#hardstyledumbbell: See-Saw Press

Clean the dumbbells as usual. Keep one dumbbell in the rack, and press the other overhead.
While pulling it back to the rack, press the other dumbbell.

“Always make sure that you keep your eye on the one that is being pressed.”– Siegmund Klein

„It was a very effective strength and muscle builder, and provided a high level of work for the abdominals, obliques and spinal erectors. Indeed, many old-timers believed that the see-saw press was one of the most effective exercises for the obliques.” – Brooks Kubik

"If you are a poor 'Two Arm Presser,' and will devote about three months time to the 'Two Arm See-Saw' Press, you will be surprised how much stronger you will be when you return again to the 'Two-Arm Press.'" –Siegmund Klein

Would you rather be strong and tight? Or flexible and weak?
I choose to be both strong and flexible.
I choose to be @strongfirst & @flexiblesteelinternational

Apart from my dumbbell project, I am currently working on regaining my splits, and so far, it goes pretty good.

Why?

“Is that something that you need to do for your performance outside of several sports like Tae Kwon Do or gymnastics? No, you really don’t.
Is that going to improve your wellbeing? I do have to say that the sense of freedom that you have in your hips when you consistently can do a full split, it’s really pretty awesome. To have that feeling of freedom in the hips, you can only know that freedom if you also have known what not to have it, if that makes any sense.”

— Pavel, in: Tim Ferriss Show @timferriss, Episode 55

Freedom in all forms, I am in.

#strongfirstresilient: Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch

#strongfirstresilient: Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch with a Kettlebell Overhead

Hold a kettlebell overhead (e.g. right foot back, kettlebell in the right hand.). Lift your spine, arm, and the kettlebell up with your hip.

“Holding a weight overhead enforces the upright bearing necessary for stretching the hip flexors—which makes for a great drill.” (Super-Joints)

A study by Katherine Dahlsgaard, Christopher Peter

A study by Katherine Dahlsgaard, Christopher Peterson, and Martin Seligman looked at how virtue is articulated in Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, and what they call “Athenian philosophy” (mostly Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle). They found a rather surprising amount of congruence among all of these religious-philosophical traditions and identified a set of six “core” virtues:

Courage: Emotional strengths that involve the exercise of will to accomplish goals in the face of opposition, external or internal; examples include bravery, perseverance, and authenticity (honesty).

Justice: Civic strengths that underlie healthy community life; examples include fairness, leadership, and citizenship or teamwork.

Humanity: Interpersonal strengths that involve “tending and befriending” others; examples include love and kindness.

Temperance: Strengths that protect against excess; examples include forgiveness, humility, prudence, and self-control.

Wisdom: Cognitive strengths that entail the acquisition and use of knowledge; examples include creativity, curiosity, judgment, and perspective (providing counsel to others).

Transcendence: Strengths that forge connections to the larger universe and thereby provide meaning; examples include gratitude, hope, and spirituality.

–Massimo Pigliucci, “How to Be a Stoic”, 2017.

“Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Obedience is doing what is told regardless of what is right.”― H.L. Mencken

Often quoted also as:

“Conformity is doing what everybody else is doing, regardless of what is right. Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.”

"Do this. Don't do that. Stay back in line. Where'

"Do this. Don't do that. Stay back in line. Where's tax receipt? Fill out form. Let's see license. Submit six copies. Exit only. No left turn. No right turn. Queue up and pay fine. Take back and get stamped. Drop dead — but first get permit."

"In past history popularly elected governments have been no better and sometimes far worse than overt tyrannies."

"What I fear most are affirmative actions of sober and well-intentioned men, granting to government powers to do something that appears to need doing."

“Limiting the freedom of news 'just a little bit' is in the same category with the classic example 'a little bit pregnant.”

"I will accept any rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."

– Robert A. Heinlein, "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", 1966.

"Science fiction novel" they say...

“Aim lower. Aim at something you will in fact do

“Aim lower. Aim at something you will in fact do. Do it. Then, having succeeded, aim a bit higher.”

– Dr. Jordan B. Peterson @jordan.b.peterson

“Take the case of one whose task it is to shoot a spear or arrow straight at some target. One’s ultimate aim is to do all in one’s power to shoot straight, and the same applies with our ultimate goal. In this kind of example, it is to shoot straight that one must do all one can; none the less, it is to do all one can to accomplish the task that is really the ultimate aim. It is just the same with what we call the supreme good in life. To actually hit the target is, as we say, to be selected but not sought.”

– Cicero, “On Ends”, III, 22

“The wise person considers intention, rather than outcome, in every situation. The beginnings are in our power; the results are judged by fortune, to which I grant no jurisdiction over myself.“

– Seneca, “Letters to Lucilius”, 14
