EIDETIC: Operational Master Plan (Evolving Infinite Digital Education, Training, and Instruction Catalog) --- 1. Vision & Mission Vision: To redefine human learning as an infinite, adaptive, and empirically driven process, free from outdated limitations, and to create a global network of capability where performance, truth, and personal growth are paramount. Mission: To deploy a modular, AI-enhanced, gamified educational ecosystem that integrates seamlessly with social, corporate, and institutional environments — enabling lifelong learning, career acceleration, and personal mastery

A Short Primer On Density Training: I wrote a book awhile back called The Density Training Manual. It teaches a revolutionary system of programming which will help unlock your training progress for the rest of your life. This post will help you understand the basics of the manual. 1) Density is the master variable: What is density in this context? The amount of work done within a given amount of time. See, time is the component of training that is least understood/most underutilized. Understanding how to use time as a tool to enhance your programming and increase your progress is key to the Density Training Method. 2) Constrained novelty: The Density Training Method limits the changing variables a Density Practitioner tracks to a single focus, within the context of periodized progressive resistance training (a designed training program bounded within a span of time, usually 4-12 weeks). 3) The Basics: Density Blocks - A time-bounded practice of a movement, or combination of movements, practiced repeatedly over time with the aim of increasing performance along one variable (less time, more reps, or more weight, as examples). Supersets - Two exercises performed in sequence, designed to most efficiently use the time allotted in a given Density Block. Drop Sets - The Density Practitioner uses a modified form of drop sets within a Density Block, aiming at a specific quantity of repetions by starting at the highest reps per set and decreasing as the block progresses. Training Journal - A tool to track training performance and progress, both intra-session and extra-session, over time in order to be precise within a given training period and to more efficiently design periods as training data accumulates. Tally System - A method of tracking reps within your training session to make sure you're staying accurate and focused. Stopwatch - The tool you'll use to track time during your training sessions in order to adhere to the system's dictates. 4) The Basic System: In this section I'll get into the basics of the Density Training Method. First, a better description of Density Blocks: The Density Practitioner designs a block, most often using a superset (though that's not necessary, just more efficient for most lifters), with the following variables primarily in mind 🔽 - Block Duration - Movement Selection - Weight Used - Reps Performed The Density Practitioner will only manipulate one of these variables at a time, usually reps (but there are great reasons to focus on the other variables for specific reasons), starting beneath maximal capacity and gradually ramping up over to achieve supermaximal performance by the end of the period. So let's take a look at the design. Training Frequency: 3x Weekly - Monday, Wednesday, Friday Density Blocks Per Session: 3 Density Block Duration: 15 Minutes Rest Between Blocks: 5 Minutes Goal: Hypertrophy Reps Per Set Constraint: 5 Variable: Reps per Density Block Period Duration: 8 Weeks 5) Putting It Into Action - For hypertrophy, use a 10-rep hard as the starting weight (test yourself on a movement, to find the weight at which 10 reps get really challenging, but not to failure). - Perform your initial session, keeping a tally of reps, starting at 5/set, and decreasing over time as it gets harder. Aiming at maximal performance. - Goal for next session is ≈75-85% initial session. - Goal for 3rd session is +1 (or more, but designed your advance with intelligence) the rep-count of the initial session - Continue adding reps across the training period, aiming for at least+1 (preferably more) compared to your initial session. That's it for this post, and gives you a basic understanding of the system. The Density Training Manual is more richly and specifically detailed, and adds massive value to what I presented here. If you want to know more, I'll link the book in the post below. I hope you found this useful, and thanks for reading. GET DENSE!

“By small and simple things are great things brought to pass” (Alma 37:6). Last March, as Kathy and I were assigned to speak at RootsTech, President Jeffrey R. Holland told me he was planning to attend. I insisted that he participate with us on the stand. He shared a very sacred experience when he teetered between life and death a few months before and what he learned about the importance of prayer. It is a message for all of us, and is shared in his open and transparent way of speaking. I will never forget his profound influence upon me and I look forward with great anticipation to our reunion in the years ahead.

Moments ago, I officially filed an appeal of the CIA’s FOIA denial wherein they refused to even confirm or deny whether they have records about a publicly known interstellar object. Yes, a space rock. Apparently acknowledging paperwork exists is too sensitive on this one.
