Eugene Teo recommends a modification of a high-low split with different days at varied intensity, which he found the most successful and currently uses for combined bodybuilding and athletic training.
Eugene Teo says the three barbell movements that helped him the most — not just for muscle building but for overall performance — are the Zurcher squat, the snatch grip deficit deadlift, and a dead bench/pin press from a complete dead stop.
Eugene Teo recommends everybody immediately start adding plyometric jump training to their routine, dedicating about 5-10 minutes as a simple entry point. He suggests starting with basic pogos on the ground, and points to skipping on the spot, jump rope, and box jumps as good starting points.
Eugene Teo's three favorite barbell movements beyond the squat, bench, and deadlift are the Zurcher squat, the snatch grip deficit deadlift, and a dead bench / pin press style bench press from a complete dead stop. He found these three helped him the most from an overall performance-based perspective as core barbell lifts, not just for muscle building.
Eugene Teo says Zurcher squats are a horrible choice if your goal is to grow legs, and if you want to compete in powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting, a front squat or back squat is a better choice. But the Zurcher squat is a great grappling movement: it trains muscles that no other barbell movement does as sufficiently at the same load and intensity, giving positional strength for grappling.
Jake Tuura advises that for people with patellar tendinopathy, the problem in sprinting is the deceleration, where the quads work really hard and will probably aggravate the patellar tendon; he would not have them do a five-foot depth drop because it is a lot of quads and will probably aggravate them. Top-end sprinting itself is not that much patellar tendon load, though they might not handle the acceleration.

Coach Kyle advises against doing too much direct approaching at gyms, clubs, and classes because it's the same people over and over; instead, be social with everybody — greetings, compliments, small talk with the girl next to you on the bench, a name exchange, and ending on a high note.
Coach Kyle recommends going to the mall to meet women, particularly on weekends or when it's raining or cold outside, when foot traffic is high.
Coach Kyle recommends meeting women at gyms, including classes like circuit training, HIIT workouts, or hot yoga.
Coach Kyle recommends a 'commute plus pit stop' strategy: instead of zoning out in the car, take public transportation, park slightly further away for a longer walk, and add a pit stop — a cafe before work, or the grocery store, city center, pier, or boardwalk after work — to put yourself in position for social interaction.
Coach Kyle recommends going to niche interest locations — bookstores if you're into reading, dog parks or dog cafes if you have a dog — and also mentions faith-based events or religious gatherings for those who are religious.
Huberman recommends combining high-intensity exercise, caffeine, cyclic hyperventilation, and deliberate cold exposure as a versatile kit for increasing epinephrine and physical and mental energy.
Jeff Cavalier advises not adding bananas to berry smoothies if the goal is the polyphenol benefits of blueberries, because the banana's polyphenol oxidase undercuts that benefit. He frames it as rethinking the timing and pairing of your banana — not the banana itself, but what you eat it with.

For power cleans from just below the knee, cue knees back, make contact, catch; stay flat-footed as long as possible during the pull; practice from the middle of the shin with an empty bar before adding weight; aim for a quick turnover and a big finish; rip the bar as fast as possible while holding good positions.
Speed is one of the biggest things people pay for. Offer a same-day surcharge starting at 10%, raise it to 20% over time, and keep raising it until customers say no. The date premium only applies if the move is happening today. A 10-20% lift is significant at scale because margins are around 70%.

After giving a compliment, don't walk away when she says thanks. Instead, go into the topic she reveals (e.g., her tattoos) — that's what gets you from compliment to an extended interaction of at least 15 seconds.
When the interaction goes well past the minute mark, subtly square your body up a bit more toward her (not fully squared up) and inch your feet over slightly, rocking to get about an inch closer — signaling increasing investment as the interaction progresses.
