Welcome to Fitness Friday. Today I'm joined by journalist Henry Abbott to explore Misogi, which is a powerful practice where you take on a challenge so tough there's only a 50% chance you'll finish. Think underwater 5Ks with rocks. or nine-hour paddleboard treks through sharky waters.
We also talk about the science behind mental limits, Henry's journey through chronic pain, and why pushing to the edge might be exactly what you need to break through. So let's dive in. Before we dive into today's episode, I want to thank our sponsor, Momentus. on NSF certification, which means every single batch is tested for heavy metals, harmful additives, and label accuracy.
And that's why they're trusted by all 32 NFL teams and top collegiate sports dieticians across the country. Here's the thing. They don't sell every supplement under the sun because they believe in nailing the basics with rock-solid consistency. And those basics are protein and creatine.
Momentous sources Creapure, the purest form of creatine monohydrate available, an absolute must for both men and women who want peak physical and cognitive performance.

I do.
Isn't it like, yeah, I do. Do you know?
Oh, it does?
I'm going to read that chapter. That's the chapter I did not read.
A skyscraper. What's the point? So this idea, why did he do the idea of doing this Misogi? Yeah. Yeah. It was basically picking one thing a year that you're doing that is something that you think you have a 50% chance of actually completing basically. It's like a super hard challenge.
What's the purpose of it?
It's the concept of doing hard things to show and prove to yourself that you can do hard things. So it gives you the confidence to do something again or different.
How badass is that?
And they just like one day an animal was like, hey, I'm going to try to fly. I got this. And then they just started flying.
Like maybe one day one of them will. So can one day a human could just try to fly? Why don't you just go outside and try to fly? Have you tried?
You think so?
Do you think humans are going to be able to fly one day?
Like what?
Yeah, I guess I just... It's limitless to what we can actually achieve.
So is the idea that this place tells people that they need to choose and pick a Misogi every year so they can then not feel limited by anything and get rid of limited beliefs of themselves?
What am I doing? That's so scary.
