  2. Divine gym truths

    There are things about lifting which are so overgeneralized that they are obviously wrong, but at the same time they are absolutely true. Sometimes our scientific view would suggest that there should be counterexamples, but there are not.

  10. Why you should start a blog

    The other day I asked a friend for their blog URL and they did not have a blog. I was shocked. I thought every intellectual has a blog (or some other outlet) nowadays, but I was wrong. Because having a blog is such an obvious thing.
