Hey Markus, I have been listening to Mike's old interviews recently, including this video where he comments on sex. https://youtu.be/hsWdjSpGqIg?si=9Bm18VutXdPlOQp- Some of what Mike is describing here resonates with seed retention. Did Mike discuss retention specifically with you? I'm interested to know if any of you blokes have gone long distance with seed retention, and what your experiences have been. The longest I've gone is 2 months and I definitely noticed changes - thinking clearer, more energy, better interpersonal relationships. I started abstaining again 2 weeks ago, aiming for 100 days. Also if anyone knows which interview these comments were made in let me know, would like to listen to the full interview. Cheers!

I am trying to figure out what this guy was doing ? Please comment below guys and let me know if you got any 💡

I’ve been working with something lately that’s simple, but it changes the entire feel of a set. I call them Reset Reps. Instead of running reps straight through, each rep stands on its own. One clean rep, controlled on the way down, then a brief one or two second pause to reset before the next rep. No rhythm, no bouncing, no riding momentum from one rep into the next. What this does is expose everything. When you run reps continuously, things always start clean. Then fatigue builds, positioning shifts, and little breakdowns creep in. Most people don’t notice it, but that’s exactly where tension gets lost and joints start taking more of the load. With Reset Reps, you don’t get to hide inside the set. Every rep has to be re-established. You have to re-stabilize, re-focus, and actually control the movement before you go again. Each rep starts from zero, which forces a level of precision most people never train with. I started using this on chest press, but this isn’t about one exercise. You can apply this to almost anything—presses, pulls, legs, even isolation work. The value is in the execution, not the movement itself. It’s also something to think about if joints start feeling off or if you notice your reps getting loose as the set goes on. This isn’t about training around injuries or ignoring pain, but it is a way to clean things up and remove the sloppy transitions that usually make problems worse over time. At the end of the day, most people are stacking reps. Here, you’re executing reps. Try it and see how it changes your training. If you want to take things further and run more advanced high-intensity systems, that’s exactly what I laid out in the HIT Warrior Guide. It’s not about tricks—it’s about structured, serious training for people who actually want results. 👉 https://pay.highintensitycoach.com/hitwar39 MARKUS REINHARDT Where Reason meets Intensity

My go-to right now is Black Rifle Coffee – Beyond Black. Strong as hell. No nonsense. I run two cups before cardio, then a couple more while I’m working, updating the sites and Heavy Duty Nation. And yeah… always black. That’s how it should be done. Quick reality check… Coffee isn’t hurting you if you use it right. It actually helps. Caffeine wakes up your nervous system, cuts fatigue, and sharpens focus. That’s why you feel locked in after a cup. It also bumps adrenaline a bit, which helps your body tap into stored fat easier. No, it’s not magic fat loss… but it absolutely supports the process. On top of that, coffee’s loaded with antioxidants. Real benefits there if you’re not abusing it. Key word: moderation. You don’t need 10 cups. You need a few at the right time, for a reason. Pre-cardio. Pre-work. Stay sharp. Black coffee. Get it done. And if you’re dumping sugar and cream in it… we gotta talk 😏 Markus
