Now I can die happy!

Just had an all-time new personal world record, 1005 pound one rep Max rack pull. Perhaps my most interesting and happy achievements of all time! Even happier than breaking the $2 million net worth mark!

This is the way

So the number one big secret is that the power is like literally 100% in your hips. And the really really interesting thing is when I was using that lift straps, and holding it just neutral, I actually got maximum engagement from my hips and triceps?

Dip belt for leverage

A big idea that I got was putting on my dip belt, and then using the chain to wrap it around really really close to the center of the barbell, which literally connects me fully to the barbell, which can allow me at the maximum leverage to do the rack pull.

to me I find this insanely fastening because for a long time I thought the atlas lift was the most efficient way to lift the weight, not anymore… The hips is the way.

Am I now pound for pound the strongest human being on the planet?

I’m around 5 foot 11, and I think I weigh around 160 or 165 pounds, at around 5% body fat. I don’t take steroids even protein powder, and do this all while intermittent fasting on just water and black coffee.

I would make the bold claim that perhaps… I may be pound for pound the strongest human being on the planet. I’m like the Bruce Lee of weightlifting.

My superpower is simply not being a lemming?

It is all via negativa; trust no weightlifter bodybuilder or fitness person who is on Instagram. They lemmings!

Another new heuristic: also… Maybe better to put faith in weightlifters who don’t work out at the gym, but their own private home gym? Why? Autotelic — nobody to impress but themselves.
