@DeanTTraining I curl on the lat pulldown now facing the other way. Regular curls or hammer curls Game changer. I’m also doing BTB / Bayesian curls on an incline bench for added stability

@adamtaggart People think this is a war with Iran.
But looking at the big picture, I see a race. With China.
The race for AI and energy. Iran is just one power move more to the finish line. 💯

Most people don't need more protein to build muscle.
They need to train more.
Protein isn’t the main driver of adaptation, training is. Muscle growth, strength, and metabolic health are primarily stimulated by mechanical tension and progressive overload, not just a higher protein intake.
Protein’s role is supportive. It helps repair and build after you’ve given your body a reason to adapt. But without a meaningful training stimulus, more protein doesn’t translate into better outcomes (e.g., more strength, greater lean mass).

@RayDalio I love this Ray. 🔔
When it comes to speculative bubbles, people think they can bet on any company in that industry because the tech is strong.
But what they're really betting on is the long-term survival of that company.
Which is low probability to begin with. 💯

When new technologies emerge, people often assume the winning technology automatically means winning investments. History shows us that’s rarely the case.
Most companies disappear as competition sorts out the winners and losers, but the underlying technology will endure and continue transforming the world.
So are we in an AI bubble? Yes. But that has nothing to do with the lasting power of this innovation. @theallinpod @friedberg

Thought the #Patriots needed CB depth, and they get it in Kindle Vildor, who spent 2023 with Mike Vrabel’s Titans and 2024 with Terrell Williams in Detroit
The veteran was competitive vs underneath routes, intercepting Mac Jones, and a solid jammer on ST

@SantiagoAuFund Economic statecraft. Trump has weaponized energy.
Energy is now a strategic asset.
English

The US didn't just attack Iran. It closed the Strait of Hormuz itself, and nobody's talking about the real reason why.
@anasalhajji, one of the most respected energy analysts in the world, just published an extraordinary breakdown of what's actually happening in the Strait of Hormuz. The short version: Iran didn't close it. Insurance companies did. And the US has every incentive to let it happen.
Here's what actually occurred. Emails were sent to oil and LNG tankers claiming to be from the IRGC, saying the strait was closed. No official Iranian statement backed this. Nobody knows who actually sent the emails. But within hours, European insurance companies canceled policies or jacked premiums so high that tanker operators couldn't move.
Cargo ships and container vessels passed through fine. Nothing happened to them. Only oil and LNG tankers were affected. Why?
Notably, the administration has not criticized the insurance companies or pushed back on rising oil prices, a departure from its usual stance of vocally opposing anything that raises energy costs for American consumers.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan oil was pre-positioned in US ports before the crisis began, specifically to replace Iraqi crude that would be cut off by a Hormuz closure. That doesn't happen by accident.
The 2025 National Security Strategy document lays out the framework:
US dominance runs through AI, and AI runs through cheap, abundant energy. The strategy is to make energy cheap domestically and expensive for competitors. To do that, you need control of global chokepoints: Panama Canal, the Red Sea, Greenland's Arctic passage, and now Hormuz.
The Hormuz disruption accomplishes several goals at once. It forces Asian companies to abandon long-term LNG contracts with Qatar and the UAE in favor of American suppliers. It cripples competitor access to fertilizer exports (33% of global supply transits Hormuz). It drives chip manufacturers to reshore to the US. And Trump's offer to provide Navy escorts and US-backed insurance for tankers gives America indirect control over the strait indefinitely.
The biggest beneficiaries of a closed Hormuz are the US and Russia. The biggest losers are Europe, Asia, and the Gulf states themselves.
Iran is the excuse. Energy dominance is the goal.

@snipeder Agree wholeheartedly.
But no need to FOMO in now. We will have another long-term entry in due time.

@JoeLFGPatsPod @MichaelFFlorio That's rather significant. Begs to question the value of acquiring Brown for the price Howie is asking.
I see the obvious short term benefit but, given his knees, highly questionable long term.
I would front load a deal to mitigate future years.
English

Why the Rams backed out per: @MichaelFFlorio:
“They were talking to the Eagles about A.J. Brown,” Florio said. “They got scared off by some of the – as I'm told – preliminary medical research. They decided, too much of an investment for a player at this age, general wear-and-tear. ‘We’re not going to do it.’"

@TXMCtrades
Good afternoon:
You mentioned about the 2022 May fractal. I'm not the best at harmonic patterns but I gave it a go.
IMHO, it resembles the bearish "Bat" fractal.🦇
It's my observation but the daily chart supports the narrative. Might not be that funny after all

English

@MhagamaFau31375 Ok that's fair. Correlation doesn't imply causation.
But damn...the "Gartley" pattern sorta played out on this one.
Didn't take the trade but would have 3x'd my position from the reversal point to the 1hr Candle Range High.
I'll keep studying this.

English

@RoderickMelvin No, not exactly. ✅ Harmonic patterns are specific price structures based on Fibonacci ratios. ✅ Liquidity sweeps are when smart money hunts stops or fills orders before a move. Sometimes they happen near harmonic levels, but one doesn’t equal the other.
English

The Secret Code of Harmonic Patterns 🧩
Most traders ignore it, but the market moves in mathematical harmony. 🎯
If you want to catch reversals with precision, you need to know these 4 Bullish Harmonic Patterns and their Fibonacci ratios:
🔹 Bullish Gartley
🦇 Bullish Bat
🦋 Bullish Butterfly
🦀 Bullish Crab
The magic happens at the D leg. That’s your potential reversal zone (PRZ). 🔄
✅ Gartley & Bat: Deep retracements (0.786 or 0.886) for low-risk entries.
✅ Butterfly & Crab: Extreme extensions (1.27 to 1.618) for explosive moves.
Bookmark this for your next chart analysis. 📈
Which harmonic pattern works best for you? 👇

@TXMCtrades It's all about private equity.
The franchise sells their land away to them and then has to pay them rent on their own location. On top of the usual costs.
It's killing these franchises where it doesn't make sense to continue.
This will continue.
English

People will blame this on the franchises charging $25 for cheese and dough without noting 50% of all dollars ever to exist were created since covid.
This must be what our elders felt like seeing a baseball go from $0.25 to $15 in their lifetimes, but it only took 6yrs for us.

Things are getting real - one of Domino’s largest franchisees has just filed for bankruptcy protection, and Papa John’s reports that 300 of its stores are underperforming.

A coin graduates from Pump.fun. Days later it rips 20x or more. You never even knew it existed.
No screener shows you what's moving after the bonding curve. DexScreener buries them. Axiom doesn't track them. Also, you just see the chart after it's too late.
So I built one. Real-time bubbles for every graduated memecoin on Solana.

@andrewadesilva @TheBillsGuys @Cover1 @tiltmoney Right in the Pats wheelhouse.
EDGE/WR the 1st priority and let the safety they want fall to where they want him.
English

@TheBillsGuys @Cover1 @tiltmoney This safety class is truly wild. There are guys who could go late day 3 that I think can start in the NFL.
I’m most curious how that changes boards. I think 2-3 go early, then we see a gap of 20+ picks then a run of 7-10 guys go 50-110.
English

Tonight, we start our 2026 NFL Draft Positional Preview Series with Safety. With CGJ and Geno Stone inking one year deals this is still VERY MUCH a position of need in a DEEP class.

@MhagamaFau31375 I daytrade memecoins. Shitcoins.
So instead of opening bell - 15min, I use your strategy for open launch (1 full hour). Memecoins have massive volatility in the first couple hours so you have to account.
Same rules just a different timeframe. Works rather well for memecoins.

🔥 1st 15-Minute Breakout Strategy
Most traders lose here - here’s how to win:
📌 Mark the range — High & Low of 1st 15-min candle
⏳ Wait — Do nothing inside the range
🚀 Trade the breakout —
· Above High → BUY
· Below Low → SELL
📉 Sell example:
Break below Low → bearish confirmation → SELL
⚠️ Confirm with volume/RSI. Best for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY.
Trade structure, not noise. 🎯

English

@MhagamaFau31375 I'm trying to find the moral of this story.
Is it that Smart Money ALWAYS anticipates retailer going on first signal (CHOCH, Bullish/Bearish Cross, RSI over bought/sold, etc)?
And therefore the perfect setup for a liquidity sweep?
English

@MhagamaFau31375 I would buy on the retest of the new high.
Buying at Manipulation is very aggressive and risky
