"What do I read about?"

That this question is asked is telling

The American mind is Epistemologically bankrupt

"To think" is to follow a top down narrative given by someone else.

Everything must be reduced to topical subjects, bullet points, top 10 lists, listicles
"Thoughts?" is considered a question that can be asked.

Not how what when where why, just "thoughts".

Give me "thoughts".
Maybe its because my audience has gradually begin to skew younger, or because I have gotten older, but I continuously receive questions now in which the person asking, usually a young man, he does not KNOW how to ask a question.
"thoughts?" is popular. Or stating a subject, and then awkwardly asking to "talk about it".

So often, the questions sounds as if they were literally typing them into a search bar
Young Minds have not been taught HOW, only what to think

The American education model of forced reading and memorization for the sake of standardized testing, and the decline of teaching critical thinking...
along with the abandonment of Western Canon, and the Woke takeover (and soon to be coming Critical Race Theory takeover)

Its a growing failure.
America is mass producing idiots

Perhaps this sounds blackpilled, but it is reality

When standards decline, a society declines, and the very concept of standards and merit is being removed from education itself.
A society that does not read will never be free. It is a society of slaves.

The biggest physical decline isn’t losing strength or muscle, or even speed

It’s the slower RECOVERY

This usually happens around 40-45

Workouts that would left you sore for a day, suddenly it’s 3 days and you feel it in your joints more than ever
I make this point often, you must be Intelligent with your training

meaning what exactly?

Meaning it becomes imperative that your exercise selection, your overall training volume, and your overall workouts, everything has a clear purpose
Don’t do exercises that grind your joints

Don’t be a gym warrior and do DUMB workouts to burn yourself out

Training more isn’t automatically better

so long as you can continue training as hard as you can, with appropriate recovery, you’re not going to feel the decline

5 Odd Facts about Fat Loss:

1. Even if you are disciplined with your diet, your weight loss will NOT be linear

One interesting trend Ive seen in the data from my clients is that weight will always drop sharply every 10-14 days
You'll get squiggly downward line where weight goes down, up, down, up, down a bit more, up

And then right around 10-14 days, there will be a significant drop thats a new Low
2. Hunger is not the challenge when strictly dieting, its the CRAVINGS

I shall explain:

If you are follow a serious calorie deficit, yes, you'll be hungry, that will 100% happen

But the hunger can be dealt with

What drives people crazy is specific CRAVINGS
