The grass is greener on the other side, but that’s just the lighting

Master the art of being alone, and you’ll never feel like it again

The hardest movement- walking away when it’s time

Anyone truly unique is going to have to stand alone

It’s all fun and games until you actually try to get to the root cause of your issues 

The feeling you get after a long hard day of work is a high unlike any other

Most companies dirty secret is they have to hire as fast as they’re people quit

The best way to find out who someone really is:
Take away everything they know and see what they want first

The Best punch line is being able to say “told ya so” 

When shit takes longer than expected just take extra notes and call yourself a philosopher 

Bad guys are more concerned with looking cool rather than their actual job 

Christians at Chick-fil-A are is equally fucked as the hood rats at McDonald’s

The Dragon comes out when you can’t have your carbs when you’re hungry 

God help you if you forget the wrong persons ranch… 

The real dragon is when you cannot feed the artist ego 

Wisdom is knowing all miles are NOT equal 

When a punishment becomes protocol, then it becomes good training 

Train long enough and you can tell who else is counting your reps

High fructose corn syrup is a drug,
not a nutrient

Natural foods allow your body to more properly digest and regulate the energy you get from them

Processed foods force your metabolism to act differently than it would usually prefer

Crackers & tuna are super cheap and as “clean” as snacking can get really

When they say most food is processed / poisoned
They’re mostly talking about fast(ish) restaurant food
It’s often the lowest quality food served that is dressed up with the most powerful spices and seasonings 

Wisdom is know not to think about what the seat Has seen 💺

If you care about strength and numbers, and you’re not resting at least 3 to 5 minutes between your sets, then you are leaving a lot of money on the table

you’ll stay mostly zone 2 on A good hyp day
Excluding the times when you poke into zone 3+ during failure 

If you’re really just working the muscle, then your nervous system won’t work as hard

But your digestive/ storing systems will

You’re not going to have a good mind vs muscle connection until the athlete phase
FYI 

If you get 3x12 without failure then you’re just doing conditioning 

Wisdom is knowing to grab the open towels instead of fucking with the dispenser

If it feels like it needs to pop- don’t listen to it

Friendly reminder that all the activist skip Fridays
And all the amateurs skip Saturdays
Athletes skip Sundays
Artist never skipped
Adepts skip the whole weekend 

Wisdom is knowing planet fitness has the best machines
And the least consistent crowds

water weight is the primary aesthetic nemesis 

And you don’t know hell until you started depleting your water for looks 

Ain’t nothing worse than being dehydrated and dumped and dunked on all in the same week 

If you have not stretched recently, then I guarantee you that you are tighter than you need to be 
Then you could be 

Breathing is the gateway into awareness and movement management

If you can control your breathing, then you can control your response to resistance

If you can control your breathing, you can control your mind
If you can control your mind, you will control your body just fine

Honestly, jiu-jitsu is far more impressive than being able to use the force with your mind 
Because of how hard jiu-jitsu is to learn


Also from a strength efficiency perspective you’re going to be a lot better in the cold and tire less quickly


Salt & sugar will have you feeling right as rain or absolutely insane
No inbetween

The physiological health consequences of resentment and anger manifest as biological stress energy- in the form of body fat.
Visceral fat being the most dangerous if it accumulates too much. 

If you’ve “seen some shit” then you can see who else has too sadly lol

Crackers & tuna are super cheap and as “clean” as snacking can get really

Never underestimate the black yoga pants
Insert your own reason why

A good snack can increase anyone’s faith

Numbers can say more than words
Not the other way around

Not all obesity is the same just like not all weight training is the same

ADHD is an off shoot of depression
Part of depression is chemical imbalance or rather lack of chemical production
The other part is behavioral and trauma based 

When waiting for food, the best technique is to alternate what you stare at every 13 seconds or so 
So it did not look like an impatient little shit

Athletes max out machines
Artists repurpose machines
Adepts create machines 

Cycles only move in one direction

Inspiration usually comes as a kick in the ass

Just find something long and stiff to get nice and loose 

Having a mission to complete is far more meaningful than the alternative  

Mistakes are cute during the learning phase but Mistakes are cut throat during the burning phase 

If someone looks like a pig, it’s probably because they behave like one when nobody’s watching 

If the conditions are controlled, but the outcome is not, it is a game 

Hunger cravings are not the same as nutritional needs…. 

The road to greatness must be routed through humble-Ville
Otherwise shit gets nasty

Rule number 724 never fuck with the people who handle your food 

99/100 Salt is a miracle drug if you have a headache 

Remember TRT takes your balls 

Meeting the right people only happens organically

If it makes you go “errrrggg” with exertion than that is type 2A or zone five

Attrition rate says it all 

If you can do 30 reps of something, then you got it down muscle wise 

You’ll register as any one (or multiple) of a whole host of emotional disorders if you don’t have your carbs when you need them

Crackers and hot sauce make everything better
Just Ask any sketchy rundown diner

Acceptance is a good way to shut the ego up, but it usually requires a heavy lift 

Bodybuilding will turn anyone into a makeshift chemist 

Spiritual intuition can be a better father than most dads, 
and I assert all single mother athletes as evidence

when your unconscious energy is all fucked up then your conscious energy is gonna be confused as hell

You shouldn’t care about how chiseled your trainer is 
You should just care more about their social awareness and ego management

But if your trainer is chiseled as a diamond,
at least you know what they’re doing is recent.
And at least you know that what they’re saying has a higher likelihood of being truthful.
And most importantly, it is higher likelihood that they do practice what they preach.
As Practicing what you preach is extremely important even if you’re preaching something stupid

Modern day lifting calculus:
If seed oils delay recovery .01%
But a single exercise session increases recovery by 1% ;
Is the candy with the seed oils worth it if it gives you an amazing workout (& emotional satisfaction)?
My answer is almost always yes 

Sidenote, if you can stay cold, most of the time, your body has to naturally warm itself so you will produce more internal vitamin D because of the light within your cells
This is why redheads don’t die when they spend nine months in a cold cave 

Also having a belly full of meat when it’s cold and wet outside is spiritually satisfying
Trust me

The downside to having long-term studies is it takes a while to dunk on people 
and honestly what’s more important right? 

So friendly reminder, 
if you don’t know that most breads have some kind of seed oil involved in it

And on that note
Just about anything out of a box or bag has oils

If you feed a kid nothing but processed crap for 10 years then they’ll be in a perfect position to begin to fall apart as they begin to build themselves up for puberty

Friendly reminder, that seed oils might not damage you directly but overtime damage your body‘s ability to operate at its best

Generally speaking, you don’t get cancer unless you outlive heart disease first

And the trick nowadays is to come up with some new healthy sounding oil because there are some oils that are not the worst.

Muscle focus training-
You never really know how many sets you’re gonna need 
It’s best to start counting when it starts hurting 
Angles for bracing and leverage points matter the most to be able to push to and through failure

Fueling matters a hell of a lot too 
Because you might fail just because you didn’t eat as many carbs on Wednesday as you did on Monday 
Or you didn’t sleep enough 
Or you did something else slightly off in your training

Movement focus training-
Really doesn’t matter how many sets you do, all that matters was your best one 
The primary goal is just to build or maintain performance abilities 
Bonus points if you happen to look like you’re in shape too 
Motivation matters most here 
And the training itself is far more mental than physical
