For strength, optimize for your legs. This means that whenever you have the chance to work out, given that you have limited time, or limited energy, always optimize your legs. The first day is always squat day, or dead lift day.

Why your legs? Wear short shorts, and it is best to flex off your legs and your thighs, instead of your upper body and arms.

Legs are everything. For example, even when you’re judging bodybuilders or powerlifters, or you want to ascertain the strength of someone, first judge their legs.

Better to ask somebody who is buff, how much can you squat? Or how much can your dead lift? Instead of how much they could bench.

Even very practical things: carrying baby Seneca on my chest with the ergo baby carrier, and walking around all day. Having minimalistic shark shoes, L run slipper water shoes are best.

Also, my theory on how to improve your strength, physiology, mood, and outlook in life starts in the legs. Either strive to walk 30,000 steps today, or strive to do a four plate squat, or a five plate dead lift. I’ve never met anybody who walks 30,000 steps a day who is depressed, and I have never met somebody who could deadlift 5 plates who has anxiety.
