not HOUSTON quoting fucking PROJECT HAIL MARY what a time to be alive

Sometimes I get sad when I realise I’ve never really had a safe space to be soft and vulnerable. I’m always expected to be strong, capable, and fully put together because my responsibilities are heavy. There’s constant pressure to perform, to provide, to lead, and to hold everything together. Being “100” all the time is exhausting. Sometimes I just want room to rest, to not have the answers, to be cared for instead of always being the one who carries everything.

High functioning depression can look like.. • Showing up but shutting down inside. • Smiling through exhaustion. • Doing everything on autopilot. • Cancelling plans last minute. • Feeling numb instead of sad. • Struggling to enjoy anything. • Looking “fine” to everyone else.

Be careful with a woman who doesn’t go out often. She’s not hiding, she’s building. When she steps out, it’s different, not for attention, not for validation, but because she’s been healing, stacking, and staying focused. Her silence isn’t weakness, it’s discipline. She doesn’t post every move, and by the time you notice her, the growth has already happened. She’s not competing with anyone. Her energy speaks before she does.

New personal best. Leg press, one rep max: 850 lbs. Top 1% 18 yr olds. . Previous best: 800 lbs (2023) . Leg press to weight ratio: 4.97

Engineers-turned-PMs keep making the same fatal mistake in stakeholder meetings: They think logic will save them. After mentoring a few folks, I've noticed a pattern no one talks about:

VO2 max is one of the strongest predictors of how long you’ll live And you can measure yours in just 12 minutes This is how: 1) Find a flat track or road 2) Run as fast as you can for 12 minutes 3) Measure the distance VO2 max = (35.97 x distance in miles) - 11.29 or VO2 max = (22.351 x distance in kilometers) - 11.288

When you are going through a challenging time, let yourself get trained through it. You are almost always being trained for some task in your future that you don’t know anything about yet. When you get to that future task, you will be very glad to be doing it with the new set of muscles you gained through the past challenge. And you will know how impossible it would have felt without those muscles.

Collagen powders don't do much for muscle protein synthesis ('muscle growth). That said, they can aid in connective tissue synthesis. New paper by muscle protein legend Luc Van Loon's team found a combination of whey (25 g) & collagen (5 g) might = best of both worlds.
