Mobility and Flexibility: A Better System

On 26 October 2025 I made a decision:
to take mobility and flexibility seriously.

I started this journey with Calisthenics Movement – Mobility 2.0.
I completed the prep phase and Level 1 twice, and the content itself was solid — but the sessions slowly grew from 10 minutes to almost 30, and that simply didn’t fit my day.
I couldn’t sustain that structure consistently.

So I switched to GoWOD, and honestly: this is exactly what I needed.

What works so well for me:

  • innovative, built-in progress measurement
  • personalized routines
  • three simple modes: Daily, Activation, Recovery
  • I choose how much time I have (I always select 8 minutes)
  • I can do it at any moment: a break at work, while cooking, between tasks

Because of that flexibility, it became a natural habit.
After almost a full month, my streak holds strong and I’m averaging ~12 minutes per day.

It fits my lifestyle, it works with my training, and it finally gives me a sustainable mobility system.

NeuroForge 3.0 — Cycle Close (Nov 10, 2024)

Finished the cycle. Subjectively the weakest so far — not because the stack “stopped working,” but because it overlapped with a very heavy training block (see: fall after the peak) and the UC Berkeley Exec program (Artificial Intelligence: Business Strategies and Applications). The combo of VO₂ sessions + deep study simply masked day-to-day effects.

What I’ll keep (and for how long)

  • DHA — continue for ~1 month, then stop.
  • Uridine — continue for ~1 month, then stop.

After that: full 2-month break from the stack. Planned restart: ~Feb 10, 2026.

What I actually ran

Daily protocol as in the Cycle 3 start note; effects were more “structural base” than “wow” under high load.

Takeaways

  • Under high physical + cognitive stress, perceived gains flatten even if long-term building (mitochondria, membranes) continues.
  • Sleep held up; HRV was volatile and tracked intensity spikes.
  • The right move now is homeostasis: let the system self-regulate, keep only DHA/uridine one more month, then full off-cycle.
