ben’s day.

• Non-lifting days
  21 minutes on the Vasper

  blood-flow-restriction exercise with cold-water cooling and an oxygen breathing unit, full body.

• Then
  20 minutes of small-muscle work

  glute medius, piriformis, psoas, iliacus, balance work and big-toe flexor training.

• Then
  A hot sauna with yoga and push-ups

  twenty minutes “as hot as possible,” doing a barefoot yoga flow and push-ups, then electrolytes (about 500 mg sodium, 100 mg potassium, 30 mg magnesium, no sugar).

• 7 am
  The family huddle

  everyone gathers in the living room or on the patio: how did you sleep, what’s on today, who’s making what for dinner, then a 5–10 minute devotional reading.

• In the huddle
  ACTS prayer, then silence

  he leads a prayer in four parts (adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication), then pauses about 30 seconds in silence.

• Planned in the huddle
  The same workout as his sons

  he programs the family’s training; he and his sons follow one plan and fix the time together each morning.

• Through the week
  Variety over one routine

  “I walk, I play pickleball, I play tennis, I play disc golf and regular golf occasionally. I lift weights, I do kettlebells.”

• Dinner
  Potluck-style family dinner

  a book read and discussed together, singing, a prayer, then everyone brings out the dish they made.

• At the table
  Games with dinner

  quick games on busy nights, longer ones like Scrabble, Ticket to Ride or Canasta when there’s time.

• In bed
  Prayer with his wife

  “The very last thing I do in bed before I fall asleep is my wife and I pray together.”
