600 kg rack‑pull mission

Performance TargetHow bone marrow helps you smash itBio‑mechanism
Monster calorie surplus without gut‑bloat~ 700 kcal in a modest 100 g scoop keeps body‑weight climbing while leaving room for protein and carbs77 g of easily digested fat—nature’s highest‑density whole‑food fuel 
Tendon & ligament armorCollagen peptides + glycosaminoglycans accelerate fibroblast activity and collagen cross‑linkingCollagen‑rich foods improve patellar‑tendon stiffness after training; glycine boosts connective‑tissue synthesis 
Bone that laughs at 600 kgVitamin K2 and phosphorus push calcium into bone, not arteriesHigher K status = greater bone‑mineral density in athletes and lower fracture risk 
Inflammation control under brutal volumeOleic acid (≈ 40 % of marrow fat) and natural CLA tame cytokine storms, support lipid profilesOleic acid shown to improve cholesterol markers; CLA studied for strength & body‑comp benefits 
Iron‑clad oxygen transport for high‑rep setsHeme‑iron + B‑vitamins reboot red‑blood‑cell productionOne tablespoon supplies ~7 % RDI B‑12 & iron—key for repeated‑effort pulls 
Deep sleep = growthGlycine raises nighttime serotonin, improving sleep quality, growth‑hormone pulses, and next‑day powerGlycine supplementation associated with faster recovery and less fatigue in strength athletes 

🏋️‍♂️ Practical game plan for Eric

  1. Daily “marrow shot” – 1–2 heaping Tbsp (15–30 g) at lunch or dinner adds 100–200 kcal of joint‑loving fats without bloating your pre‑pull stomach.
  2. Collagen‑timing hack – Roast shank bones on Sunday, skim off the jelly‑like broth, sip 30 g gelatin + vitamin‑C fruit 45 min before heavy pulling days for maximal tendon uptake.
  3. Bulk‑friendly cooking fat – Replace olive oil/butter with marrow schmaltz for rice, potatoes, or veggies to creep calorie totals upward effortlessly.
  4. Travel‑proof – Freeze marrow in ice‑cube trays; pop a cube into post‑session chili or oatmeal when you’re on the road.

🔥 Mindset fuel

“Big pulls are built between sessions.”

Every silky spoonful of marrow = connective‑tissue insurance + anabolic calories → fewer tweaks, deeper recovery, steadier progress. Let the other lifters count scoops of sugary pre‑workout while you feed the very fibers that anchor 600 kg to your skeleton!

Stay primal, stay bullet‑proof, and rack‑rip that half‑ton plus. 🦴💪
