Yeah, I remember Task Force was handing out Metrix.

Remember Metrix?

It was like... Was it a bar?

It was like a protein powder.

And it was in these big packets.

It was meal replacement, but it had a lot of protein in it.

And everybody was doing Rippets and Metrix protein.

And it was kind of like the beginning of this craze over supplements.

But all the guys that were on these, they were like red bottles.

And there was like a small version of it, a medium version, and it had creatine.

I know some of it became illegal, but it was like 1AD or something like that.

Anyways, everybody was on it.

And it was near...

anabolic steroids kind of thing and everybody was getting jacked but again they couldn't perform a 6k offset they couldn't get through a workout of the day and crossfit and functional fitness was just coming on board jim jones was just coming on board and nobody could get through those workouts and i i had the realization like

being in a fire base for nine months in Afghanistan, where we didn't have good food, that you had to adapt to that environment and you couldn't supplement everything.

And then whatever you got to baseline, if you could still perform, well, then you were functionally fit, you know?

There was a weird time in special operations, probably in 07, 08, 09, where dudes were just yoked and it hurt us.

It hurt the task force as a whole.

Dude, whoever put that Rippet contract in Task Force got a lot of bad guys killed because dudes were jacked up on caffeine and just running around... Pallets of those things.

Dude.
