Love this Q and A format. A note on the sled push/drag: I live in Austin, TX and there is a gym here called Atomic Athlete (https://atomic-athlete.com/) that certainly incorporates sled pushes and drags in their programming, but they also lean HEAVILY on tire drags. By getting an old tire, loading it up with a sandbag or weight plates, you can have the effectiveness of the sled drag without spending much money.

I always appreciate your takes on these things Michael! I feel like the optimization craze led me to develop some fairly unhealthy habits and some anxiety when things weren't perfectly "optimized" (whatever that means). Having a more intuitive and flexible approach while still greatly respecting the research has not only made me feel much healthier, but also has made life a lot more enjoyable.
