SpaceX Is Raising $500M at a $30.5B Valuation

That’s demonsratably a bad idea when it comes to exercise and likely most other things in life. Limits are not binary, you are causing harm when you approach them. Going over just means the injury is more noticeable.

What’s really interesting is if you study the absolute top athletes is they treat down time as both nessisary and productive.

Absolute peak performance is simply not sustainable, you need to adjust to a huge range of tradeoffs.

I agree 100%. The expected outcome is not good. But the range of possible outcomes goes higher than being smart about it.

But top athletes also exercise far more than other people.

Most people don't exercise enough, so that's no surprise. The important thing is that top athletes don't exercise as much as they possibly could because doing so would be counterproductive.

They have also spent years building up the capacity to exercise as much as they do. If you go straight from an office job lifestyle to top athlete levels of effort, you'll get injured.
