Lifting 30 pounds overhead, like a suitcase, can be approximated by certain exercises.

◐Partially SupportedPeter Attia uses the 'centenary decathlon goals' to help patients deconstruct desired physical activities in their last decade into specific movement and physiological requirements.

◐Partially SupportedPrioritizing static stability training first, followed by dynamic stability training, is recommended for strength development.

◐Partially SupportedPeter Attia aims to retain cognitive faculties, including executive function, processing speed, and memory, to a high level by age 100.

◐Partially SupportedPeter Attia's exercise framework includes stability, strength, aerobic performance, and anaerobic output.

◐Partially SupportedStability is the first component of fitness to decline with age.

◐Partially SupportedChildren naturally perform innate movements perfectly by around 1.5 years of age, before a decline begins.

◐Partially SupportedPeter Attia's current training focuses exclusively on tasks related to his 'Centenarian Decathlon' goals.

◐Partially SupportedDynamic neuromuscular stabilization is based on approximately 13-14 innate human movements performed perfectly by 1.5 years of age.

✕Not SupportedIncorrect squatting and deadlifting technique, specifically failure to engage the pelvic floor, can cause damage.

◐Partially SupportedPeter Attia has identified 18 specific activities, termed the 'Centenarian Decathlon,' that he wants to be able to perform at age 100, including simple activities of daily living like getting up off the floor.

◐Partially SupportedThe goblet squat requires both strength and stability.
