Everyone knows caffeine is the go-to when you’re running on fumes…But what if your secret weapon against brain fog isn’t coffee — it’s creatine? A new study dropped in Nature’s Scientific Reports tested a massive single dose of creatine (0.35 g/kg) during 21 hours of sleep deprivation.The results? 🧠 Sharper thinking: Subjects processed information up to 24% faster on cognitive tests. ⚡ Better memory & focus: Reaction time and short-term memory stayed higher compared to placebo. 🧬 Creatine kept brain pH steady and preserved energy stores — keeping your brain “charged.” 😴 Less fatigue: Even after being awake all night, participants reported feeling less tired. In other words: creatine didn’t just help muscles — it kept the brain online when it should’ve been crashing. 🗣️ Your Turn Would you take a scoop of creatine to power through an all-nighter instead of another cup of coffee?

Hey sub-thread in our Skool community here. Feel free to share any books or articles you find useful when it comes to health and fitness, mindset, or whatever helps others become more capable human beings. I'm a huge fan of reading and as much as I like to find new stuff, will often revisit old stuff and I can always help pull some nuggets out that help me become a better athlete, coach, programmer, etc. Lately I've been going back and re-reading Mark Rippetoe and Andy Baker's book, Practical Programming for Strength Training Any of you guys read it before? Outside of the X's and O's of training, it does a good job of explaining "the why" behind a lot of what we do. I think a lot of people would benefit greatly from understanding General Adaptation Syndrome, as explained in this book and numerous other texts. I think a lot of athletes want to feel like they get their ass kicked every session, and while it's good to redline every now and again or encounter functional overreaching that is purposely designed in a program, many don't understand the general concept of stress, adaptation, and recovery that leads to actual results. Sound off if you've given this one a read!

Everybody has their idea of what functional fitness mean. Personally, I think one of the most functional things you can do, and something that humans have been doing since the beginning of time, is picking up something heavy and carrying it or dragging it for distance. Here's an article and a podcast we did on the subject. Hope you guys enjoy it and please drop any comments/questions here. Article Link Podcast Link
