Muscle Intelligence — Longevity, Training & Human Performance with Ben Pakulski

You don’t have to decline. Your body is more capable than you think. This podcast will show you how.

Muscle Intelligence is the podcast for high-performing men who want to build muscle, optimize hormones, extend their healthspan, and maintain full cognitive and physical output as they age.
Ben Pakulski spent 25 years as an IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, coach, and researcher, working with and learning from the world’s leading experts in longevity, performance medicine, testosterone optimization, peptides, and human performance. Every episode takes that body of work and gives you something specific to do with it.

Most men lose muscle, hormonal function, and mental clarity through their 40s and 50s without knowing it’s happening or that it’s reversible. Ben has spent 25 years working on exactly that problem, alongside the coaches, physicians, and researchers who have the best answers.

If you’re an executive, entrepreneur, or serious athlete who wants to train smarter, age better, and get advice from someone who has done the work, this is your show.

Topics include: muscle building, body composition, peptides, hormone optimization, longevity, cognitive performance, sleep, nutrition, and the systems high-performing men use to operate at their best in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.

New episodes every Monday.

Most men my age had similar upbringings: "Suck it up. Be tough. Anger is bad. Aggression? Even worse."

As we grew up, we were encouraged to stifle that which makes us men and as a result, many have opted for convenience and comfort over challenge and growth.

The conversation explains how to be a true masculine leader and have a greater impact on those around you… even if you're feeling lethargic, unmotivated or complacent.

Ray is a Navy Seal veteran, amazing human, and instructor of the Modern Day Knight Project... But above all, he's a man who has overcome substantial adversity and come out the other side.

When it comes to performance, health, fitness and movement optimization, the key is to find the first domino.

The one that, when it falls, it brings all the other ones down with it.

The same goes for your health. And similar to the single domino - it's not always the BIG obvious thing. In fact, it's usually the small, seemingly insignificant one that you may never have considered…

I recorded this solocast to introduce you to the often overlooked lynchpin that will drastically improve your performance: the breath.

The opportunity that exists here to change psychology, physiology, and stress modulation is enormous… And the performance-enhancing opportunity is on par with anabolic steroids. It will increase your effectiveness and performance in pretty much everything you do.

You'll learn:

The #1 Efficiency Lever that Most People Miss
How to Use Breath as a Superpower Within Your Training
An Optimal Breathwork Cadence and How to Access Specific States
A Simple Exercise to IMMEDIATELY Calm Your Nervous System
A Simple Test to See How You're Performing… Right Now!

Have you ever paid attention to how many guys train at the gym everyday, but look the same as they did when they started?

I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

It's not that they don't put in the time or effort, but that they don't put the time and effort into the RIGHT things.

Because it's actually pretty simple - what separates the goods from the Greats is the level of conscious awareness. It's often HOW you do things that is far more important than WHAT you do.

We get weaker by the day unless we become conscious of it and intentionally reverse it.

Not through mindlessly putting in a bit of effort. That might work for some time, but if you want to change your body or something in your life permanently…

It requires a shift in your identity, which is what I detailed out for you in today's episode.

You'll learn:

A 3-Tiered Process for MAXIMUM Body Transformation in the Gym
Why Most People Waste Time and Sacrifice Results, and How to Fix it
A Mindset Shift to Help you Love the Discomfort of Learning New Skills
Why External Coping Strategies DON'T Work and What to Do Instead
A Tool to Optimize EVERY Single Rep of Every Exercise

The 16 Essential Health Targets for Men #302 Feb 16, 2023

Just like your finances, little deposits into your health compound over time - so knowing what these high-impact levers are could give you back 10, 20 or even 30 good years.
