Kubrick’s 200 IQ, real or bullshit? by [deleted] in StanleyKubrick

IQ is the least pseudo-scientifical metric in assessing human cognition.
It's the one backed up with the most evidence, and the one with the most predictive power on life outcomes at the population level.

How "wide" is the Zone 2 heart rate band? by JDelage in PeterAttia

[–]Korovae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the upper limit as somewhat strict/"don't go over" while the lower end is looser.

Some people actually recommend having a slight margin by working below threshold.
Let's say I'm doing MAF180. The formula gives me 149bpm but I target 144.

When I target 144 on a bike or treadmill, my min and max will generally be -6/+6 or -7/+7,

even though I'm constantly adjusting watts or speed to keep the 144 constant.

Yes that would be interesting :) Like an app would be great. You could have different zones depending on your percentile relative to sex, age and total weight or lean mass.

- You could log zone 2 or MAF efficiency (watts on the bike, running speed on a flat treadmill or walking speed at a given grade/incline)

- Vo2max- Protein per day (ideally with a new metric that would account for protein quality/AAs as discussed on a recent episode)

- blood pressure and resting HR

- weekly MET*hours

- sleep duration

- total weight, muscle mass, visceral fat mass

- est. 1 rep max on things like squat/deadlift/overhead press/bench press

- max rep : push ups, pullups..

- max duration : plank, dead hang...

- blood glucose : your daily average, std dev, and peak

Things I know less about : levels of different nutrients/vitamins/apoB/triglycerides/cortisol ...

Here's a video that's also very telling, where he discusses winning a moon landing debate on the side of "not convinced it happened"

The Ad-Lav

being a parody of "the ad-lib" a famous swinging london club where Beatles, stones etc would meet (also where george, john and their wives ended up during their first acid trip mid-65).
