It’s good to see someone else who thinks like I do. With so much ignorance in the world these days it’s nice to know there’s someone out there who isn’t an idiot.

Comment on Too Tired to Workout? by Jeremy Y

I couldn’t agree more. My productivity and quality of life increased after every “I am too tired to workout” workout.
I think sometimes it is okay to not go with emotions- this would definitely be one of those times…

Comment on A Lesson from Steve Jobs by Jeremy Y

It should also be noted that Steve’s personal motto was “If this is your last day to live, are you still going to do what you are about to do?” I think it goes without saying that we all could try to live each day to the fullest, and not squander it mindlessly.

Comment on You’ve worked hard all week, you deserve a night off. by Mark

Actually Mark, due to the hormonal response your body has to alcohol or ‘fake’ food (man made, processed foods), one day off then has a carry effect to the next one or perhaps even two days, then you are essentially catching up on the deficit you have caused from those days. So one day off is more like 5 days further from your goal.

Good point to make mate, but this point is drilled into my head forever, as a couple of weeks back I lost almost 2lbs of fat in a week then thought to myself well i’ve did well went on the drink for 2 days/nights, then my body was absolutley destroyed for a whole week, felt depressed then gained over 2lbs of fat cos my diet and discipline went right out the window. So these “deserved” nights or “days off” are a complete waste to anyone wanting to acheive their goals of fat loss, toning etc.. Like me.

Comment on Stiff Leg Deadlifts and Variations by Mark

@Ali – A Romanian Deadlift is a variation on the traditional Stiff Leg Deadlift. It involves a flat back, a slight bend in the knees (so not locked out) and rather than just bending from the hips to lower the bar, it involves pushing the hips backward and keeping the back straight. It gets its name from the fact that an Olympic medal winner was seen using the movement prior to an Olympic event with 300kg on the bar. He was from Romania, so it became the Romanian Deadlift.

@Carly It depends on your point of view or where you are in your life. If your current targets and priorities are on an ‘elite’ physique then a huge level of focus is required and you can’t expect to have off days and still get elite results. However, I was more making the point that people often convince themselves that it’s just one night or one treat and I was hoping to make it clearer that these moments rarely have as small an impact as people convince themselves they do. So if your choice is to have weekend wine then make that choice, but make it an informed choice rather than one that you have convinced yourself is not that big a deal and then wonder why your physical improvements aren’t as high a level as you hoped. However, by avoiding the wine, you would have more money for shoes and are more likely to enjoy the ensemble of a healthier person filling them. But then, that’s just my perception, doesn’t make it right, just a way of looking at things.
