@DorothyDimock A few miles up river.

@MarkBski Because the mouth of the Columbia is so wide the impact would be miniscule.

Why not astride the mighty Columbia River from where they emerged on their inland trek and laid their eyes on the Pacific Ocean. Roll on Columbia roll on.

@TheEagleyeNews The Missouri is excellent and was my first thought. The Columbia is also excellent. I read another comment suggesting multiple monuments through the course of their epic journey. On the Snake River near Lewiston & Clarkston, for example. Overall I LOVE this idea.

@MarkBski Sorry, I'm trying to catch up, you can understand I am way behind *whew*. I was thinking the Missouri River. Thoughts?

Holy crap, I’m trending with Lewis and Clark!

@AgnesBullock62 @TheEagleyeNews Can't disagree !!!

@TheEagleyeNews @MarkBski Must be the Missouri- on the bluffs near Florissant. Next set on the Folumbia then Idaho and Montana Smaller versions at the border of every state they crossed….. Go big or go home!

Or the Snake River near Lewiston, ID & Clarkston, WA.

@ketosprinter I don't mean to boast, but I've survived 3 or 4 global apocalypses already.

The fear machinery is happening

Eat right. What you eat is the material your DNA uses to create your mind & body. Every cell in your body, every molecule in every cell that is you was first something you ate. Every thought you think was first something you ate. In mind & body, when you eat the wrong things your DNA does not have the correct materials to build a better you.

Your body makes better versions of nearly everything the supplement industry sells you. But you have to eat right and treat it right.

@FLEXjss @texasrunnerDFW That's solid. I finished my BS in management in my mid thirties. That was easy.

@MarkBski @texasrunnerDFW I earned my MBA from 33-36, working full time and going to school at night, studying on weekends, raising 3 kids. Still went to the gym every morning. Then I did my CMA, which took another 3 years, finished at 39. Could I do that now? Solid maybe. LOL.

Once you’re past 35, are you just going to keep being gradually more tired every year for the rest of your life or is a there a second wind somewhere? Anybody suddenly stumble upon newfound energy in their 40s? 50s? 60s, maybe with retirement? Naturally, no HRT or hacks

@arunkumar3112 And it need movement to. My suggestion is heavy squats.

Calcium alone does not build strong bones. Your body also needs vitamin D to absorb calcium properly. It needs vitamin K2 to help direct calcium into the bones instead of allowing it to accumulate in places it should not. It needs magnesium because magnesium supports the entire process of bone formation and mineral balance. Without those nutrients working together, calcium alone is not enough.

@Misha_Again_ This is awesome. Over a year ago I tried training Olympic lifts and realized I do not have the natural athleticism required. In time I think I will try again.

It’s official 90# can easily, without fear, be thrown overhead in a snatch movement!! I am floating so high right now. The work I have put in to make this a reality. Three weeks until competition day.

@TheK_Nox Quite certain it took me a few years to get to that point.

Would I be crazy saying the average man can’t bench press 135 pounds?

@MichaelPzone Oh yes. And it's not limited to lifting.

@MarkBski Appreciate it. There’s something about barefoot lifting that makes the movement feel more natural and grounded.

Years ago I only cared about pulling heavier. Now I care more about whether I can still do this 10 years from now. 120kg (264 lbs) x3.

I had earned an AS in chemistry (bad career choice) and an AS in electronics by the time I was 27, attending classes part time night and working full time. I studied and managed to party all weekend. Nowadays, I'm crashed out by 8:30. There is a slow and gradual diminishment of energy throughout our lives. I could not have done that schedule even in my thirties, nevermind now.

@texasrunnerDFW Not a runner but seriously 35 is quite young. I competed in Powerlifting in my 40s and did my last competition at 50. I'll be 59 in 2 months and I'm still lifting 6 days a week. Energy is fine. Strength has tapered off though. If you're tired it's not age, how's your diet?

@Emmachuuks @b2hcraig @DeanTTraining @KingiJosh try them all and decide

@MarkBski @b2hcraig @DeanTTraining @KingiJosh Which is best for biceps curls because I feel a little tension on my wrist while using the straight bar and does the Ez bar give any special advantage?

Gym bros, quick question: What’s the real difference between these two bars? Which is better for bicep curls? Let’s settle the debate.

@LiveAncestral I stopped eating bread and all chemical amalgams about 7 years ago. We are much better off eating natural human food.

The government is adding folic acid to all UK flour by law this December. They call it a public health win. What they are not telling you is that folic acid is not folate. Folic acid is the synthetic oxidised form of vitamin B9. To become usable, the body has to convert it using an enzyme called DHFR into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form your cells can actually work with. A significant portion of the population carries variants of the MTHFR gene that impair this conversion. Enzyme activity can drop by up to 70 percent. Unmetabolised folic acid accumulates in the blood instead. I carry an MTHFR variant. Most people who do have no idea. They eat their fortified bread and assume they are getting folate. They are not. They are accumulating a synthetic compound their body cannot process efficiently. No screening. No individual consideration. No acknowledgement that the conversion pathway exists. Just mandatory fortification for every single person in the country. Real folate is found in food. Liver is the most concentrated source and it delivers folate already in the active 5-MTHF form. No conversion needed. No gene variant problem. They are adding a synthetic vitamin to a food that drives metabolic dysfunction and calling it progress. I don’t eat bread anymore but if you still eat bread, choose 100% wholemeal, rye, or ancient grain varieties like spelt or einkorn. These are exempt from the law. White and standard brown bread are not. Do you know if you carry an MTHFR variant?

@ItsAndraz It starts with dietary disinformation.

@MarkBski What would you say is the main reason? Lack of strong reason, not knowing how…?

If you had to give your best answer, what makes the majority of entrepreneurs neglect their health?

@b2hcraig @Emmachuuks @DeanTTraining @KingiJosh Totally agree on the ez bar for bi & tricep curls. But what are your sentiments to the other bar? I enjoy them both.

@Emmachuuks @DeanTTraining @KingiJosh The EZ curl is better because it matches most peoples natural elbow path and is much less stressful on the wrists and elbows.

@dr_duchesne It was different when I read it at 22 than when I reread it at 62. But so was America.

@MarkBski I read it while on a trip to Florida from Canada, 2019; found it in a used bookstore at Jacksonville. I enjoyed it; it reflects restless-rootlessness of whites but American above all, always travelling on roads.

@LiveAncestral I had to learn the difference between food and not food. Nutrition science ~ the FDA, USDA, CDC, NIH, etc, claim not food is human food and safe for consumption by humans and children.

Eating plants is a choice. Eating animals is a biological requirement. When you eat a plant, you are choosing flavour, texture, or habit. There is nothing in a plant that your body cannot survive without, or that it cannot get more efficiently from an animal. But let’s stop pretending a salad and a steak are doing the same job in the body. Animal food gives you complete protein, B12, heme iron, choline, DHA, creatine, taurine, carnosine, glycine, preformed vitamin A, cholesterol and the fats your body actually knows what to do with. No plant gives you all of that. Not one. And before someone starts going on about “balance”, humans were eating animals long before supermarkets told everyone they needed fibre cereal to be healthy. Animal food built us. Plants were extras, seasonals, fallbacks, flavour, medicine, sometimes survival food. You can enjoy plants. I do not care what anyone puts next to their steak. But calling plants and animal foods nutritionally equal is nonsense dressed up as health advice. One is optional. One built the human body. What was the one bit of nutrition advice you had to unlearn?
