If we’re discussing just that one data point, I don’t think so. I think it could be, but it could also be okay. One of the challenges is knowing what’s he is actually doing commensurate with what he says he’s doing.

His workout is really hard, it it’s not a lot of resistance training. He’s gotten good at it so it has the benefits that a hard workout would. When I did it for a week, I suffered but I couldn’t match the metabolic demands that my Olympic lifts oriented training workout entailed when I lift heavy.

I’m very strong but I eat between 2500-2700 kcals in my 50s and I lift heavy. I eat a bit more on big run days.

Given the length and nature of his gym routine, o don’t think his burn ratio is that high.

As for the rest.. his temps and sleep patterns, I couldn’t say. He says he sleeps well and there is data to support the observation that he had trouble sleeping. I can sleep 8-9 hours without waking up, and that is definitely correlated to my workout habits and my peace of mind.

Brian is interesting but we may have partial data from him that is out of sync with what we think his other practices are at the same point in time.
