Pre-game rituals

Jake has turned smoothie-making into performance art. While I’m over here doing basic stretches on my yoga mat, he’s measuring out three different protein powders like he’s conducting a chemistry experiment.

I counted - he used seven ingredients in that thing. Seven. Meanwhile I grabbed a banana and called it breakfast prep.

The funniest part is watching him get increasingly focused as the blender noise drowns out my attempts at conversation.

This is his pre-gym meditation, apparently. Who am I to interrupt a man and his perfectly calibrated macros?

Twenty minutes later we’ll both be sweating through the same workout, but somehow his elaborate ritual makes him feel more prepared than my five-minute stretch routine. Different strokes, I guess. At least one of us is taking the nutrition part seriously.
