Biohacking is the art of managing one's own biology through self-experimentation done to improve one's performance, health, and wellbeing through strategic interventions, current research, and the latest technology. Biohack Strength encourages you to learn how to manipulate your biology, enhance fat loss, build muscle and strength, and boost your energy and performance for life. 

Remember that biohacking is simply a term used to describe a do-it-yourself approach to enhancing your biology. No two people are exactly the same therefore it only makes sense that every approach and program should be customized to the individual. At Biohack strength we take advantage of safe bioohacking practices such as biometric tracking with wearable technology, collection and analyis of your own biometric data, and use of evolutionarily consistent dietary practices.  The goal with biohacking is to: 

1. Have complete control over your health. 
2. Explore new concepts and tools to enhance your journey to better health. 
3. Live longer, have more energy, burn more fat, and stay metabolically healthy. 
4. Track various biometrics to gain insight and confirm whether or not something is working for you through data analysis. 
5. Adopt lifestyle habits that you have confirmed are effective for you. 
6. Become a high-performing human being. 

This is optional. Wearable technology such as smart watches and fitness-tracking bands have become readily available. You aren't strictly limited to using such technology, but it does help in making long-term changes to your health. For example, the only way to know if your night time routine is truly working is by tracking, measuring, and analyzing your sleep data. Subjectively anaylzing your sleep with "I think I slept okay" will not lead to long-term success in improving your sleep. This is just one example; however, it can be applied to everything mindset, movement, nutrition, and recovery. Taking advantage of modern tools and technology available to you is the smartest approach to obtaining true deep health. That's why becoming your own biohacker is the smartest thing you could ever do. Ultimately, it's up to the invidual for whether or not they wish to measurably improve their lifestyle. If you can't find a way, create one. 

In starting your health and fitness journey, it's important to reframe our perspective when it comes to health, fitness, and exercise. Understand that exercise is a specific activity using a tool (i.e. free weights) to achieve a specific adaptation (i.e. increased muscle mass). The law of specificity of training states that the way the body responds to physical activity is very specific to the activity itself. This means that if you're goal is to build muscle you should be performing weight bearing activity, specifically you should be performing some form of resistance training whether you're using weights, bands, or bucket of rocks. This excludes cycling and swimming, which are non-weight bearing activities and will not increase your overall muscle mass. 

Second, exercise should never undermine your health; rather, it should enhance your health. For example, if you're doing crossfit for weight loss but your back, knees, and shoulders are in constant pain after your workouts, you should consider the long-term cost to your health in performing this mode of exercise. If you're experiencing pain during any movement, do not "push through the pain", as this can lead to injury. Keep in mind that machines can still be a great way to safely learn different exercises.  

Last, in beginning any exercise program it's important to pick the right equipment for your experience level. Avoid injury at all cost. For example, if you could no longer squat due to an injury, it would be extremely difficult to gain muscle in the lower body. After you pick the right equipment for your experience level, you'll want to pick the right equipment for your goals. Think about the adaptations you're looking for (i.e. building muscle, losing fat, or increasing cardiovascular endurance) and understand how to achieve these adaptations. This is our expertise and we got you covered. 

• Health: A physiological state in which there is an abscence of disease or pathology that maintains the necessary biologic balance between the catabolic (breakdwon of organism) and anabolic (growth of organism) states.
• Fitness: The bodily state of being physiologically capable of handling challenges thta exist above a resting threshold of activity.
• Exercise: A specific activity that stimulates a postive physiological adaptation that serves to enhance fitness and health and does not undermine the latter in the process of enhancing the former. this means that exercise and health do not necessarily move in lockstep and the ultimate goal is to figure out how much exercise we can endure to how little we precisely require to cultivate the positive fitness properties from exercise and enhancing our chances for improved health and longevity.
• Intensity: Short bouts of super intense exercise has the most positive health effects and should be strived for in any exercise regiment. Aggressive recruitment and momentary weakening of muscle fibers in a defined time frame and get the most mechanical and metabolic effect for producing an adaptation. 
• Genetics: An individual's fiber type and distribution are genetically predetermined.
