80% of your results come from doing the basics.
- Hit your Macros
- Workout at least 2x-3x per week
- Sleep 7-9h per night

When I’m 85 years old, I’d be disappointed if I spent my entire life living somewhere I didn’t like in order to have 30% more money.
(And that’s assuming that living somewhere you don’t like doesn’t cost you attention or the network of people who don’t care about taxes).

Resting less than 1-2 minutes between sets isn’t the play.
You end up going into a set fatigued which inhibits performance.
Shit performance = less hypertrophy/strength adaptations.
Minimum 3-5 minute rest between sets for me.
2-3 minute rest on smaller isolation work.

I have unfortunately seen this a couple of times as a result of chiropractic neck adjustments and jiu-jitsu.
(not together, but hard to tell the difference based on youtube chiropractors).
Something like this can happen due to [ctd]

Trying to maximise hypertrophy?
You have no business maxing out a 1RM.
Trying to maximise strength?
You have no business doing lateral raises for sets of 20.
Your training needs to make fucking sense.

Your body is like a resume.
It shows how well you take care of yourself.
It shows how much respect you have for yourself.

I’ve got clients in their 60’s who are new to lifting.
Building muscle/strength at decent rates.
Training age matters more than chronological age.
Muscle can be built at all ages.
Make no mistake about it.

I used to study a lot, and thought I was smart. I was wrong.
Two definitions changed my life:
1) Learning = same condition, different behavior.
2) Intelligence = speed of behavior change.
So if ya wanna be smart, ya gotta learn. If u wanna learn, u gotta change.

People’s standards of what’s achievable as a natty are pretty low.
You can get strong and jacked as fuck.
Just don’t be surprised if it takes a decade.
The pill nobody wants to swallow.

There are times in your career where you have to switch “circles”.
You’ll be better for it.

10/ Take care of yourself
Business leaders rarely tell you this secret: they hire the absolute best to take care of their health.
If you want to make it to the big leagues, know these people obsess over health.
To make it, you have to too.

Imagine that instead of researching your idea, designing a logo, trialing 7 tools, and talking to 10 friends, you just built a simple landing page and started promoting your business and the problem it solves.
You might fail, but you'll learn 1000x faster than procrastinating.
