I did 100 squats while writing this newsletter. Here’s why

The Year-End Moves No One’s Watching

Markets don’t wait — and year-end waits even less.

In the final stretch, money rotates, funds window-dress, tax-loss selling meets bottom-fishing, and “Santa Rally” chatter turns into real tape. Most people notice after the move.

Elite Trade Club is your morning shortcut: a curated selection of the setups that still matter this year — the headlines that move stocks, catalysts on deck, and where smart money is positioning before New Year’s. One read. Five minutes. Actionable clarity.

Let me remind you who you’re listening to.

I played Nike Battleground at 42–43 years old.

I hit 50 pull-ups straight last year on film.

I hit 105 squats straight last year on film.

Yesterday—100 squats straight—while writing the Allen Iverson newsletter.

Not before.

Not after.

During.

This isn’t motivation content.

This is proof of system.

I’m not guessing.

I’m not theorizing.

I’m not “getting back in shape.”

I’ve lived inside a trained body for decades.

Most People Are Exhausted Because Their Bodies Are Sedated

Here’s the hard truth no productivity guru will say:

You’re not tired from working.

You’re tired from being still too long.

Sitting is not neutral.

It’s compressive.

It shuts down hips.

It dulls circulation.

It turns your nervous system into soup.

Then you wonder why:

• Your brain fades at 2 p.m.

• Your back hurts

• Your mood drops

• Your creativity dies

• Your “discipline” disappears

That’s not a mindset problem.

That’s a body mismanagement problem.

Athletic Entrepreneurs Don’t Separate Work From Training

This is where we break from everyone else.

We don’t:

• “Finish work, then work out”

• “Schedule fitness”

• “Wait for motivation”

We weaponize movement during work.

Static work requires dynamic interruption.

Period.

You sit for hours?

You must move.

Not later.

Now.

This Is How a Lifelong Athlete Actually Operates

When pressure builds in my hips from sitting:

• I don’t complain

• I don’t stretch for 30 seconds and pretend it helped

• I move weight through space

Squats.

Pull-ups.

Push-ups.

Lunges.

Two minutes.

Sometimes less.

That’s not a workout.

That’s maintenance of a high-performance machine.

And I’ve seen the results:

• At 40+

• While working more than ever

• While building companies

• While creating daily content

• While thinking at a high level

This is a lifeline, not a phase.

The AE Rep System Exists Because Chaos Needs Structure

We don’t do random movement.

We do AE reps.

• AE 25 — wake the system

• AE 50 — reset energy

• AE 75 — break fatigue

• AE 100 — full nervous system override

No gym.

No excuses.

No outfit change.

No ceremony.

Work → Move → Continue.

That’s it.

Why This Newsletter Exists

I didn’t start this newsletter to inspire you.

I started it because most people have forgotten what a trained body feels like.

I’m not here to be relatable.

I’m here to rebuild athletes in disguise:

• Entrepreneurs

• Creators

• Operators

• Builders

• Thinkers

People who work with their minds but refuse to let their bodies rot in the chair.

There Is No One Else Teaching This Like This

Let’s be clear.

Most fitness people don’t work.

Most business people don’t move.

Most productivity people don’t train.

Most athletes retire mentally at 30.

We don’t belong to any of them.

We are Athletic Entrepreneurs.

We distribute energy.

We interrupt stagnation.

We train inside the workday.

We stay dangerous on purpose.

Final Word

If your body can’t support your ambition,

your ambition will eventually collapse.

This system works because it’s built by someone who never stopped being an athlete.

Not for likes.

Not for nostalgia.

Not for ego.

For survival.

For clarity.

For longevity.

Now get up.

AE 25 reps. 

At least

Right now.

Then get back to work.
