For a long time, I was very curious why there was a certain \u00e2\u20ac\u0153look\u00e2\u20ac\u0153, to weight lifters, bodybuilders, or powerlifters; it seems that the trend is if one wants to be perceived as a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153serious\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 weightlifter, one must use the wraps, a weightlifting belt, wrist wraps, and other paraphernalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps the reason why people are so confused by me, and how insanely strong I am is because I do not look the part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nassim Taleb said something very very funny in antifragile<\/em>; better to trust the surgeon who looks like a butcher, rather than the surgeon in the lab coat. Peter Thiel said something similar; better to trust a businessman entrepreneur who wears a T-shirt and jeans, rather than the empty suit who wears a full on suit and tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why? The individual with real potency, capability and skills who doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look the part, but can still do the thing is probably more effective and shows some sort of deep mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, it seems that at least for women who want to be perceived as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153serious and committed\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 yogis, they must wear<\/em> Lululemon \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the legging tights etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or also how people are insanely confused seeing me doing such epic yoga poses, and then proceeding to lift over nine plates on the squat rack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, maybe this is why there is a trend in rap and rap music to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153look\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 like a rapper, which means having lots of tattoos, fancy chains and jewelry, etc. It is difficult to imagine a rapper who doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look like a rapper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
