Highly unpopular topic but your poop is a really important indicator of health 1-3 dookies per day Should come out easily and quickly (no 20m camping sessions) And have a nice brown color (no green or black) Do some googling or AI research if you’re not sure how to tell but can serve you well to use changes in #2’s as health markers Ok that’s enough potty talk carry on

Last year I was dealing with some really bad eczema on my hands, found a dermatologist who was young, smart, and actually cared about helping me find a solution (which we did) Haven’t seen her in about a year so I was going to schedule a lil check in, and come to find out she’s left the last practice she was at All her medical profiles still have her at that practice which is a bummer So I’m debating on contacting her personally to see where she’s at Definitely not advisable but also when I find a doc I like/trust I’m not tryna go through that process again I’ll give it a month or two to see where she lands before going stalker mode

Have been seeing this new girl recently Couple weeks ago we were out at a Marlins game and chatted with this old lady who was an usher When we turned to leave she tapped me on the shoulder and said “you two are a very cute couple!” It was only our 3rd date so a little awkward lol Then last night at dinner we were having a nice time, turned down dessert Then waiter brings out a chocolate dessert and says “I really like your energy so this one is on me” Universe is always sending signals if you’re listening

There’s a local bakery that I frequent 2-3x a week They’re mostly Venezuelan so I always chat with them trying to practice my Spanish I’ve become friends with almost every worker there (friends with the owner too but he’s never there lol) They almost always give me my coffee on the house and throw in a F&F discount on my food too One of the main girls who always worked the register moved on to another job recently, so the new person doesn’t really know me yet Anyways I order my cappuccino and pastries this morning and when one of the girls who I do know comes she asked if I ordered a coffee or if I want her to make me one I told her I ordered it today and she sighed in exasperation as if to say “you don’t have to pay just ask me next time!” I dont mind paying and I certainly don’t come just because I’ve got the hookup I believe in being a part of your community and I genuinely love my friendly interactions here. Being nice and outgoing is a huge value add in life

If you’re training hard and lifting heavier, but aren’t gaining any weight You either need to eat more or be very careful of your training volume Injuries follow strength increases without subsequent weight gain (when training for strength or hypertrophy)

Tyrese Haliburtons torn Achilles explained as easy as 1, 2, 3. ✍️ 1️⃣: he suffered a calf strain a couple games ago. Undoubtedly being treated with either NSAIDS, or possibily heavy duty steroids and/or painkillers like toradol. Hard to tell 2️⃣: the calf strain limits the ability for the muscle to produce, accept, and redistribute force. This causes the (Achilles) tendon to pick up way more slack than it’s used to. Then tack on the negative effect of NSAIDS & medications on connective tissue and we’ve got a fully loaded powder keg 3️⃣: he takes a false step with a dropped heel in order to accelerate, and boom. Pop goes the Achilles. Happening in 2q is a little earlier than you’d expect, but in either case not surprised at all. All criteria for a very serious Achilles injury were met and this is the same exact playbook that tore KD’s Achilles a few years ago. Sucks to see. I just hope he knew the risks of playing with that strain because all sports med pro’s saw this coming

Found out this weekend that my uncle who has been managing his own portfolio and picking stocks himself (no mutual funds/indexes), put 70% of his portfolio into NVDA a long time ago. Didn’t tell me exactly when but from what I can gather was 5-10 years ago and held through the downturns What a fuckin G

Lifting tip for my experienced exercisors: During max-intensity lifts drive your tongue into the roof of your mouth with a clinched jaw to improve your bracing and ability to push through sticking points Cleans, overhead presses, deadlifts, bench; basically any compound lift

Ok this is pretty crazy The Ecom world has been talking about how AI tools like GPT are basically going to become the new search engine I haven’t written on my Substack in over a year but my old material must be getting hits Future SEO isn’t going to be about ranking on Google it’s going to be about convincing or tricking AI into recomendding your product for you Consumer decision making is going to be outsourced Wild times ahead

Fun little I speak Spanish moment The apartment building I live in has office space on the ground floor It’s been empty for a minute but there’s a new tenant coming in and they’ve been doing construction but we don’t know what it is yet So I see a dude hanging out front and ask him what the business is He looks at me with that “I have no idea what you’re saying look” and after a minute goes, “ehhh, habla español?” Luckily, yes I do! So I ask him again in Spanish and he tells me it’s a nail salon Ok cool My favorite thing about learning the language is being able to have these little interactions! And the surprise on his face when in fact I do speak Spanish lol

Young people shouldn’t take sleep advice from older adults and vice versa When you’re in your 20’s sleep is an optimizer, it’s nice to have and will certainly make you perform better but it’s not necessary Some grit and willpower can get you through most things (& there’s drugs [caffeine]) for the rest But as you get older sleep becomes an absolute bare minimum for performance No longer is it a nice to have, it’s absolutely vital to function Use your younger years to draw on the advantage of not needing as much Because when you get older those 3a nights are gonna take you days (if not a week) to recover from

Why speaking in Spanish is the only way to truly learn Was talking with a friend at the gym today (he works out at the classes) He’s from Venezuela and just started English classes at local community college He talks English and I talk Spanish and we correct each other Anyways I was trying to tell him that I was going to train shoulders during my workout, but I didn’t know how to say shoulder I knew it was something with an H, so threw out “horno” which is oven and definitely not shoulders lmao He laughs and says no that’s an oven Then he was like you give up? Yea ok go ahead tell me “Hombro” DAMNIT! I was close!! We laughed and moved on And so while I just learned how to say shoulders, because of this interaction I will never forget it

My Uber driver earlier picked me up and his maps wasn’t loading Didn’t speak any English So I’m in saying in Spanish, “we’re going to the airport, do you need directions? You can use my phone” He kept saying something I didn’t understand and I told him so, then he used Google translate and it came out saying “I’ll have to call you back” I was like uhhh yea I still don’t understand lol so after a couple minutes neither of us understanding each other his maps loaded and we left As I’m getting out I say “mucho gracias” and he goes “OHHHH!!! Español!!!” And I’m like bro yes do you not realize we were talking in Spanish before?? Lmao Being a gringo people don’t understand that you’re speaking Spanish even when you are. Kind of hilarious
