Dear Mark: Should I Consume Caffeine Before My Workout?   "Caffeine does not dehydrate you or cause you to overheat. It’s “safe.” It’s not bad for the active athlete."—Mark Sisson, Mark's Daily Apple

"Whatever the case may be, the literature is pretty clear that caffeine improves endurance performance, perhaps by enhancing fuel partitioning or making exercise more tolerable and enjoyable."—Mark Sisson, Mark's Daily Apple

Optimal Sleep Positioning   "So when I see a physiotherapist who has spent many years around tribal and zoological populations, and he observes constants in how they rest, I consider that information relevant. I don’t take it for granted when the physiotherapist says that tribal populations simply don’t have many musculoskeletal problems. I deem that highly relevant. In the same way that a series of adaptations resulted in the evolution of various species, they have adapted to using particular methods of rest that prevent getting gunked up hips, knees, backs, and shoulders. I’m an anatomy and physiology nerd because it helps you and me get better."—Justin Lascek, 70s Big
