It's where I write stuff
I've never understood Trump's appeal. I never saw his show on TV, but whenever I saw him on a talk show, he seemed like a buffoon to me. He was always spouting nonsense and bragging about himself. I dismissed him quite easily. When he was running for President, it seemed like more of the same. …
1600 Pennsylvania Ave has probably seen its share of unsavory types over the years, but I doubt any were as blatantly corrupt and lacking in any respect for the office as the current occupant. It's not surprising to anyone who has any knowledge of his history in business. He's all about making a buck in …
I listened to Abel and Dave have a conversation on their podcasts and while I approached it with minimal expectations, it was an honest discussion that hit on several points that clicked for me. Abel always strikes me as a guy who tries to train as little as possible. He's about a sustainable lifestyle after …
As Dr. Gregory House taught us; it's a fundamental truth of the human condition: everyone lies. The only variable is about what. The insane thing about Trump is that while he lies so much and so often, about literally anything, he is so awful at it. There's nothing even remotely believable about a Trump lie. …
The NY Mets went into the 9th inning of their second game against the Washington Nationals on September 3, 2019 up 10-4. They had exploded for late inning runs, turning a close game into a blowout and all they had to do was get 3 more outs. I didn't know this at the time, but …
I have become a major consumer of YouTube content. It started slowly but has eclipsed all my other media usage. The only thing I struggle with is easily finding something I want to see again. I'll figure it out eventually, but I really wanted to save this so here it is:
I first heard of blood flow restriction, or occlusion training during my PT Course. My initial reaction was that I would never consider such a thing. It seems odd and frankly dangerous to put a tourniquet on my arms or legs and proceed to lift weights. As typically happens to me, the more I read …
While I have some philosophically pessimistic tendencies, in practical terms I am more of a realist. While I enjoyed watching the NY Metropolitans phenomenal post All Star Break run, and was excited to hear all the Wild Card talk, deep down I knew the easy schedule coming out of the break was helping make it …
I often wonder why anyone would want to be President, but never have I pondered it more than in the case of Donald Trump. He doesn't need the job, he's a senior citizen, and he is remarkably ill suited for the job due to a lack of experience in government, the inability to take criticism, …
I just wrote about deloading, and I had basically made up my mind all I really needed was a nice easy week of lighter weights and less sets and I'd be ready to rumble again. However, I revisited my PT Course materials and watched a presentation from Menno on injuries and I'm rethinking what I …
