Lucky To Be Alive...
Ya its that day again.
I dont really celebrate and today is the first day of being with it alone.

Look, Im tired of talking about it.
I want to move on too.
I want the nightmares to stop.
But my scars are mine. I earned them and they are lessons and blessing.
That day set in motion some of the most amazing next few years of my life.
I also know those are my friends forever (minus one).

Despite everything, outside of not being there in the first place, I would do it again. I cant tell her that, but it's true.
It pains me beyond belief "friends" ever thought the opposite.

I take today to reflect, be grateful, appreciate how far Ive come and what it allowed me to do.
Out of pure violence and rage, a love was born. Something that took me years and years to understand.
A couple months ago she told me she forgave me, that she never held it against me. But for years I did. So, that was such an amazing thing to allow me to let go of.

I love you kids. Id run with you all anytime.

To this day we never agree on what happened.
On this day, Im just grateful. Ive finally found peace, I accept acceptance, I love bc I can.

Of course if I ever met that MFer again Id hurt him bad, but I also have to thank the situation bc it gave me 8 yrs of an amazing experience and good friends.

So cheers! Here's to being alive and kicking and screaming and him not loading the gun!!
Im grateful. Totally and absolutely. Maybe one day Ill heal and let it go, but today, today I say thank you.

Love you guys.

For anyone interested:
I'll be moving out of Simi Valley next week. On my personal page I made a love letter of sorts to my experience here and the people I met along the way over the last almost 16 years here.
Check it out if you'd like. It's long but it's mostly notes and thoughts.
The ending is ABSOLUTELY worth it in my opinion.
Take care, and of course, thank you.
Love,
Chris Espinosa

Check out a recent pod/ep I did with my good friend and coach Elliott Schackne for his Leaner After 40 ⚡️ Helping people 40+ reignite their metabolism

We covered a bunch of aspects and topics of cognitive performance and overall brain health :)

Dr. Huberman and partners in building better brains!!!! 😍🤩🤓😎🥳🤠

This was huge news for us at Take Thesis that not only were we going to partner with Dr. Huberman
BUT
He takes the blends, is a big fan of ours AND he feels real benefits and results from what we create.

I personally found Thesis (then called ) bc of what issues I was dealing with post suffering my TBI and deal with PCS.
I was able to talk to the creator/founder/CEO Dan Freed when I first started taking Formula and he personally helped sort out my situation and blends and also helped with my mom who was beginning to suffer from Alzheimer's.

Flash forward almost 2 years and now I work for Thesis as a Nootropics Expert & Cognitive Coach helping others 😍🤓🤩

Dr. Huberman was someone I stumbled across combing the web for info on neuroscience and he is basically The Mrs. Frizzell of Magic School Bus for your brain and can take you on deep dive into neuroscience science and many, many other subjects.
He is a blast to listen to and puts out amazing information.
He can take complex subjects to plain as day or he can take you on an awesome nerd journey through the human body.

I HIGHLY recommend his podcast, newsletters, protocols and website.

I also HIGHLY recommend you head over to Www.takethesis.com and take a free quiz that will give you fantastic insight into how you're currently cognitively functioning and what blends we recommend for you.

I take Thesis, Dr. Huberman takes Thesis, and we are a couple of smart cats you can definitely trust 😉🤓😎

If you want to set up a coaching call with me you can do that as well by going to:
Calendly.com/takethesis-coachchris
BUT
Whatever you do, definitely give Dr. Huberman a listen.

We are so pumped to have him on board, its a very big deal and we are very excited to see who else we can help and help educate. Here's to a great partnership!! 🤘🙌👏

Still Got It!! 😍🤩🥰😃🤣🤣
Before I left my father asked me: do you even remember how to tie a knot???

I did, but I looked it up just in case 😄

The river was weird this trip.
It was way hotter than expected
Water level was low (literally could see the bottom in every location)
It was literally the last few days of the season, so highly fished areas.
I was half-assing a lot of my time in the river
Fish didnt like me or my lures

I was mostly using lures and in a TON of holes you could see the fish. I could clearly see them showing interest in my lures but really not givingAF.

Sunset was the best time for catching anything.

Seeing fish in some areas, I stayed and casted and casted trying to get them to take a hit. Once I saw a fish, I wanted THAT one, and wasnt doing a lot of moving around the river.
Mostly I poundedTF out of a hole (perverts, these are fishin' terms) and would just hunt that fish.

Mainly I was using some crawdad and cricket lures, and some spinners. With as bright and hot as it was bright lures did better.

While the actual catch was low I had a blast.

I also have to take a step back and post why I was so jacked up the first day which effected the rest of my time on the river (see post: waiting to die and broken toes)

Got one! So, bangbang!! 🤩🤩😍😍

Breathing Tabatas
Give this a try for a metcon or cardio day or if youre bored or just for sh*t-N-giggles 😜🤪🙃😬

Warning: NOT easy! Gets more and more increasingly difficult.

Note: a LOT of people are doing tabatas incorrectly. If you're a coach I would highly recommend going back and reading the original protocols and adjustments from the original protocol that followed.
If you want me to do a video on a breakdown of that let me know

BUT:
8 rounds of 110% intensity is NOT the correct thing to do.

2ndary Note: I am NOT saying this is a correct adjustment to the protocols BUT it has been very difficult/very interesting/fun for me to do at the end of a workout or in place of a metcon.

Breathing Tabata Protocol:
20x Breaths- keeping intensity around 70-80% max
Try and keep breaths slow and control-try to Avoid hyper Breathing, or taking short panic breaths as much as possible.
10x Recovery Breaths-take as long of inhales and exhales as you can and try and slow everything back down and gain control.
8 rounds.

For some reason (havent figured it out, havent put much thought into it) loooong exhales and short inhales allow me more control.

This will probably take longer than 4 mins (as it should) but is interesting to do for sure.

Example:
20x Breaths on Airdyne
10x Recovery Breaths: basically trying to catch my breath and recover.
8 Rounds

Give it a try and let me know if you do and how it goes!

"So why were you crying?"
-Great friend who cares

(If you haven’t seen the previous post, Pt 1, you’re probably going to want to check that out for context. I clearly, still do not know what I want to do in regards to writing about this recent trip.
It took me quite a while (more than a few days) as to why (after I checked-in and got settled, called my lovely girlfriend to hear about her and our adorable pugs) I had a breakdown.

In short: I had a breakdown, because it hit me again, how broken I am.

To back up: despite the "long drive" up there (4hrs) I was shocked to see what the pandemic and time had done to everything along 395.
Bishop, CA was a kind of backyard for my family growing up. My dad was born-n-raised in CO, hunting/fishing was something he absolutely wanted his sons to love and be great at. We spent a lot of time in Bishop. A lot. Any vacation opportunity we took, really had to have a fishing/hunting aspect to it. So, I didn’t go to Hawaii or NY like a lot of other kids I knew growing up. My mom was onboard, always, and I’ve never heard different, so a lot of photos and videos I can recall in my mind; my mom was right there with me for almost all of it showing me the oaks and owls, raccoons, streams and lakes and carried me everywhere along the way. It wasn't until I was into my early teens that she just stopped going. But that's another story.

It wasn't that I listened to the saddest music ever driving up. It wasn't that I only listened to the sounds in my own head. I just hadn’t been completely alone like that in quite a while.
A gas station or so before Bishop, I pulled in looking for something other than beer and ended up just buying a Coke. I sipped it the rest of the drive until I rolled into Bishop and searched for the nearest store that sold hard liquor.

Bishop:
“Agonies are infinite, and sympathies just aren't”
I’m just going to put this out there. Maybe just as a start. Maybe this is all I will say about it at all.
Been a couple days since I left and returned and I’m still finding, sifting, sorting, processing, ignoring, highlighting, deleting and everything in regards to the trip I took and all the thoughts that occurred during my time on the rivers edge, near the lakes shores and over all the highways and side streets and dirt roads I took.
I have considered writing and putting all of it into some form of journal entries, or recaps, self-publish whatever it becomes for any others to if they’re interested. I kind of want to do it for myself, just to get it all out on the page and off my still shaking fingers. If it’s read, its read. Not my problem.
To see if there is any interest, or catharsis though:
Day 1:
The morning I left my father asked me, “what’s this trip about anyways?” I couldn’t answer him. Not to his face. I just looked down at the kitchen floor and said to my sneakers, “let me get on the road and I’ll call you and explain.”
I never did.
I’ve wanted to leave for a while. I’ve needed to leave for a while longer.
It’s been a hell of a couple years...
I am sure most of you who know me, and those that have been “following” me (whatever that means) knows ‘most’ of what’s gone on. And yes, for sure, there has been a LOT I have been keeping off the page, and even more still, that I have been keeping from those who are truly close to me.
But anyways, since getting my own diagnosis at the beginning of 2019, to my mom getting her diagnosis at the same start of the year, closing the business, losing clients who I thought were friends, and friends who just ended up being clients, to all those “usual financial troubles,” and more. Tons more. Mountains more. More than I even probably care to realize or recognize at any given moment because “Moonlit cedar bursts in pain...”

High BAR vs Low Bar Back Squats
Whoo!! Ha!! What is it good for?

NOT EVEN JOKING, BUT EVERYONE WHO SQUATS SHOULD BE READING THIS AND MEMORIZING IT.
I WISH HE WOULD DO A BREAKDOWN OF EACH ON VIDEO BC THERE ARE DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR EACH MOVEMENT.

WHILE ANATOMICAL DIFFERENCES EXIST, WHICH CHANGES THE SET UP AND EX*****ON OF THE MOVEMENT.

THIS. IS. STANDARD.

A LOT OF YOU USE HIGH BAR POSITION WITH LOW BAR MECHANICS.
A LOT OF YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING HIGH BAR POSITION AT ALL.
A LOT OF YOU USING HIGH BAR POSITION AND THWARTING YOUR POTENTIAL STRENGTH AND DEVELOPMENT.

LEARN THE DIFFERENCES.
