Thomas Seyfried and colleagues revisit Otto Warburg's theory that cancer arises from impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), leading to increased reliance on fermentation for energy production.
Seyfried argues that modern evidence supports Warburg's central idea, highlighting that neither oxygen consumption nor lactate production accurately reflect ATP generation in cancer cells, and that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in cancer development.

Functionality and Wall Ball
We see the bulk of human action as being composed of a limited number of irreducible fundamental movements. These fundamental movements we call functional.
"The case for a potent neuroendocrine response associated with many of the exercises that we’ve dubbed functional seems like a fairly straightforward argument. It is known, for instance, that cleans, deads, and squats prompt an inordinately large neuroendocrine response. When you review the list of factors or exercises associated with significant neuroendocrine response, they largely or completely meet our requirements of being fundamental, elemental or irreducible, and universal to sport and life.

Your body changes in fascinating ways during the first 10 minutes of exercise
When you start moving, your heart rate spikes, blood flow changes, and your brain becomes more alert.
"To meet exercise demands, your body reallocates its resources, says Shenkman. Blood flow is diverted away from organs that need less during physical activity—like the intestines—and redirected to your muscles. This shift ensures your skeletal muscles receive the oxygen and glucose they need to keep moving.

The Overhead Lifts
Learning the progression of lifts that moves from the shoulder press to the push press to the push jerk has long been a staple of our regimen.
"This progression offers the opportunity to acquire some essential motor recruitment patterns found in sport and life (functionality) while greatly improving strength in the 'power zone' and upper body. In terms of power zone and functional recruitment patterns, the push press and push jerk have no peer among the other presses like the 'king' of upper body lifts, the bench press.
