The new way:
Deadlifts are for suckas! How I zen the fuck out:
Better to just use an iPad Pro instead, no stupid keyboard or pencil. If you actually need to do desktop computing work, maybe it is best to just get a Mac mini with an M2 chip, and get an uber ergonomic set up, with a trackball mouse, a Kinesis ergonomic keyboard, a standing desk, and…

The ultimate hype:
No more deadlifts:
And so are you.
Also, so many new discoveries to be made, myths to be debunked, more critical knowledge to be innovated, etc. For example, crushing and upending this insanely nonsensical notion about calories. Also, more critical thinking on food diet health and nutrition. In praise of a 100% carnivore diet. Also, in the context of techniques, approaches, and…
The web, the Internet.
Motivation. What is motivation, where does it come from, and also, what is the physiology behind it? Motivation means to move Motivation, motus, motor, movement. Motivation literally means movement. This is an interesting intervention, because, people think that they need motivation in order to do something. I say on the contrary, while you are doing…
Or in other words, how to become yourself.
What do you desire to achieve in your life, this one life, while you live this life? In other words, when you’re on your deathbed, what are things you do not want to die before, knowing that there are certain things you wanted to try and attempt, but left undone?
The ultimate lift for hype: 695 POUND RACK PULL 7 45-pound plates, and a 10 on each side:
The first thought is utilize all of your Apple devices. Use your iPad, your iPhone, and your MacBook laptop to review your photos. Just use apple photos to keep everything synced. Second, quickly just upload all your photos as extra small JPEG‘s to your WordPress blog. And just post them as mega blog posts with…
Today at the gym, doing heavy rack pulls (6 plates, 7 plates and beyond)— she says to me, “Wow, that’s a lot of weight!” Lesson — If you want to pick up girls at the gym, perhaps the best strategy is to just lift insanely heavy!
Video Podcast Audio First of all, one gym session, one lift. At most, do two. A way you can pair it is doing a very heavy rack pull (7 plates, and a 10), and then do a floor bench press afterwards (the pins are the same height!) Also, do a quick and efficient yoga-esque warmup.…

My critical massive annoyance with transfer speeds, uploading, etc.
Floor bench press off the power rack!
Even moving the weight a fraction of a centimeter is a success to me!
Because your body is the most precious and valuable, sacred and beautiful thing you got. Also, your body is a thing you always carry with you, anywhere and everywhere you go. You cannot bring your Lamborghini into the mall, nor can you bring your Lamborghini into the gym. Yet you could bring your body into…
Some of my favorite street photos:
As parents, we all want to make better photos of our kids. Some thoughts: First of all, shoot a lot. For myself, I should maybe 300 to 200 photos of Seneca a day, extra small JPEG on my Ricoh GR 3X digital camera. Second, macro mode. This means close focusing mode on your camera, focus…
A thought; only do certain types of weightlifting at the gym which involves standing. Rack pull, squat hold atlas lift. Also, practice walking with Vibram five finger shoes, or barefoot. My thought of a a lot of poor modern day posher comes from the fact that people wear shoes with soles in them.

Yes, you are important. Your thoughts, your ideas, your creative ideas, your innovations, etc. Your ideas can be a gift and a blessing to humankind. It is your duty to share these ideas, innovations with others. Why you are important First and foremost, I do not think human importance is a zero sum thing. I…
Huge shout out to Apple and the operating system team; do not disturb mode as one of the best innovations of all time. Perhaps it is a good idea to always be in do not disturb mode:
My prediction is that muscle, fitness, aesthetics in regards to the human body is the future. Funny enough, recently, I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on my physique, and how “lean“ I am. First and foremost, get a Ricoh GR 3X digital camera. Because it has no anti-aliasing filter, it is so insanely sharp,…
The upside of having kids.
Conquering insomnia is relatively straightforward. Some ideas and suggestions: First and foremost, do a hard caffeine stop after 12 o’clock noon, afternoon midday. I know there is a lot of people who say that caffeine doesn’t affect them, I think it still does. This means that after 12 o’clock noon, or 11 AM, stop drinking…
