#2 has to be the lie! I've always wanted to build a good obstacle course out on the farm around the perimeter which would be a mile long. Something that has stations, push ups, rope climb, balance beam, dirt mound climb, pull-up bar, monkey bars, just different stuff. Maybe when I retire it'll be a project to work on. I have several buddies that are cops, they want me to put in shooting stations too, now that would be really fun. We just acquired a bigger piece of land 110 acres. May do it there instead, a little more wild out there. Functional strength and formal lifting are both important. and fun.
Spartan Race built a course at my home -- 4 walls from 9' to 12', one with windows, a 15' cargo net over a traverse wall, monkey ropes, a hoist and a climbing rope. They also custom built a sled. I wanted to build a prison yard style outdoor weight room (complete with a chain link fence topped with concertina wire) but the LSW said no to that.
The o-course idea is excellent. Definitely do it. A friend set up a 3-d shooting course at his farm that is growing in popularity with local cops. His innovation is that at each station there's a (changeable) card -- you look down to read which target to hit, either a close pistol shot or further rifle shot. So not only are there transitions, but surprise transitions.
They are both good. Slightly different. Magnesium L-Threonate is especially good at crossing the blood-brain barrier and thus for cognitive impact. Glycinate quite bioavailable. Good more general magnesium. I take both.
I've seen David DL 465 lbs. and bench 335 lbs. for reps (can vouch for that but don't know that he hasn't done more that I haven't seen) and actively works on progressively overloading so he does both.
I want to get stronger so badly. I think that Westside Barbell style powerlifting should be for everyone. I care about deadlifts/bench/squats a lot. They solve most of the world's problems.
In BJJ people talk a lot about how you don't 'need' strength. Not wrong. But man, if you're struggling with good technique, it sure is nice to have the plan B of just being able to push someone off you!
If someone didn't progressively overload barbells, that is what they should focus on. In David's case, he was speaking both with me (who he knows loves them) and a gym community that lifts a lot and might need a nudge to get outside a bit too.

That sounds awesome!

lol, yeah I can see that!

DM recommends Magnesium L-Threonate.
My coach recommends Magnesium Glycinate.
Is one better than the other?

I agree 100%.
