Common Drive: Endurance Training Mimics Aging by Killing It—Here’s Proof

Описание: Most people think endurance training makes you younger. The truth? It may be speeding up your aging.

In this video, I reveal the hidden role of Common Drive—your brain’s internal power signal that synchronizes every movement—and how endurance training mimics aging by destroying it.

If you’ve been training long and slow, you may be doing more harm than good.
Learn how aging and endurance training follow the same destructive path—and why even elite sprinters still lose power and agility if they ignore one critical truth:

The Common Drive must be activated instantly—or it fades.

I’m 61 years old, and I’ve preserved fast movement, reflexes, and power using methods that mainstream science has overlooked. This is just the beginning.
