@anna_5588 - I legit read the book, cover to cover (yes, including all of the templates), 3 times on vacation before I returned home to start the new programming.
I also adopted JW’s principles wholeheartedly: you can pick and choose his templates, mix-and-match to your heart’s content, but you’re either all in or not in it at all with his principles.
Edit: Now caught up on the thread, and I see what Pwn said:
But this is in part what makes us human.
I’d rather be an econ
On that note, man, if someone makes ANY decision I am a fan. It’s rare to see these days.
Surpriiiise. Intelectualization is actually an immature defense mechanism.
Actively struggling against bias, relying on heuristics,
Making dumb decisions and owning the consequences of your actions - these are all part of maturing.
You will make dumb decisions based on emotions. Bad ones at that. Because yes, at the end of the day, emotions deceive and betray. But man up to the consequences of your actions. That is a choice that for me is more respectable. And hopefully, as you mature, you make less of these bad decisions.
Sorry, I’m telling this more to myself because I recently made a bad decision based on emotion. Now I have to face the consequences.
Thankfully, someone wrote a manual to help
It’s a cop out 
I’m sorry. Hope you’re okay

This f*ckin guy!
Please pardon my cynicism, but I’ve heard this one a few times myself.
Your stock in trade is thinking. Like literally. You will be getting paid in the future for the product output of your mind.
Better get used to it now rather than later, but I’d be willing to bet that when you start talking turkey this guy becomes a ghost.
@SkyzykS to be clear, I’m not counting on this at all. There’s a 90% chance his business fails
He is WAYYY too optimistic
Nice!!!
What week is this of BBB?
Starting with jumps before lower body compounds always lets me know how well the workout is going to go. The explosiveness of the jumps is a very good indicator!
3rd. THe coming week is technically a deload, but most ppl run 2 cycles back to back before deloading on the 7th week. I think I’ll do that, especially since there’s a risk of the gym shutting down temporarily at some point in the next month due to COVID
It works like a charm. I think that might be contributing to how nice my deadlifts have felt on BBB
Yeah, it’s more a comment on people who like ones service or abilities when it’s free, or have something great “in the works”.
“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today”.
to be fair, I feel like I’ve gotten much more out of him than he’s getting out of me. I genuinely enjoy discussing stuff like this. Mum is in the industry and it’s nice to have someone talk to me about these things.
Apparently I’ve been extremely helpful for him too and he’s shown me pages and pages of notes he’s taken from our conversations. This partially explains why I’m not optimistic about the business… There’s no reason he should be taking me so seriously 
He’s also given me great advice on grad school stuff and general life advice (dude has phd from MIT)
There are plenty of reasons.
The other point of my post above- don’t sell yourself short.
On a different note, Winter finally arrived! It’s all the way up to 16° f. now!
It’s supossed to get up to 41F the day I go back
I enjoy the warmer weather, but this is scary
Yeah it is.
I’m about to head out for a day of crawling under trucks and fixing broken stuff.

Is this because you are hungry?
