I bought more containers for extra insurance. Rahhhh!!! My food is prepared!!!

Goals for the week:

  • Use the captain of crush grippers ya goofball

-Add some neck movements or whatever. If I don’t have proper equipment uhhh… idk

  • Decide if you want to keep a 4th session of conditioning or forgo it, cause I always run into the habit of skipping it. When I don’t make schedule accommodations to get my conditioning out of the way in the beginning of the week, I’m screwed (Well not really, it just increases the chances of my brain turning to mush).

If you want some advice, then bodyweight stuff works pretty well for the neck in my experience. I’ve pretty much only ever trained mine with wrestling bridges, and it’s one of my strongest parts. Some upper-back stuff like power shrugs also seems to help, but YMMV.

I also did these for years, but whenever I think of them, I find myself agreeing with a Jim Wendler quote

ā€œ As for exercises, I’m not a big fan of neck bridges as they seem unsafe and every time I see someone doing them I have this intense urge to kick their heads out from underneath them.ā€

This is more for traps than the neck specifically but I swear I saw results from doing snatch-grip high pulls for less than a month in high school:

I’m annoyed I can’t read as much as I would like to.

University is really starting to annoy the hell out of me, feels like a big f*cking waste of time. I can’t wait to graduate spring 2024.

Not sure what happened with squatting last night. Maybe it was cause of me going to bed at 1 am and then waking up at 3:30 am.

Idk doesn’t matter, good training session tho.

No joke: kindle app and toilet time.

I have philosophy books that have literally only been read on the toilet.

You can also use it when you are waiting in line for something.

And as much you hate to hear it and I hate to be the old dude saying it: you’ll miss University time. I had no better time in my life. Being a professional learner is amazing. You get into the corporate world and find yourself using your free time to get taught something, haha.

Noted. I have been aggressively applying ā€œHow to win friends and influence peopleā€, but I want the principles to stick, so my goal was to read it 10-15 times.

Both founders of the company I’m with right now read the book. Learned that from one of them during a random conversation, he gives off ā€œfootball team captainā€ energy.

Lots of talking with classmates

Talking with co workers

Talking with security guards

Just taking advantage of any opportunity tbh

There is a hiatus with reading the book cause I’m impatient not cause I don’t have enough time lol.

In my mind, I want to knock out 10-15 reads of the book quickly within weeks, but it will take more than that due to other obligations.

Would love to do something in the meantime to work on public speaking. I’m pretty decent at presentations, and received mostly positive feedback from ones I’ve done in class and the one at my last summer internship.

Still want to build that skill though, feel like I need another set of eyes or a mentor for that.

I recently released a rant video on my youtube that functions exactly in this way. When I watch my videos, I look for how well I maintain eye contact and I listen for verbal pauses (um, uh, ya know, like, etc etc). I also evaluate my pacing of speech. It’s an easy way to practice the skill.

You have a very eloquent voice, it’d be perfect for a podcast.

Well thanks man. Took a bit of practice to get it there. I did one with @ChongLordUno over a year ago: that was a blast.
