Should we all have unrestricted access to junk food? Are YOU disciplined enough to have it lurking in your kitchen?
-
In theory, sure. If you’re one of those responsible adults who can buy Oreos and manage to eat only 4-5 at a time and call it a day, kudos to you! That level of discipline is Jocko-esque.

But here’s the kicker: these tempting treats were engineered to turn us into snacking machines. Try eating just 8 Doritos and stopping... it’s like trying to resist petting a puppy—it’s not easy, especially for me.

So here’s my survival strategy: I don’t keep the junk in the house. If it’s not readily available, I’ll naturally gravitate towards wholesome, healthy food. You see, I know I lack the self-control to enjoy just 1/3 of a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, or a modest stack of 5 Oreos, or even a tiny bowl of cereal. I’m an enthusiastic eater, and I’m not shy about it—I’m 250 lbs, after all! If I bring home a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, you better BELIEVE I’m making it disappear.

Of course, I also stock up on healthier alternatives. @questnutrition and @legendaryfoods make some amazing protein bars/snacks that hit the spot without sabotaging your macronutrient intake. And let’s not forget the @ninjakitchen Ninja Creami; it’s like having a protein-packed ice cream wizard in your kitchen. It easily satisfies those ice cream cravings that we all have. If you’ve got other suggestions, hit me in the comments. I like to eat 🤗 #strongerhuman
@nsimainyang asks @darustrong how fighters can stop carrying so much tension when they strike or grapple, and Phil breaks down why relaxation is actually a weapon.
The goal isn’t to be less aggressive, it’s to control aggression, breathe under pressure, and stay calm enough to perform when everything gets chaotic.
@marksmellybell asks @darustrong how much squatting and deadlifting he actually uses with elite fighters, and Phil breaks down why risk-to-reward matters more than forcing every athlete under a straight bar.
Trap bars, rack pulls, sumos, split stance work, and overcoming isometrics all have their place when the goal is building force production without beating up the athlete before fight night.

@daverossiglobal joins the Power Project to break down the ideas behind his book Alphas Die Early and explain why so many young men are struggling with identity, anxiety, performance, and purpose. He digs into modern masculinity, the pressure to become an “alpha,” the damage of living performatively, and why vulnerability, self-mastery, and honesty may actually be the real forms of strength.
