Anger feels powerful, but it’s usually expensive. In this episode, we break down why rage pulls people in the wrong direction, how “comment anger” and road rage sneak into everyday life, and why staying at baseline is a real skill you can train.We talk about how anger becomes a habit, how it quietly eats away at your focus and relationships, and why trying to reason with irrational behavior often makes things worse instead of better. We also explore equanimity, the idea of staying at baseline, and why real strength isn’t about domination or reaction, but about control.If you’ve ever wanted to throw your phone into the ocean, explode over a small inconvenience, or get pulled into internet arguments, this is a reminder that you always have a choice. You can react, or you can respond.Calm isn’t weakness. It’s power.Subscribe for more on strength, mindset, and building a sharper life.

What if you treated your body like a high performance vehicle… and actually ran a function check before things break?In this episode, Rob Wilson (author of Check Engine Light) breaks down how movement quality, strength, conditioning, and recovery actually fit together, especially for athletes who train hard and want to stay in the game. We get into yoga (the real version 😅), why “perfect symmetry” is a myth, how to use simple daily movement as a monitoring system, and why the truth in training is usually found in the messy middle: context + nuance.Special perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK/TRT/PEPTIDES! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com and use code "POWERPROJECT" for 10% off Self-Service Labs and Guided Optimization®.🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!➢ https://withinyoubrand.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off supplements!➢ https://markbellslingshot.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off all gear and apparel!

Most people train in two lanes: cardio machines and lifting weights. In this episode, we zoom out and talk about the “full adult athlete”, the overlooked skills that keep you capable, coordinated, and feeling young.We get into:1. Why you don’t need a perfect program once you’ve trained long enough2. “Capacities” beyond force production: coordination, reflexes, balance, finesse, and control3. Jump rope and hopping for tendon strength, rhythm, and athletic bounce4. Rope flow, juggling, and micro-dosing skill work without living in the gym5. Nasal breathing, weighted vest walks, and making brutal conditioning more productive6. How to stop feeling worse as you get older: expand your movement “scope” and keep exploringIf you’re training for life, not just the bench, this one’s for you.Special perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK/TRT/PEPTIDES! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com and use code "POWERPROJECT" for 10% off Self-Service Labs and Guided Optimization®.🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!➢ https://withinyoubrand.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off supplements!➢ https://markbellslingshot.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off all gear and apparel!

In this episode, Rob Wilson breaks down how breathing, stress, and performance are actually connected and why breathwork isn’t a shortcut around hard work, but a way to make hard work more sustainable.We talk about CO₂ tolerance, why panic is usually carbon dioxide and not lack of oxygen, and how high-performing athletes, fighters, and military operators can recover faster between efforts by changing how they breathe under stress.Rob explains why breathwork isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, why capacity still matters, and how coaches should adapt tools to the culture, goals, and environment of the people they’re working with. We also get into nasal breathing, heart rate recovery, conditioning mistakes, jiu-jitsu, sandbags, valsalva vs breathing with load, and how intensity can sometimes be used to hide psychology.Along the way, things take a turn into AI books, Morning Glory Milking Farm, and how to “sound less fat” when you’re out of shape.This episode is about making hard things easier without avoiding hard things.Follow Rob:https://www.instagram.com/thecheckenginelight/https://www.wilsonhealthandperformance.com/CHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro00:52 - Morning Glory Milking Farm05:48 - Breath Work for Different Populations13:02 - Benefits of Nasal Breathing16:08 - Nasal Breathing Techniques18:30 - Breathing as a Superpower25:28 - CO2 Tolerance in Breathing26:18 - Efficient Breathing Strategies27:47 - Managing Breathing Costs and Reserves31:07 - Body pH Regulation and Breathing38:34 - Methylene Blue Overview43:25 - Importance of Diaphragmatic Breathing52:39 - Free Diving Techniques1:00:00 - Effects of Nasal Breathing1:02:49 - Breathing and Weightlifting1:04:10 - Breathing and Force Production1:11:24 - Good Life Proteins: Quality Meat1:17:00 - Tips to Sound Less Fat1:22:34 - Understanding 1+11:25:30 - Inspiratory Muscle Trainers Discussion1:29:56 - Where to Find BrianSpecial perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK Done! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com/PowerProject to receive 10% off our Panel, Check Up Panel or any custom panel, and use code POWERPROJECT for 10% off any lab!🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!
