The Case for Eggs
My Ole man had a saying: “if the best thing that can happen in a situation is nothing, what are you doing in that situation to begin with?”
He was talking about bad influences, wrong crowds, dead-end scenarios—places where the upside is zero. “Nothing good away from home happens after midnight” (or 9PM for me these days lol) Well, I’ve inverted that philosophy when it comes to eggs. The other day, taking my walk around the neighborhood, I had this thought… Every human on this planet should eat a minimum of three eggs daily, and I genuinely can’t find a single reason not to.
The science is bulletproof. Eggs deliver all nine essential amino acids, complete protein, choline for cognitive function, lutein for eye health, selenium, B vitamins, and healthy fats including linoleic acid. A wise friend once wrote “Eggs are nature’s multivitamin wrapped in a shell.” And here’s the kicker: they’re dirt cheap. Eggs are one of the most economical sources of fuel you can buy!
The best outcome here isn’t nothing—it’s everything. Three eggs minimum daily, Scale up from there based on your size and goals. You get complete nutrition, brain support, eye health, and sustained energy—all for pennies on the dollar. Your body and your wallet will thank you.
Safety Moment: Fourth of July weekend is here, which means good times, and that good ole Alabama heat. Dunno if you trained this week yet… but it’s a bit warm, and will continue to be warm for a good bit. Don’t let the festivities derail your training. If you get dehydrated and fall out, Coach Steve has solutions, none of which you will like.
Notes from the Programmer: You guys crushed the Front Squat cycle! Very happy to see the gainz, and now we will shift gears into some serious Olympic lifting work. Squat snatches will be our Mondays for the next training block, with complementary overhead squat work on Wednesdays. Like my favorite soul song of the 90’s “I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can” That’s Oleta Adams, btw, shout out to Ms. Sylvia for getting me into the right decade!
Caffeine, Ketones, and Random Gorilla Thoughts
I genuinely couldn’t be happier training at Impulse right now. The caliber of people here—our coaches, our members, the energy in the room… it’s special. Day in and day out, consistently, the vibe is really awesome, and that doesn’t exist everywhere. It’s a genuine privilege to be surrounded with high quality people committed to improving! When you are thrashing around on the ground after a tough workout, remember that this is a celebration of what you CAN DO.
Like the salty beard sweat that drips onto your lips, savor the flavor fam, the good old days are right now.
