All,
@Hans @tca300 & others who pursue athleticism or fitness might have some valuable insight to the below information & data.
I am someone with an extensive athletic background that found Peat's work 3-4 years ago. Since discovering him, my mental health/capacity have improved substantially. I am not quite as ripped as i used to be (prob 5-7 % more BF) while eating 700 - 1200 more calories. Life's good all things considering. I have no desire to be orthorexic or crazy lean - just want to have a great metabolism and be a well rounded force in this game of life.
I am now ready to regain athleticism from my youth. I used to have a 40" vertical, and ran a sub 4.5 40. Think i am probably at a 34/35" vertical and a 4.7" 40 now. I am 31 years old and about to be a dad but miss having attainable goals that sports provided me. I have all the resources I need to accomplish these goals besides one thing that's potentially in my way. *Additionally, I work 50-55 hrs a week and am professionally driven. This matters because it impacts my ability to workout significantly.
Overall health & ability to handle intense work capacity
Though significantly improved from my deteriorated state from 2012 - 2015 (ripped but low energy), my workouts still can't tolerate elite workouts soup to nuts. I can do the movements, perform them adequately but cannot withstand volume at the rate i would like to without activating stress hormones which also correlates with worse performance.
