@GrahamHelton3@HackingDave @dakacki Whatever you choose buy the smallest bag/jug first time. Most are an acquired taste and flavors are pretty hit and miss. I’m not the biggest fan of Jocko either, but his protien powder has been the easiest on my stomach personally. Dynamize is good stuff but it all gets old
A lot of people didn’t understand why I was going to the desert to lift weights and workout with a bunch of hackers last week, and neither did I.
Now that it’s over, I know it was about community and commitment to a common goal… Hacking your health.
Live better, live longer
And that’s a wrap for the first #wehackhealth lifting camp of the year - we called this one, the family reunion.
Truthfully, I haven’t sat down to fully decompress from the weekend, but here are a few thoughts.
Environment dictates performance - there were a lot of nerves entering the gym on the first day and absolutely everyone hit some sort of PR - the team and the surrounding helped with that.
The work does not stop on the gym floor - “the 6 inches of real estate between your ears” - is the most important one we need to work on.
Letting go of control - this event hit different for me, I had the team with me to help coach, I had my Mum & Mark there to help cook - while it was difficult, it was worth it, it allowed me to be fully present in every conversation had across the week.
Lastly -
“Create something that people want to be a part of”
This is something I said Dec 01 2019 after one of my very first client shoots - I’ll share the before and after below so we can see how things have grown since then.
Never stop growing.
Demand more and be better.
No one is going to do the work for you.
Act accordingly.
And of course: 5 more
