My ideal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My ideal playground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My ideal playground and environment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Part gym<\/li>
  2. Part coffee shop<\/li>
  3. Part all-you-can-way buffet<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In this environment we can deadlift, squat, lift, think, write, read, and recover. And for breaks, we walk around the city and shoot photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Imagine if you took a powerlifting gym and combined it with an Equinox, Las Vegas buffet, and library-coffee shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"barbell<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t trust the verbally lofty literature of a scrawny person<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"Selfie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    We all desire more strength and power. Would you trust the lofty words and poetry of a Hercules, or of a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153skinny fat\u00e2\u20ac\u009dand emaciated (wimpy) academic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The high I get after completing (or attempting) a one rep max<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    After a new PR (personal record) in any of my lifts, I get this extreme high. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a feeling of being a demigod, where you literally feel invincible and super-human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"
    Today I squatted 325 pounds (once)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    What I then do is channel this energy and insanely great physiological high I get and work on art, writing (as I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing now), making photos, walking, thinking, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Bodily strength as the first mover. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    First strengthen the body (powerlift, eat lots of meat, sleep a ton), then everything else will follow. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
