The present is all anyone possesses. To waste it, to let it escape you, to fritter it away with fear or frustration, is not only to set yourself up for failure, it is a rejection of a beautiful gift.

Focus on the now. Be where you are…while you still can.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Detach yourself emotionally from fools. And while you're inwardly laughing at their foolishness, indulge them in one of their more harmless ideas.

@missslick11 @JeremyRyanSlate @Stefan01301380 @MikhailaFuller Also, following a dedicated program that progressively overloads the athlete(exerciser) in order to make absolute strength adaptation is required. For example, I use a program that progressively overloads from approx 75% to 100%. Lifting heavy is more beneficial for adaptation.

@missslick11 @JeremyRyanSlate @Stefan01301380 @MikhailaFuller It seems like we are saying similar things. Going for a 1 rep max is a test and can be done periodically or in competition. It is not necessary to build strength in the deadlift.

[Adam Hensley @Becoming___Adam]

@missslick11 @JeremyRyanSlate @Stefan01301380 @MikhailaFuller Then there are the multiple neurological, cardiovascular, and anabolic benefits on top of those.

@missslick11 @JeremyRyanSlate @Stefan01301380 @MikhailaFuller Deadlifts develop strength in the lower back, core, & legs; glutes, hamstrings, & quads. Strengthening the hip-hinge position translates to things like picking things up, which many of us do multiple times a day. It enhances your grip strength.

@missslick11 @JeremyRyanSlate @Stefan01301380 @MikhailaFuller Powerlifters and strongman train to build up an incredible amount of strength, stressing the body beyond what any person seeking wellness and fitness(most of us) would need to pursue. Again, this is hearsay and the opinions of random exercisers do not qualify as reliable data.

[Sylvester McNutt III @SylvesterMcNutt]

Be intentional about how you spend your time. You can’t afford to waste any. Value your time, attention and energy. These are powerful resources.

[Adam Hensley @Becoming___Adam]

@missslick11 @JeremyRyanSlate @Stefan01301380 @MikhailaFuller Deadlifting is not bad for you and there is absolutely no evidence I have ever seen to support that claim.

[Sylvester McNutt III @SylvesterMcNutt]

Stop opening the apps that drain you
Stop going back to the person that drains you
Stop answering the calls if all they do is drain you
Stop saying yes to everything that drains you

Protect your energy. Be around people and environments that give energy back. Value your energy.

[Donald J. Robertson @DonJRobertson]

I think one of the main insights we get from studying reasoning, and fallacies, is that we're all prone to illogical thinking, and the evidence we have is often more inconclusive than we like to pretend. It should give us intellectual humility.

Consistent, quality performance is a byproduct of consistent, quality decision-making.

Sustained success is a collection of doing the right things for a long time on purpose, with purpose.

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

It's hard to act on your values if you don't know what they are. These questions can help identify them.

1. Deep down what matters?
2. What relationships do I want to build?
3. In which activities do I feel most alive?
4. If my stress were gone, what would I pursue?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Beating yourself up doesn't make you stronger. It leaves you bruised.

Being kind to yourself isn’t about ignoring your weaknesses. It's about giving yourself permission to learn from your mistakes.

We grow by embracing shortcomings, not punishing them.
