  • I’m not sure if “impressed” is the right word for what you’re trying to describe. I’m just going to address the first example to try and figure out what you mean.

    Stuff that has big value is worth a lot of money. Thus money is based on people being impressed.

    This sounds tautological. Is “big value” not synonymous with “worth lots of money”? I’m reading this as saying “Something that is worth a lot of money is worth a lot of money, and people are impressed by things that are worth a lot of money, so if people are impressed by something, it will be worth more money.”


  • I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

    You might enjoy something similar if

    • You like seeing numbers go up or big numbers in general
    • Don’t like being sore after workouts
    • Enjoy simple workouts

    Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

    That’s kind of an odd question. I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I’ve never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I’ve never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don’t see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

    How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

    If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It’s a paid app.



  • I bake quite a bit and I don’t do my mise-en-place either when it comes to baking, but that’s not a problem. The way recipes are formatted works well for my process as well. I read through the steps ahead of time if it’s a recipe I am unfamiliar with, then I’ll just have the ingredients list open while I’m doing the prep. The things I make are pretty basic (cookies, cakes, muffin, etc) and the steps are all identical. Mix wet, mix dry, mix everything, bake.

    I personally find that having less repeated information makes things easier and faster to read. The recipe says “add flour”, you know that it’s all the flour. If the recipe says “add flour (1 cup)”, then I have to check back in the ingredients list to figure out if that’s all the flour or only part of it. Then the more info you add to clarify, the harder it is to skim while you’re cooking.
