@LatinaCasanova I got big into yoga for a few years. Never got a date from it, just healthier and more flexible. It's not very conducive to meeting new people even if there's plenty of girls there.

You'll find the same stillness.

But this time, it leads somewhere.

In 2015, I spent 10 days in silence at a Vipassana meditation retreat.

No talking.
No eye contact.
10-11 hours of meditation and day.
No books. No phone. No music.

It was brutal. And it worked.

If you ever feel the pull to step away from the world, simplify your life, and confront yourself:

Don't waste that instinct on a meditation retreat.

Visit a monastery.

Most men train arms wrong.

They either:
- treat arms like an afterthought
- or turn arms day into junk volume and pump chasing.

Neither builds arms that actually look strong.

Here's what does:

Isolation still matters, but only after the basics.
Curls and extensions refine what compound lifts build.

They're finishers, not the foundation.

@Gabepluguez Our body is a gift from God, and good health is a blessing. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.

Strong shoulders = strong presence
I broke it all down in my latest article, including sample workouts.
Read it, train it, and start walking around with shoulders that complete your physique.

Most guys crush chest and arms...
But skip the ONE muscle group that makes them look like a complete man.
👉🏻Shoulders
Here's how to build rock solid shoulders that command respect 🧵

[Peter Mak @PeterM82321]

Exercises I skip (too risky)

🚫 Behind the neck press
🚫 Barbell upright rows
🚫 Most shoulder machines

Stick to free weights. Your joints will thank you.
