[Open Note Grappling 📝 @OpenNoteGrapple]

literally one of the worst arm bars you'll ever see

1 - why do you have a gable grip?

2 - pull the hand into the negative space, not onto your chest

3 - if you're going to cross your feet, the leg over the face has to be on bottom

[Open Note Grappling 📝 @OpenNoteGrapple]

Why I thought their grappling matched up horribly

On bottom Ortega only attacks the upper body
What happens when someone stands?
If you can't enter the legs you have no options on bottom
Why not at least learn leg entanglements to wrestle up?

One of the most underrated traits in business and life:

Reliability.

You can get damn far by just being someone that people can count on to show up, punch the clock, and do the work.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

The most underrated secret to success.

You say you will do a thing, then you actually do a thing.

90% do not do this.

[StripMallGuy @realEstateTrent]

We need an advice penalty box like they have in hockey.

If you ask for advice 10 times in row, and don't follow it 10 times in a row, you should be banned for asking again for 5 years.

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

The single biggest thing that separates people is the consistent ability to show up and do the work.

The consequences of failing to show up consistently are getting the results you deserve but not the ones you want.

Tip For Parents:

Your kids would eat ice cream & candy 3X a day, skip school and play video games all day if “it was up to them”.

Don’t let them decide whether or not they’re going to the weight room today, wrestling practice tomorrow, or the training camp this weekend.

Set a schedule that is not too much, but that meets their needs, and hold accountable. They’ll be better adults if you do.

The most useful razors and rules I've found:

1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim

If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim

2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.

4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett

6. The 6-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "6 figures" -- assume it's closer to $100K than $900K.

7. Parent Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.

If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)

8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.

They just picked the best one.

9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie

10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.

11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.

12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:

• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.

In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.

13. The Roman Empire Rule - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.

If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.

14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.

E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.

15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:

• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.

Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.

17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.

Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:

• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts

18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.

The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

Habit Loop - The Four Laws of Behaviour Change

Atomic Habits by James Clear

[Purler Wrestling @purlerwrestling]

Only .9% of wrestlers earn a chance to compete in college. However…

Only .9% of wrestlers were actually serious about making it. Most just say: “Yah, I’d like to compete in college.”

Ask any adult of they’d like to have 6 pack abs, have a promotion, have their finances in order, etc. I bet 100% say yes. College wrestling is no different.

So…

Don’t be scared off by the statistics, you have a 100% chance of wrestling in college if you’re a savage and are not a part of the non-serious crowd. College coaches at all levels are literally STARVING for athletes who are among the Top 1%.

Big takeaway from Super 32s so far…you have to build your body. Wrestling skill alone doesn’t cut it.
