Coming up on 8 years of saying this, please #GetYourTUp2k25 - eat better, sleep better, live better. I implore you to seek more. Strive for achievement, strength, and nobility. Ask yourself if you meekly want to drown in a swamp of submediocrity. Don’t betray yourself.

Dad calves are a real thing. Years of stubbornness gone in a few short months with less training.

[Mac @Macimedes]

@LogFitz6 Oh yea. You’ve got a mix of mid 20s effect, parenting, post Covid time perception shift, increasing tech presence in our life, and days/weeks slowly become less of a relative % of your life. 1 year passing as a 20 year old is 5%, 1 year at 25 is 4%, etc

I called this seven years ago.

Excited to tell future generations about the Battle for Mars between the @elonmusk SpaceX Rebels and the @realDonaldTrump US Space Force.

Front squat allowed? (Leave some room in between plates to hear and feed off of that metal clang)

[Isaac @isaac_saas]

I am taking a fat L on squat. The haters were right. The cut got the best of me and my neck is too skinny. Lol.

Did 5 warm-up sets and failed miserably on 332.

-102x10
-152x10
-192x10
-282x3
-302x1 (the video below)
-332xfail

The bar weighs 12 lbs.

Completely failed on the last one and had to do the walk of shame from the safeties.

Let’s try it again once I put 20lbs back on.

For the next 72 hours, anyone that uploads a video of them squatting more than this (barbell or smith) gets a free lifetime membership to MyLiftLog.

@Breddicus They hated him because he spoke the truth…

@nekyias The world makes us feel like we’re all on our own little sailboats. Depression takes the wind out of your sails, leaving you stranded or fighting to move. You definitely feel when the wind returns.

@LogFitz6 Pick up some good groceries on the low, snag some home gym pieces (15/20lb med balls and adjustable dumbbells 5-50lbs have been great pickups), and fight the hordes for the Aldi fanny pack drip. Aldi homie 4 lyf

@tywoosley23 Did a niacin flush and hit the sauna for 30 min at 185-190 degrees a couple of times back in ‘21. Was making all kinds of promises to myself and up above to make it out.

[Mac @Macimedes]

@DeanTTraining Honestly, this isn’t too far off the mark.

[Mac @Macimedes]

@tywoosley23 Dang dude! Hope everything goes as well as it can.

[Mac @Macimedes]

@LogFitz6 Must…return to sauce…. Must…return to schizo….. It is the only way…

[Mac @Macimedes]

We’ve created systems from top to bottom that incentivize a lack of accountability and encourage incomprehension that our actions do in fact have secondary and tertiary effects, while being dumbfounded that many of these systems are failing.

My exact words this morning after a ribeye, eggs, and a cup of joe.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wow, steak & eggs with coffee in the morning really feels like a powerup!

@tywoosley23 Lol, glad to see you starting to chime in some of the takes on X.

There’s a time and place for intra-workout carbs. A lot of dudes on here haven’t even begun to start getting to those times.

There is a severe shortage of mentors. Although more and more “managers” and “leaders” go through “transactional vs transformational” seminars, it seems they’ve only been empowered to fail, and to encourage others to fail the choice of Hercules.

[Mac @Macimedes]

There is a newfound confidence that I can act, speak, and write in a just and right way to counteract the evils of this world.

Although these intentions may only impact a small number of individuals, I will not be pacified.

No more will I sit on the fence.

[Mac @Macimedes]

I’ve just been sleepwalking. I’ve been ignoring this internally burning flame of truth and have had silence… a control … foisted upon me. Perhaps for all of my life.

Others are empowered to say, write, just widely broadcast words and ideas which truly hurt people.
