The new way to lift:

Then why is it that there seems to be a bias that everyone must follow the same regimented proper “form“?

For example, the bench press. The problem is that there is generally only one position that the barbell is held on the bench press, and it cannot be adjusted. Even if it could be adjusted, everyone has different bodily proportion, in terms of arm length, leg length, torso length, back flexion, etc.

This is why it also seems silly to be too focused on “squatting at parallel,” — everyone has different bodily and leg proportions. The formation of their knee, their quadricep leg muscle, and also their calves and shin muscle.

Also, deadlift. This is why it seems to be a good innovation that they invented the sumo deadlifts form, which actually I find as superior to conventional form, as it allows superior leverages. Also it might be better for guys who are taller.

And even better innovation is the high handle trap bar, or open hex bar. Why? Once again, a bodily proportion thing. I am able to lift far more with a high handle open hex bar with a traditional barbell just at the floor.

Moral of the story: when it comes to lifting weights, or fitness related things, don’t follow any conventions. Experiment, tinker, Bricolage yourself into a supreme approach.

Another way I have been able to bench press over six plates, while doing it on the floor, slightly elevated. Better leverages, better arch and better ability to drive with my legs.

Back in ancient Greek times, the most prized bodily beauty was in the realm of men. Women are not even mentioned.

Nicole isn’t too sick some sort of satisfaction with things, but rather, to harness your forever implacability as your personal motivation and benefit.

The tricky thing is that we cannot really say who has the best “physique”, yet we can see who is objectively the strongest, based on the number weight of their one rep max pulls or lifts.

The nuance is that there is some sort of hierarchy. Certainly if you’re 400 pounds and 80% body fat, your physique will be less than somebody who is highly muscular, 6 foot tall, and 170 pounds at only 5% body fat.

One of the greatest festal joys of life is having a kid. Why is there a strange bias in today’s world that is anti-kid, pro pets, pro dogs? And pro cats?

Security as a stable launching pad to take even more epic risks?

For example, shoes which disable your ability to walk, are bad.

For example, forcing kids to stay indoors on a nice day seems cruel to me. Like school.

For example, getting kicked out of a gym, or even getting kicked out of a store. Or a mall.

Having the courage to break proper social decorum.

What you convey.

Straight legs, stand tall, back straight, chest puffed up, shoulders back. Head and chin up. Also walk slow.

Why? The underlying assumption that it has is with things, you can only buy or purchase things.

What is more real than the body? Specifically, your body?

If you don’t got a body, you cannot do anything.

The future of photography as LIDAR, iPad, and iPhone Pro?

Let us say that we have a passion for photography. What is it that we love?

First, I think we like to create, and do some thing visually artistic. Therefore, the first thing to consider is that the camera is an image creator thing. Something that facilitates us to go out into the world world, explore, and make images.

Secondly, it seems that we photographers like to just be out in the world, travel, explore new places, etc. Therefore, some sort of open world concept is good for us.

Can video work?

It seems that the new big avenue is video.

Currently speaking, I am very dismayed by the current world of photography. Nothing is really interesting. Even after perusing all the different cameras out there, they are all boring, not innovative.

What is the big issue here? It seems that all of these camera companies only work by analogy; what is drive to do is to take past designs and just iterate on them, rather than wiping the slate clean, and doing something totally brand new.

For example, why do modern day digital cameras still look like old film cameras?

Or better yet, let us consider car design. There is no really good reason why an electric car needs to look like an old gasoline car, considering there is no longer an engine either in the front or the back. This could allow some very interesting innovations. To design the front of an electric car simply as a “frunk“, seems boring.

Beef intestines is the future!

A problem I have been having with my Apple iCloud storage; I keep hitting the 2 TB limit. As a consequence, what I have been doing is going back to all the videos that I’ve shot and recorded and backed up to iCloud, to the Apple photos storage, the built-in one, and I just delete all of them.

For some reason, I think we have a fear of deleting our old photos, especially all of them in mass, with the fear that somehow we are “missing out“. However, maybe this carte blanche approach, a clean slate, is a good strategy to create new memories.

Similarly speaking, I might only check my email once every three or four months. And truth be told, when I went off the grid for almost 2 years in Vietnam, and didn’t check any messages, didn’t use email, didn’t check my email, I didn’t even have a phone or a phone plan, I only missed out on maybe one interesting opportunity, but even that opportunity ended up not being that interesting to me.

Therefore, when I do plan on using email, and I go back to my inbox, with my laptop, and the built-in Apple Mail app, I just select all the emails, and mass delete them, without looking at any of them. Similar speaking, whenever I go into my Gmail to clean it out, I will just select all, and just archive all. Blank slate.

Therefore, a simple thought; if you seek to create new memories, become you, advance yourself, evolve, perhaps deleting your past memories as a good idea.

Being stuck to the past is cowardly.

“Fucking c’est la vie!”

Or take on certain traits which are not you!

For example, the iPhone pro camera is not 1000 times better than the iPhone SE camera.

For example TESLA is probably 1000x better than any car or electric car company out there.

Also iPhone at least 1000x better than Android or any Samsung or other phone.

My simple heuristic and rule of thumb with things.

How to believe in photography again:

I can technically afford anything — the better question is whether I care for it or if it is “worth it” to me.
