Those are some great thoughts. I know what you mean about lifting weights. I always used to love that ache you get in your armpits later in the day or the next day after bench pressing. It's an interesting feeling. I think when you look at it in the physical side, it helps make the mental side of things make more sense. When you lift weights you are tearing them down so the body can build them back stronger. We need to recognize that applies to our minds as well.
I'm so on-the fence between challenging that & launching into a sales pitch and keeping my mouth shut. 😹
May save the full convo for a different time - unless you're actually curious on how that may be a conventionally-embraced "truth," though not actually the entire picture and a sub-optimal strategic premise for bodybuilding and wanna go there. Mighta just bumped an idea in my writing queue up that we'll get to later. Though in mean time, IF you're wondering wtf I'm talking about and are keen for a great ADHD sidetrack - I HIGHLY recommend getting & reading this book...
Interesting. I'll have to bookmark that. I don't really follow much of anything. I just know what I have been told and I know that I need to do something to give myself a little bit of activity each morning. I've been able to see the results with my Total Gym, so that is enough for me, whether I am doing it right or wrong.
If you don't feel it the next day or two, you didn't life enough! :D
It has for me. What I have noted over the years is that the observations I have made are close enough to the "truth" in the sense that it describes the basic process, even if not factually accurate. For me at least, having the story I can use on the fly is more valuable than having a lot of accurate facts that are difficult to apply.
Yeah, that is a good point. You at least get the "jist" of it.
