Typists BEWARE! All this “ice baths don’t work” study proves is  you can’t build cardio or muscle in your…wrists.

Ancestral wilderness skills have an innate ability to deepen the Father-Son connection like nothing else.

 ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: 

As compiled, deciphered, edited and sometimes read by Brock Skywalker Armstrong, the Podcast Sidekick and Audio Ninja. Fitness Fabrics & Fashion: Exercise Clothing 101 

Alicia says: How should she choose what kind of training gear to wear? She usually wears smartwool in the winter (or the free race shirts) and just a sport bra top in the summer. Is there anything to all the new space-age fabric that is out there for run clothing. Can you let us know about those fabrics? Does she need to be concerned about whether or not fabrics are organic, etc? Especially since they are going to be pressed up against her sweaty body.  In my response, I recommend: -The article "5 Tips To Choose The Right Exercise Clothing". -Castelli for cycling/triathlon gear -Hylete (use code BEN50 to save 50%) -Kryptek (use code BEN to save 15%) -Jackthreads Daily drops of new curated collections from the brands you love, a seemingly never-ending feed of limited-run collaborations from mega brands and up-and-coming designers alike, and a growing stable of private label product Jackthreads is building from the ground up that you can't find anywhere else. Can Radiation Be Good For You (And Natural Remedies For Radiation)? 

Todd says: He just discovered that his home has high levels of radon gas. He has gone through the mitigation process of insulating and venting but is wondering if there is something else he can do to lessen the long term damage it may have done to his family (including his 22 month old twins). Perhaps something he can add to his diet?  In my response, I recommend: -The concept of radiation hormesis -Nascent iodine -Calcium, magnesium, clay and the other compounds found at Magnetic Clay -Activated charcoal -Organic Germanium -Organic Brewer's Yeast -Bee Pollen -DMSO How To Do Isokinetic Training 

Joe says: He wants to know more about isokinetic training for strength and power. He has noticed that the Exer-Genie is still on the market and would like to know what you think of that.  In my response, I recommend: -Vasa Swim Ergometer -ARXFit What To Do About Sweaty Hands 

George says: He would like to know of ways to keep his hands warm and dry. Lately he has been getting clammy hands even when he doesn't feel nervous or anxious. He would like to tone it down on the fist bumps and get back to the man gripping. Any idea what might cause this and what he can do about it?  In my response, I recommend: -Our previous episode on hyperhidrosis -Autoimmune diet
