A new competition format is emerging, bringing movements and exercises from the gym floor to the competition arena, with its official launch in September.

Will HybridX become a competitor to Hyrox, CrossFit, or Xenom?

More about Xenom in next week's episode.

Fotbolls VM, folkfest, men vad är det som döljer sig under ytan? Våldet, pengarna, dyrkan av spelarna. Som vanligt så ser jag på saker på ett annat sätt än de flesta och utan att förstöra folkfesten vill jag ändå göra dig uppmärksam på att det inte alltid är festligt och kul med ett fotbolls VM, inte för alla.

With summer comes time off and a break from our routines.

But it doesn't have to mean a steep uphill battle when autumn arrives.

Many people train for HYROX the wrong way—especially women, who often follow training strategies designed for men instead of training in a way that works with their own physiology and menstrual cycle. In this episode, I also explore doping and the controversial Enhanced Games, and explain why your VO₂ max may be one of the biggest factors determining your HYROX performance.

Xenom är den nya tävlingsformen som går i CrossFits fotspår. Frågan är om Xenom kommer konkurrera mest med Hyrox, CrossFit eller HybridX mest. Vad är styrkan i Xenom? Vad tillför ytterligare en fitnesstävling? Första tävlingen gick av stapeln nyligen i Frisco utanför Dallas.

Tick populations have exploded, and now people are saying you can become allergic to meat after a tick bite. It sounds like science fiction—but is it actually true? Are Lyme disease-carrying ticks a natural phenomenon, or are they really a bioweapon created in a lab by the very scientist the bacterium was named after? And if a mosquito bites you this summer, does that mean you've been vaccinated against Ebola? This week's episode dives into speculation, myths, and conspiracy theories. Come with us down the rabbit hole.

This episode dives into melatonin as more than just a sleep hormone, including new research on its possible role in training, recovery, and performance. I also break down environmental toxins like PFAS, microplastics, and heavy metals in food and fitness products, and explore how sleep trackers and smartwatches can both improve and complicate our understanding of recovery and sleep quality.
