Haha, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to name it after slinging some crap at it.
The book was Built For Show by Nate Green.
Nate is an interesting author for sure. Has a flare for the dramatic, and a tendency to abandon principles at the drop of a hat.

I confess that my workout this morning consisted of looking out of the window at a pitch dark garden covered in frost, going “nah” and putting coffee on to brew instead.

This was my only experience with his writing, but I could definitely see that being the case. He leans pretty heavily into the Show part of the title during the final third of the book. There’s about as much written on how to present oneself to be better at picking up chicks as there is about training and nutrition. Just found it weird to be included given that it wasn’t advertised as that kind of book haha.
He’s written a fair number of articles for this site. If you give them a read, you’ll see similar trends.
I have him to thank for learning about DoggCrapp though, so there’s that.

I didn’t mind “Bigger, Smaller, Bigger” (though I mainly skimmed it and it’s free) but ummm, Nate Green, yeah. Haha

I confess that I take a lot of pride in my health because my genetics don’t exactly set me up for success with it. I went from high blood pressure (on meds) and eGFR in the low 50’s in November to healthy blood pressure (no meds) and full kidney function as of yesterday. I’d just as soon brag about getting healthy as I would about my deadlift.

You miss understand bear is fine… captain trips is a vague reference to the virus from the novel…The Stand.
Your misunderstanding is on me.

Are you still dealing with fatigue from COVID or is it some other symptom that’s hanging on? It’s crazy how differently the virus affects people.
PS: Loved the “Stand” reference.

Xi Jinping (President of China) would make a terrible Randall Flagg but this sure made me lol. I’m gonna call him “The Walkin’ Dude” from now on just to piss my wife off.
Actually, come to think of it, it’s not too far out since they cast Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abigail. Out of the 7 billion people in the world, God chose one of the chicks from The View to lead humanity.
