Unique Dead

One thing that is unique about the deadlift: it’s a big Central Nervous System shock. That’s the main reason the recovery time is so protracted compared to other exercises. It’s basically tricking your body into thinking, Oh, shit, my life is in danger.

It should be mentioned that this isn’t bad for you. It’s actually good! Controlled stress that is not prolonged of this type improves your mind and body — totally different from the ceaseless, repetitive stress of, say, a terrible job.

But deadlifts are like fighting a bear. This is also why I like them.

Expected Outcomes

As the 1% warped away, and the 10% Teslaed. We did nothing, got Trump. Expect worse.

Failing and Flailing

Yep. I tend to be abysmally bad at anything the first time I try it, too. Like, the worst you’ve ever seen. I’ve shown up to do things and people have literally asked me, “Why are you even here?”

But I also get better really quickly. Generally, in a few months I’m better than the people criticizing me by far. It took me a long time to learn that about myself, though. My family just told me I was worthless and incompetent when I wasn’t good at something right away.

Now, I just keep plugging away and know that I’ll exceed most people after a bit. And I even figured out why I’m such a huge failure early. I don’t trust people to know what’s the best way for me, so I like to do my own thing even if it doesn’t seem to make sense. It’s just in my nature. A lot of times, the “right” way to do something really is correct. But many times, it isn’t. Discovering this is very valuable and often gives me a huge advantage.

So I’ve embraced my incompetence and failure.
