All of the elite athletes I know eat ice cream, pizza, candy, and have an occasional beer.

All of the mediocre athletes who are big on social media: lose their minds at the thought of some of those things.

This holds beyond nutrition.

Build robustness, not fragility.

@thekitze @pizzaboy maybe he is on low testosterone 😭

@FitFounder WALK

@GuruAnaerobic done 🫡 but i don't think i would pass it with +20% bw. I'll start with 100 +10% bw

@thekitze 1. Calorie tracking: set a goal and focus on the weekly average (so you can compensate between days).

2. Activity: 7k+ daily steps (just walk)

3. Workout: schedule it, don't bs yourself with "i'll do it later".

(in that order i think)

aaaand: baby steps > overnight changes

@fintual depostiar dólares directamente sería cool también

[Nico @codewithnico]

@johnrushx i would start with:
- walking: 7k+ steps a day to improve your base activity
- add more protein in your food

baby steps > changing everything at once

injury/pain:
physical therapist; try to go with one that uses exercises (massages/warming helps but won't fix the core issue)

@shl it's $0 now, are we cooked?

@PaulaGhete the image you had of the other person is broken. you thought she/he loved you, but then you realize maybe not. And you start to think: maybe you weren't enough. Or that you were living a fake life. And there is a social factor: "that's the person who has been cheated"

@catalinmpit Mostly SP500 and funds via @fintual

@GuruAnaerobic great insight! it applies to other parts of life too! personal finances (expense tracking), reading (counting pages), etc.

Why your favorite hybrid athlete is likely deceiving you.

At 185 lbs (yes not HUGE), I’ve run 1:54 in the 800 and 4:29 in the mile.

I still lift 3x/week. Still try to persevere as much muscle/strength while attempting to really lower those running numbers in the coming months.

But here’s what most people in the hybrid space aren’t telling you.

@ole_b_peters I just bought mine from Chile 🇨🇱 👀

[Nico @codewithnico]

@levelsio agree. use the time restriction of you ft job as an advantage. restrictions should make you more innovative, not idle/stagnant

[Nico @codewithnico]

@ole_b_peters Hey Ole! Does it have international shipping? 👀

[Nico @codewithnico]

@brady_h Agree. Same with discipline... at some point, you work out just because it’s a habit you enjoy. You don’t even think about it. Not going might actually feel harder!

@wojakcodes i get adopted by extroverts for some reason, so i know if i expose myself a bit i'll end up socializing. some examples of activities: on-site courses, talks, workshops, crossfit, etc.

@fabianhtml Buen post! También recuerdo haber pasado por un loop así... al final me quedé con ConvertKit que por suerte ahora tiene el plan free (estuve pagando 29USD/m por 1 año). Viste @buttondown ? es una alternativa light
