JUST PULL IT

Video

Yeah!

For example ,,,  you would not want to be the world’s most muscular and glorious demigod body if you only got two hours of sleep a night, and felt like you were physiologically dying, and had very low testosterone. 

Similarly speaking, it wouldn’t matter if you were like the worlds strongest man, you could lift like 100,000 pounds or whatever, but, once again, you had naturally low mood, low testosterone, and once again only slept two hours a night?

New visions

So one random thought I have in regards to fitness is the criticality of sleep and recovery.

For example, I think I have a simple antidote, to reset your circadian rhythm, or sleep patterns, for dinner, the night prior, eat a shit load of beef ribs.

Why beef ribs?

First, ancient Greek literature, the Iliad confirms this.  For example, when Achilles had his friends joined him in his hut, he carved out the backbone of the ox, often prized, the most choice meat.

Also, it is easily accessible, you could find it at any Costco, even Food 4 Less. Even with the price of inflation, it is still affordable, around 499 a pound, or 449 a pound.

The easiest way to cook it

I found a very very simple recipe, just take a baking tray and cover it with aluminum foil, and you don’t even have to season the ribs or prepare them, just put them directly on the aluminum foil, heat the oven at 325°, let it cook for an hour and a half, and boom you’re done! And then later you could just coat it with some salt pepper and garlic powder, and smoked paprika is actually good too.

Anyways, after consuming about two trays of beef ribs, I’ve been sleeping way better, like on average another two or three hours a night, which I feel at least 500% better in the morning?

Waking up early is not virtuous

The weird idea is in a lot of self improvement circles is that waking up super early every day, at like 3:30 AM or for whatever is considered virtuous. No. I would actually say that the ultimate virtue and active mainlines is to try to secure at least 8 to 12 hours of sleep a night.

Why? Simple biology; assuming that during the day you are doing some sort of physical exercise and weightlifting, then what that then means is that the corresponding rest and recovery time will also be in similar accordance.

Also, a simple thoughts; the stronger you become the heavier way to lift, you must also correspondingly spend equal amounts of time stretching, warming up etc.

For example on the road to hitting my legendary thousand pound Atlas lift, all of these low testosterone guys would always tell me “be careful”, which was their strange way of trying to feel superior to me that they thought I was doing something foolish in which I actually might injure myself?

The simple idea that I have is once again, obviously! The higher weight you go, the more careful you become. And my personal way of mitigating safety was simple; spending at least two or three times more effort stretching warming up, doing dynamic exercise exercises like a bunch of yoga stuff on steroids.

And this is where a lot of fools also don’t understand; when that would be warming up for my really really heavy weight lifts, I would also do a lot of calisthenics that looks like I would just do a single muscle up to warm up, planches etc. 

A hybrid model is best

So currently my practical thought is the best car or vehicle to own in LA, maybe anywhere in Southern California, maybe even America is probably a white Toyota plug-in Prius prime. Why?

First, once again you want to have the best of all worlds! For example, when you become dumb rich, it ain’t about showing off, rather, it is about adding more convenience to your life.

For example, you want maximum optionality. What that means is you want to have access to gasoline pumps when necessary, and also you want to have access to electric charging ports when also available. But you don’t want to be dependent on either. 

Once again, do you want to have the optional not the dependence.

A radical thought

So I just finished reading principles of economics by Saifedean, and one really really fascinating idea I encountered is this idea that perhaps, what if a lot of these doomsday Colts were simply predicated on false science math and philosophical principles?

For example, just ChatGPT; what percentage of the earths crust has been mined for oil, and it will spit out an absurdly tiny number.

Also all this hysteria when it comes to carbon dioxide and carbon footprint whatever; also once again, just ChatGPT the percentage of carbon in the earths atmosphere, compared to nitrogen which is about 70%, oxygen which is about 20%, and carbon which I think is like .01%?

Anyways, I think the biggest issue here is that almost 99.9999% of all these doomsday cults is that once again, the world is going to shit, and it is precisely because we are boiling the earth, carbon footprint, running out of oil etc.

But what if I could tell you, that with 100% certainty that human beings will be fine for the next hundred million years on planet earth, and even at the rate we are going, we have only tapped .001% of the earths natural gas and oil supply, in that, we would never run out of natural minerals even for the next hundred billion years?

Certainly I cannot make this prediction but this is a thought experiment. If this were the case, then what?

Strange

 anyways, the reason why I think this is important is that even though I am 100% fan of Tesla Elon Musk, the truth is, getting an electric vehicle or a Tesla is more about fashion rather than saving the planet or whatever.

Even an ancient Taoist philosophy says this;

How dare you have the audacity to think that somehow the planet needs your help?

I think there are virtues to arrogance, but also, the arrogant line of thinking that somehow the Earth needs our help, is also an arrogant thought?

Visions

Sandbox thinking

So currently I really really like this idea of a sandbox. The general idea is that what if we lived in the world in which we had unlimited time unlimited resources, essentially god mode, then how would we proceeded and live life?

 first, I think 99.9999% of the current modern-day misery that most humans face is body poverty.

It don’t matter if you make seven figures or eight figures at Google, at Apple, Meta or Facebook whatever; it seems that almost all these people that I know who work in tech, all of them have extreme bodily poverty?

Once again, not enough time weightlifting, too much time jerking off to VR porn, or going on Reddit late at night, with incognito browser on, or their VPN on with pirate bay, whatever it may be.

Also, not enough meat consumption. All of these bizarre virtues signaling folks with plant-based diets whatever.

Also once again, this anti-sleep mentality, the strange idea that sleeping is a vice?

Other thoughts

I find everybody on all sides of the political spectrum bad.

Republicans and Democrats are bad, Libertarians are bad, moderates are bad etc.

The left the right the alt left the alt right whatever. 

Independent.

I don’t know any independent thinkers. All thinkers are dependent on others, nobody stands on their own two feet. I think currently the only independent thinkers that I appreciate and love include Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Kanye West, Jeff Bezos, Michael Saylor, NASSIM Taleb etc. But once again, these individuals are good role models but not the end in itself.

For example you could spend 100,000 years studying Elon Musk but the truth of the matter is you do not want to become Elon Musk. Why? The critical issue here is he has extreme body poverty until you see him topless on a yacht, with a golden bronze tan, and a six pack, don’t follow him.

In some ways Jeff Bezos might be a better guide, look at him, he’s so fucking jacked. But then again I’m pretty sure that Bezos is on the juice, I’m sure he trains good, but he also does steroids good.

Michael Saylor is a good example, he knows the virtues of intermittent fasting, and at the age of 59 he looks great! But I also think that maybe he could get into weightlifting; I want to see a sleeveless Michael Saylor with huge guns. MSTR FOLKS email me at Eric@erickim.com for tips

Simple training

So some simple training ideas:

First, killing 10 birds with one stone.

What that means is just go on a morning walk around town, with your 60 pound weight vest on! Titan.fitness is good 

Also, a very simple thing you could do is just get those wooden gymnast rings, you get on Amazon or Titan fitness, and just hook it up in your garage or backyard your front lawn, on a tree, your parking spot whatever ,,, and with your 60 pound weighted vest on, just do a few ups dips, “skin the cat”, Essentially an exercise in which you’re holding the rings you do kind of a backflip and un backflip it again, planches etc. 

Workouts for people in a hurry

Currently I think actually one of the most underrated exercises is the rack pull. Essentially, you rack your barbell at around waist level, and then you load it up with weights, and then you kind of do like a mini hip thrust, and you just get it off the rack for like half an inch and you’re done.

Imagine like doing like a super mini deadlift, but it is far superior because you don’t have to deal with racking and unracking the weights annoyingly off the floor, and also, the transfer injury is almost nailed because there is not much load on your lower back. A rack pull is more like a hip thrust, meets thigh exercise, meets upper back and trap exercise? 

Another very simple one is the Atlas lift, once again, you don’t have to squat all the way down. You just rack up the weight, like you’re doing a squad, and the only goal is to just lift it up half an inch.

For the fools who say this don’t do nothing, I have like the most insanely jacked legs thighs calves quads of all time and once again I’m not on steroids.

The reason why you should trust no fitness influencer

It don’t matter if they are vegan plant-based, professional or whatever, everyone is on steroids! Even your favorite vegan power lifter and weightlifter is on steroids! Even your favorite yoga instructor or calisthenics or CrossFit instructor is also on steroids.

Note, steroids are vegan! Ha ha.

All bodies are the same

My massage therapist Aaron at massage envy in Beverly Hills, 100% recommended, told me something interesting that all body mechanics are pretty much the same, but the only difference is our levels of fitness.

Also he encouraged me that because I am so physically active, to once again, the more physically active you become, the more time you must also dedicate to stretching mobility work etc.

Why this matters

As an investor, you need to have big balls and high testosterone, good mood, good sleep, good physiological and mental health.

The primary issue is that a lot of these degenerate traders, have very very poor physical and physiological health. If you’re checking prices like 100 times a day, this is bad.

The stoic Spartan investor

I would actually make the argument if you’re like a single person, and assuming that you’re trading bitcoin and investing a micro strategy stock whatever, the intelligence strategy is if you want to get your mind off things, invest in your physical fitness and health 10x.

What that then means is like spend maximum time outside, outdoors, walking outside in the elements, go on nice hikes, be a nature, spend some time with the gym or weightlifting at home, essentially embrace a natural lifestyle.

Also, quit marijuana, alcohol. These are all bad toxins. Just be sober.

Greater exercise greater rest & recovery

NEW PASSIONS

Public fitness?

The idea and thought:

You require battle and damage in order to grow ever stronger?

A very fascinating idea:

What if we should actually desire attacks and downsides and down turns, and “pull downs” or “draw downs” in order to reach epic new heights?

Seek battle?

The best driver behind anything

Carbon in the Earth’s atmosphere is primarily present as carbon dioxide (CO₂). The percentage of carbon in the atmosphere can be understood by examining CO₂’s concentration:

1. Carbon Dioxide Concentration:

As of recent measurements, the concentration of COâ‚‚ in the atmosphere is about 0.041% (or 410 parts per million).

2. Carbon in COâ‚‚:

Carbon makes up roughly 27.3% of the molecular weight of COâ‚‚.

3. Percentage of Carbon in the Atmosphere:

By multiplying the COâ‚‚ concentration by the percentage of carbon in the molecule:

.

So, the percentage of carbon in the Earth’s atmosphere is approximately 0.0112%.

,,

The Earth’s atmosphere is made up of a mix of gases, with nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) making up the vast majority. Here’s a breakdown of the primary components and the “other stuff”:

Main Atmospheric Gases:

1. Nitrogen (Nâ‚‚): ~78.08%

2. Oxygen (Oâ‚‚): ~20.95%

3. Argon (Ar): ~0.93%

4. Carbon Dioxide (COâ‚‚): ~0.041% (varies slightly due to human activity and natural processes)

Other Gases and Trace Components (“Other Stuff”):

1. Neon, Helium, Methane, Krypton, Hydrogen: These combined make up ~0.0018%.

2. Water Vapor (Hâ‚‚O): Varies significantly by location, altitude, and weather, but typically ranges from 0.2% to 4% of the atmosphere by volume.

Summary of “Other Stuff”:

When you exclude nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide:

• Trace gases (including methane, neon, etc.): ~0.0018%.

• Water vapor: Highly variable but can be significant in humid regions.

Thus, the “other stuff” (excluding the main gases) is typically less than 1-4% of the atmosphere, depending on conditions.

The exact percentage of the Earth’s crust that has been mined or drilled for oil is difficult to calculate, but it is a very small fraction of the Earth’s total crust. Here’s an estimate based on geological considerations:

1. The Earth’s crust:

• The crust’s total volume is estimated to be around 6 billion cubic kilometers.

• Oil exploration and extraction only target specific sedimentary basins where oil reserves are concentrated, which make up about 5% of the Earth’s crust.

2. Mined oil volume:

• Since the late 19th century, humans have extracted roughly 2 trillion barrels of oil (~320 billion cubic meters).

• Comparing this to the Earth’s crust volume, the oil extracted is less than 0.000000005% of the crust’s volume.

Even when considering the entire volume of rock affected by oil exploration (including wells, drilling zones, and reservoirs), the percentage of the crust impacted remains infinitesimally small. Most oil exploration occurs within the upper few kilometers of the crust, within specific oil-bearing regions.

It’s not really about pollution per se, but things which will sustain continue to last — we need to define “sustainability “ more rigorous definition of it.

Bitcoin is the ultimate 100% sustainable thing

Why? Because it will last forever! Isn’t this obvious?

think durability and longevity

To sustain means to continue;

so a big idea I have is that apart from these doomsday cults, maybe even Elon Musk included… what if the true physical reality was we would never run out of resources even if we minded it for like 100 million years?

GO RED!

Can’t stop won’t stop !!!

Saylor is now 59 years old

The shares have climbed 60% since the Nov. 5 election,

Since trump victory MSTR is up 60%— November 5th

Since Trump’s victory, it’s all been up and to the right. Bitcoin is up about 41% and BlackRock’s ETF has climbed 39%. Gensler is preparing to leave the SEC, and Trump has picked deregulation advocate and former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins to replace him.

A week before the election, MicroStrategy announced in its quarterly earnings release a plan to raise $42 billion over three years. That included a stock sale of up to $21 billion through financial firms including TD Securities and Barclays, opening up that much more liquidity for bitcoin purchases.

Saylor told CNBC it was “probably the single most important earnings call in the history of the company.”

Bodily Joy, physical physiological joy?
