So @balajis promised me to go deadlifting If I'd come speak at his conference And so he did 😝 He also built an absolutely maxed out gym at the Network School, all equipment is new, lots of squat and bench racks, it has like 16 air conditioning units, absolutely perfect executed gym 👏 The Network School is a 3-month program that starts yesterday on an island near Singapore, people live there, sleep there, eat there, do workshops, and might even build startups there and importantly for their brain and body health: they can lift weights and exercise there too!
