Heart Rate Monitors and Basic Aerobic Fitness - https://www.8weeksout.com/ Episode 48 with Larry Lindenman Max heart rate = 220 - your age ( This is only a rule of thumb, to know for sure have your doctor run a VO2 Max test).

Ep. 59 Kyle Rittenhouse - Acquitted on All Charges! - Lessons learned
This does not constitute legal advice, Eric and Aaron on not lawyers nor claim to provide this information for that purpose. This is for discussion sake. If you have legal questions please consult with legal counsel in your jurisdiction. Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges! This is a victory for liberty the 2nd Amendment and self defense law. We believe that Kyle being charged at all was an injustice, as even a cursory understanding of the law of self defense and the evidence available in video shows cut and dry self defense. We go over some lessons learned for all of us to consider. You must have this book if you are serious about self-defense and staying out jail and the poor house (to use Tom Givens phrase): The Law of Self Defense by Andrew Branca Some legal defense service memberships to consider per discussion on show: https://armedcitizensnetwork.org/ CCWSafe Use code: KC10OFF at CCWSAFE.com/Keepers USCCA Check out our awesome sponsors: Please subscribe and share our podcast with friends and family.

Ep. 54 EvoSec Gear and Mindset Bonus Episode - Defensive Use of Firearms, Rifle Slings and Shot Timers
This show Eric and Aaron Davis start a new series of bonus shows where they talk Gear and Mindset. We all love gear, in other words "Hardware," yet we know it's low on the priority list when we look at the hierarchy of surviving violent encounters. That said we still love gear and know our audience loves gear as well. We will primarily talk about gear that supports us on The Path but will reserve the right to simply talk about cool guns and knives as well. Furthermore we will equally talk about ways to support building your mindset and gear that aids in this as well. Ultimately it is mindset that is the most important "software." Defensive use of firearms in the US: Most people would be flabbergasted at how many times a year individuals use firearms to save their lives or the lives of others. Miraculously, the majority of the time the trigger doesn't have to be pulled. In the show the crew discuss an astounding article by John Lott There Are Far more defensive gun uses than murders. Here is why you rarely hear of them. Ben Shapiro Podcast mentioned by Aaron on the show: Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying Slings: The sling is to the rifle as the holster is to the pistol. Some of our favorites as discussed on the show.

Ep 30 Paul Sharp - More expert perspective on the current state of Law Enforcement and Policing.
Paul Sharp of Straight Blast Gym Illinois and Sharp Defense comes on the show to provide some additional much needed perspective on the current anti-police sentiment, the state of Law Enforcement and the current riots. Paul is a veteran Elgin Illinois police officer, a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and is a preeminent expert on multidisciplinary and integrated martial arts under the Shivworks Collective. Paul hits on some history around previously used police weaponry and tactics in the 30-40s such as full auto BARs, military L-ambushes, and more,, yet the current attitude towards police is that they are too militarized. Paul picks that myth and many more apart and provides some insight into his training philosophy and his incredible work ethic in the gym. Paul shows us that he is a true lover of music and the EvoSec crew closes out the show with their accountability and the drill of the week. https://www.sbgillinois.com/ www.evosec.org EvoSec Drill of the week. From 5 yards, 2 IDPA targets 3 feet apart. String 1- Draw and fire 1 shot in T1 and one shot into T2. Sting-2 Same drill except 2 shots on T1 and T2.. String 3- Repeat but with 3 shots on each T1 and T2. Total up all three times, and add 1 sec added for any points down on the target.

Ep 29 Chuck Haggard – Needed Perspective on Law Enforcement
This week we are blessed to have Marshal Chuck Haggard of Agile Training and Consulting on the show. He is a 30 year veteran of both law enforcement and the military, and is a well-known subject matter expert in police use of force. Chuck provides some much needed perspective and expert analysis of the current events to include the tragic killing of George Floyd by a now charged rogue police officer. He hits on the current riots and the history of similar riots in the 60s, along with the movement to defund the police and the possible impact if this were to occur. On a lighter note the interview moves to one of Chuck's other areas of expertise and that is the efficacy and use of oleoresin capsicum spray (OC pepper spray). "I would invite anyone who thinks its easy to arrest someone who doesn't want to be arrested to put handcuffs on someone who doesn't want to go with them, check in at their local Jiu-Jitsu Dojo and try some Jiu-Jitsu. If you've never done it before, you will quickly find that even though you are rolling with another white belt, its not as easy as you might think. And you're in a setting where you both agree not to hurt each other and are training with an agreed on set of rules." Essentially, if you haven't even done that, you have little perspective to critique law enforcement on the use of force and how you would do it better. You simply don't know what you don't know. Chuck provides some excellent commentary so DONT MISS IT!
