“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world, the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.” - Hannah Arendt
Social media has been a cancer to our country since it’s inception. It’s tearing our country apart. Platforms full of bots and bad actors spreading ideals, misinformation, and propaganda.
It’s about to get worse. With the fast advances in AI, the dead internet theory becomes realer every day.
I fear for a future where there is no knowledge. A future where no one can decipher what is real and what is fake. A future where we believe nothing and everything. This future is drawing near.
What a great weekend at the water park with the girls. We went with other couples and their kids. One of the other dads referred to me as the tall muscular guy.
I’m not that muscular but felt good anyways.
I’ve decided to hold off on the new program. I am having a small procedure (nothing serious) done in 3 weeks and will be out for a couple weeks.
Getting a gym membership tomorrow to help with leg training.
Signed up for a gym membership today and it’s changed my opinion on leg workouts.
I dreaded leg workouts tremendously when I knew I would have to do DB lunges, squats, and SL deadlifts.
Today, I performed a hack squat which was easier on my knees and back which is nice. Got to use a legit calf raise machine. I still did SL deadlifts. I can’t get too far away from barbell work.
I’ve never really worked out in a gym so the machines are all new to me. I’m not as hardcore as some here and have mainly just worked out in my garage with my power rack since I started.
Workouts today:
30 Minute Flexibility (EDR Fitness YT)
1.5 Mile Walk
Hack Squat: 10x180, 8x180, 8x180, 7x180
SL Deadlift: 12x165, 10x175
Calf Raise: 14x70, 9x70, 8x70, 8x70 (Finally felt like I worked my calves efficiently)

Tomorrow night I get to figure out how to do cable crossovers.
