#1 pick would have to be “How to Win Friends and Influence People” but I’m old school I guess.
Most of these books have the same stuff in them, just repackaged and rebranded Socrates-isms. 80% of the stuff goes in one ear and out the other, but the 20% is the important part.
Right now I’m listening to “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan B. Peterson… I envy his mannerisms and composure, so the least I could do is buy some of his content. Too early on to give recommendations though.
This is a classic I have read multiple times. Funny how a decades-old book is as relevant today as it ever was.

Same here. I’ll tell my wife something and it is dismissed easily. If a friend or trainer (especially if a girl) says the same thing it is genius. I suppose the reverse is likely true too even if I don’t see it.
One thing I’ve had trouble with lately is the idea that my training should take longer than her training. It is tough for her to understand that. As objective as possible, I am quite a bit better lifter than she is. Also, just the absolute strength difference makes a difference. It just takes longer to warm up to 5 plate deadlift sets, than it does for 185 lb deadlift sets even if those are the same percentages.
I need to print out the article that recently came out here about differences in training. One of the big things was that men on average need longer rest periods.
(oh yeah, this is the program I’m doing btw)

Had class last night so couldn’t train as planned.
I kinda got lost in the logs, but found my way back. Your programming kinda makes me chuckle, because of the combos, but I’m pretty sure you’re stronger than me so it’s working!

I’d have sat and watched that with a semi like a proper gym naus!
Thats some strong deads… I couldn’t do thar. Not even close 
Under these circumstances, I may have even gotten a 6th rep!
Really? I thought that was right up your alley. To be fair, I couldn’t hang with you for even a 10th of your daily conditioning - so we’ll call it even lol.

PR party during a cut, nice work!
Ridiculous!
Amusing.
@TrainForPain has all the guns but can’t push those big numbers like our @Andrewgen_Receptors lol (just joking by the way)
Very nice upper body numbers there!
I for sure can’t - those are big weights
@throwawayfitness @tlgains @unicornsandrainbows @TrainForPain Thanks all for the congrats and compliments!
That’s how we felt when you were logging your spin classes!
Nothing special today, mostly addressing weak points.
