Strength is not how much weight you lift. Strength is a capacity of force production. Force production is a manifestation of interaction between tissues/objects. So strength is a capacital skill of expressing/managing a interaction that manifests “force”
Bolt is extremely strong (or was). His ability of strength was specific to a certain skill. Hence, skill specific strength, capacity of force production within specific kinematic ranges/and sequences. Providing a high RFD at extreme ranges of motion, under a ~120 m/s time limit..
@da5705 Cope. Here’s why.
He is NOT a great all around athlete, which involves strength and hand eye coordination and about 100 other things. bolt is not the rubric…
Penny Hardaway is. Tim Tebow is. Michael Jordan is.
Kevin Garnett or Randy Moss in goal
Along with insane elastic recoil in the Achilles under all those constraints….. Athletes are masters of impulses, the ability express capacities of force production within specific constraints such as time/range of motion/ cross bridge potential…. Etc.
Much of the internet thinks:
> meat will remedy my autoimmune gastritis
> sunlight is the cure
> the culprit is the food I consume
These are unlikely.
The sunlight assessment is claiming low vitamin D levels are making my immune system misfire. My vitamin D has been sustainably high for years.
The meat argument claims that animal tissue contains missing nutrients that will cure me. This is a misunderstanding of my condition.
My low ferritin is a downstream consequence of autoimmune gastritis and not the cause of it. The autoimmune attack destroys my stomach's acid producing parietal cells. That compromises my gut's highly acidic microenvironment that is required to absorb iron.
As evidence, for years we’ve tried every possible oral iron formulation to correct it, including proferrin, a heme iron polypeptide similar to how iron exists in meat, lactoferrin, as well as non-complex forms including iron bisglycinate. We also tried different times of the day, and pairings to improve absorption. Nothing worked.
My autoimmune profile began at a young age when I was regularly eating red meat and was in the sun for multiple hours a day. I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease when I was 21 years old. In immunology, the connection between thyroid and stomach autoimmunity is sufficiently common and tightly linked that it has a name: thyrogastric syndrome.
My body’s genetic and immunological architecture made a mistake decades ago, failing to distinguish between my own tissues and external threats. Trying to cure a decades old, genetically driven, antigen specific immune failure by switching to a meat diet or getting sunlight is like trying to fix a corrupted line of software code by altering the temperature of the room.
If I am to fix this mistake inside my body, I first need to figure out what specifically went wrong. That’s why I am sequencing one million of my immune cells.
By isolating and sequencing these individual cells, we can identify the rogue platoon of soldiers who are doing the damage. Once we know who they are, we can design specific solutions to stop their attacks.

How I’m sequencing my immune system
Think of your immune cells as trillions of soldiers. Each carries a unique key designed to unlock and destroy a specific threat, like a virus or bacteria.
A standard blood test allows you to see how many soldiers you have, but not their keys. Sequencing 1 million individual immune cells allows us to read the exact pattern of the teeth on every single key.
This is important for my autoimmune gastritis (AIG) because a specific platoon of rogue soldiers has developed keys that unlock an attack on my stomach lining.
Right now, we don’t know who they are. This test will inform us of which soldiers have gone rogue and are attacking me from within.
Once we know soldier and key, we know what therapy path to pursue to shut them down.
Many modern diseases (where the environment and the things in it become increasingly “toxic” to the organism) are likely the result of entangled systems failures. Causality is not linear.
Skin cancer from sun exposure? Maybe it’s not just “the sun.” Maybe it’s poor diet lowering tolerance, poor habits around exposure (intermittent spikes instead of being outside year round ) loss of the skin microbiome from never being outside in the first place, over-sanitization, and constant exposure to artificial light on the skin at night dysregulating immunity and repair.
Inability to tolerate fiber or otherwise healthy foods? Maybe it’s not that fiber is the enemy. Maybe it’s loss of microbial diversity, loss of exposure to natural environments that calibrate immunity, sterilized diets, processed foods, and a gut ecosystem that no longer knows what to do with what should be normal inputs.
Alpha-gal is immune dysregulation. Just like all allergies. It’s a loss of immune intelligence
We blame one trigger rather than the ecological whole in which the disease emerges.
Wait I was told I need to train power all offseason (2 1/2 months) right after my season finished because I was in the 50th percentile of my demographic for PP on my CMJ😂 Happens too often man. Great illustration of how training should be.
The transition phase is the most important. Decide today if you are going to start the next phase reloaded or just back from a break. Sport-specific training in the offseason is a bad idea.
Finish the rehab, detrain like a human, and do what is needed to start a GPP.
The Standing Broad Jump is going to be hot again, but don't get crazy. Address force application responsibly and don't try to mimic or get too specific. When the exercise looks like a hybrid, you are likely losing the value of both activities while losing training time.
Again we ask: Where are the grains? We're repeatedly told by the sports nutrition experts that: "There's no elite athlete on the planet who does not follow a high-carbohydrate diet. Because carbs are King".
Well now it seems there might just be at least one who thrives on organ meats and steaks. Not on sugar, grains, breakfast muesli and cornflakes.
And if there is one, there may be others. @LoreofRunning1
Wow ….. so enlightened, so intelligent…..
My name is Ben
I have zero education in any of earth sciences and zero formal training in astrophysics, meteorology or any other scientific field.
But…..
No one is ready but me….
But I’m broke & a bum…..
So follow me for more grifting content…
PS. If you follow this retard for more than entertainment you’re also a retard.
People have been saying “The sun is different.” Many people feel it’s brighter and much harsher
Look what happened if you leave a Coca-Cola bottle out for just one week in direct sunlight…
It was never like this growing up
According to what I can find the official sources say you just remember it different, or your eyes are aging so it feels more intense
But that’s doesn’t account for a lot of tests people are doing. Some other explanations says it’s solar cycle or it’s brighter during different times of the year
A big foundation of health should be habits that blend effortlessly into the background of your day
Grounding sheets and blackout shades at night? Effortless and passive
Opening windows and or driving with them down + eating meals outside for casual infrared exposure? Effortless and passive
Replacing bright overhead lights for dim, ambient red/orange? Effortless and passive
Air filters, negative ion generators or indoor plants to make the inside more like the outside? Passive and effortless
These used to be part of life. Now we have to engineer them back. The initial upfront cost is minimal. then they just become an integrated aspect of your life.
Your whole gut microbiome, spore based strains, seasonal/geographical spore based strains, and your whole ability to handle and break down nutrients in the intestine. Crucial bacteria strains used to fight chronic diseases can be eliminated for generations by GLPs.
@pnwguerrilla It makes them feel safer because Flock helps investigators respond to serious crime. Flock supported more than a million criminal investigations and the safe return of more than 10,000 missing people last year.
This is a smart acquisition by SpaceX. Cursor is a very popular code creation software front-end used by programmers everywhere. Some of my own developers use it. Importantly, Cursor can be used with almost any code-generating AI model, and SpaceX is of course going to integrate it with Grok to achieve instant distribution of Grok coding agents in the coming months.
