is like a car that's always accelerating. You're using excess caffeine, training too hard, and not recovering well. You're relying on stress hormones to get things done, and that can lead to quick results, but it also comes with a cost. On the other hand, pull energy is like a car that's running smooth

Cardiolipin’s job is to hold everything in place. It keeps the energy-producing proteins organized, maintains the physical structure of the membrane, and supports the courier proteins that shuttle electrons through the process. When cardiolipin gets damaged by excess free radicals, the whole system starts to fall apart. The pr

Biologically this makes sense — the body doesn’t want to be building expensive new muscle tissue when it thinks it’s in an energy-deficient state.
