How long do I train for? As long as you need to. It helps to pencil out your goals to see if they’re achievable especially if your goal is measurable and track able. Otherwise you may eat up time trying to get to it. See the image below from TrainingPeaks If you have your ultimate goal like a bench press or squat you need to try seeing if it’s doable in a year and then go month by month to see what’s needed to get there.

I’d like to support farmers and ranchers that are as local as possible. But I think sometimes farmers markets are becoming the new malls (as pointed out by Regenaisssnce). I know what it takes to get your produce or meat together to bring to a farmers market. It’s a lot of work and requires you to offset your time to sell at place and buy a spot at the place. It becomes costly and not many people actually buy food. If you know a local rancher or farmer there’s a lot you can do for them to spread the word about them. You can also help orange pill them. The more robust your local food economy is the better your food will be. I buy from big producers that are outside of my town but I will always buy a cow from someone local. You don’t need to split all of your income to buy some things but spend it on food that’s well worth the quality to you.

If you’re trying to do the One Meal A Day because you want to do fasting/loose weight, I’d lean more towards making breakfast the one meal a day you do. You’ll sleep better and help maintain your body’s rhythms and leptin. You fast best(I think) at night/sleep when you’ve finished eating your last meal several hrs prior. If you’re doing 16/8 fasting, front load your meals to morning and afternoon. Main message: don’t skip breakfast.

Can’t be outside all day? No problem try to stack Light like sats. Use your circadian rhythm to your advantage. Start with any of these wins: Sunrise (within an hr at least) Sun breaks as much as you can Front load calories in breakfast Don’t eat after sunset Lights out /low light and blue blockers after sunset.

Happy Solstice!

First BTC conference for me. Is anyone else going to be at Bitcoin Rodeo?

Working on vibe coding vibe for design of something physical. Making an exercise/training platform that will last outdoors bc one needs to train outside.

Remember: you took or chose supplements for a reason. Something I’d suggest— try to see if the supplement can go to zero for you someday. Not enough protein? Ditch the powder for whole food sources. -eggs (raw slurped down gets you there) -blender burger: use bone broth and ground beef and throw in a blender. -blender chicken: Same as beef. Popularized by American Strongman Derek Poundstone. Creatine? See above for red meat idea. I think there’s also a trade off with doing this too much and it’s not the early 2000s steroid scare stuff.

Sorry I don’t have hyperlink for this but the light you eat under influences your body’s reaction to the food you eat. Eat outside > how often? As much as possible. >I think your sense of satiety will be better even if you’re eating fun foods. >Nature never assumed we’d eat under srticicial light.

Nirmal Purja stands out as one of the fittest people. You maybe saw the film 14 Peaks. This guy trained and was selected into the Gurkhas and Special Boat Service. Then he summits 14 of the 8000er (meters) in six months and six days. This has since been broken but this guy is still doing mountain summits. There’s a few scenes where he Carries other climbers- already a feat to do so with your own gear but then fireman carry someone else your size at that altitude is wild. Freak guy. I think Jack Kruse was onto something with the Sherpas and their mitochondria.

Sunrise. Get to it as soon as you can as much as you can. Your body starts off the best with it.

Wenning Warmups— From the amazing Matt Wenning himself, these warmups are a worthwhile addition to your regimen. What to do: Pick 3 exercises to get you ready for the session ahead. These include a prime mover, an accessory for your weakness, and a second one that gets your gut ready. Do 20-25 (12 reps for unilateral exercises) reps of each exercise for four rounds. Load is LIGHT. If you’re burnt out you’re going too heavy. The 4 rounds raise your HR to around 140bom. This gets you ready for the session, ups your GPP, and gives you volume that you likely need anyways. Example: Let’s say we’re training bench. My weakness is in my triceps and my back needs to get engaged. I’d do 4 rounds of: Dumbbell bench 25 reps Lying tricep extensions 25 reps Lat pull-down 25 reps This should talk you less than 15 minutes. The shorter you’re in the gym the quicker you can recover!

Training should support what you want or need. As you change so should training. Everything works but nothing works forever. Keep principles intact and training decisions become easier.

One thing I’ve done to redo my training and hence my horizons is looking at what I want to be able to do at a certain age. Key parts for me are: Low/no injury (life just ain’t perfect) Maintain standards for certain lifts Biggest one of all—> be wise enough to know what to change. Oddly enough for me Bitcoin giving me a better future while being pissed (good inspirational pissed btw) really made me lean into training for life so I don’t get swept up in latest peptide/supplemtn/whatever If those things work and I’m sure they do great. But you’ll find that if you don’t know why you had a condition to take those in first place the. You’re going to be disappointed. Same thing with training. Train for where it makes sense and what you want to do. The more you do it the better you get at making decisions>>>better time preference. End the fiat fitness trends. #fiatfitness #endfiatfitness

If you’re changing what you do to have quality time on this planet you’re ahead. But trying to be ahead can get you into this pseudo rat race of trying to one-up someone else. You should strive to be better than yesterday, but not loose your calm if you miss something. You’re always one decision from getting back on track. It’s possible learning and getting orange pulled leads you to health and the opposite is true— health can lead to Bitcoin. Both require you to be the custodian of your time.

I hope Bitcoin adoption accelerates is to a future where, if we should choose, can have a life with slow mornings. Beginning the day for your SCN and body clocks with those you love is my aim.

In my fiat job, AI is the next (coveted) answer to transform an industry. Autonoumous drill rigs, more sensors and data while breaking ground. Smaller drillers worry not being able to afford the future rigs and being thrown out of the market, especially in the mining world. I feel for them; they care about quality work bc they don’t have the volume like the bigger ones do. My answer to them comes with something I think is echoed by @Marty Bent Stack sats and hone in on what you’re good at. They can accumulate Bitcoin to stay afloat and I think ahead and buy the equipment/fleet that’s proven and makes sense to them. The incentives in the automation push of this industry I suspect are fiat heavy.. Something I’ll write on later and post here and other places.
