Episode notes
Why Jordan Prefers The Body Saw Over Ab Wheel
- Jordan and Tony discuss the ab wheel vs body saw, with Jordan preferring the body saw as a broadly applicable plank progression.
- He notes ab wheel adds instability and shoulder demand, so it's a fun skill but not a universal programming choice.
Getting Pepper Sprayed During Security Training
- Jordan Syatt described getting pepper sprayed during security training and how it felt like “100 hornets stinging” his eyes, forcing him to complete a shuttle run, bag work, and handcuffing while blinded.
- He needed a medic to hose his eyes, felt incapacitated for 45 minutes and took 24 hours to fully recover, which convinced him pepper spray is an effective deterrent.
Consider Statins When Cholesterol Stays High
- If lifestyle changes (exercise, diet) don't lower chronically high cholesterol, Jordan recommends discussing statins because large-scale data show they reduce long-term risk.
- He also highlights checking comprehensive labs (ApoB, triglycerides) and considering fiber and omega-3s before medication decisions.
