Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I still lift weights three days a week that's kind of like the one staple thing that is non-negotiable in my life so no matter how busy travel gets or wherever I am it's I'm always gonna be in the gym sort of Monday Wednesday Friday lifting plus or minus some metabolic conditioning thrown in there depending on you know what else is going on
if i had to the first thing i would do if you know if i was if i had instant motivation powder that i was going to dust on myself i would get i would up my strength my strength training routine that would be the first thing i do if longevity was my first priority
i personally will maybe we can get into this that that's not my definition of an optimal exercise routine i would include some high intensity stuff i you know and strength is another thing
I'm probably putting in the minimum amount of strength training that I can personally do which is like 40 to 50 minutes a week
personally I would say so I I said like I said I'm probably running about 20 mil a week right now which is 6 days a week you know half an hour with a couple of hard days I think that's on the to me that's on the low end of of I I think I would be healthier if I did more at this point
if I had to the first thing I would do if you know if I was if I had instant motiv powder that I was going to dust on myself I would get I would up my strength R my my strength training routine that would be the first thing I do if longevity was my first priority
So this is um so you know after after having a couple of experts on and just when I have an expert on I read the literature voraciously like I just dive in and I I want to be in it right um and it's part of the fun. I love it right like this is like I get to learn all this new material that I'm interested in. And so I finally realized that I wasn't doing enough training, resistance training. And so I um got a train. I have a personal trainer now. I'm doing resistance type training. I do like a CrossFit type training for at least 3 hours a week.
