@Carl-Richard You are likely right about not just relying on the studies. Philosophy based training. While, using the science as a field of probabilities. Then, you yourself become the experiment n=1, and the scientist. I used ChatGPT as well after this and it helped me spell out what top body lifters use: They use a combination of: 1. Science 2. Coach Experience 3. Athlete Intuition 4. Technology 5. Practice Refinement. Interesting stuff!

I think science based lifting makes sense…. Top athletes use science in their training which is why they outperform people from 100 years ago. It’s funny because pills have the same problem with weight lifting. Science done to represent populations rarely work on individuals which is why doctors often struggle to get medications “scientifically proven to work on populations” to work on an individual. I would also suggest it is possible that pills do offer far more complexity than lifting weights. Each pill is a unique chemical compound which can be extremely hard to measure how it effects the human body and especially when people are taking a mixture of medications….. People lifting weights is largely the same process for everyone. People may have different recovery times and stuff, and each body may react somewhat uniquely but it’s not the same level of adding a unique compound to the body. That being said, science based lifting does make sense. It just has to be done intelligently, and allow for direct experience of working with an individual to adjust and make personalized fixes. It’s unrealistic to take scientific studies of soccer moms when looking at highly motivated weight lifters and that makes sense. But, are there not studies in your chosen population group that you can study? And not all science is simply controlled trials… some science is looking at things like cellular metabolism, nutrition, etc…. This backlash against science in lifting is dumb. Is it conformity? I think your overall premise of philosophy based lifting is interesting. But, I also bet that science is being used in your decision makings. Coaches who train professional athletes to be the best in the world have a strong understanding of sport science. That is how they create consistent results in their field. So, I’m open to criticism of science based lifting but I do not think it would hold up as a complete move away from science based lifting. My sister works in sports nutrition and she studies sport nutrition science very deeply. It’s obvious to her that through her scientific education individuals have unique nutrition and training needs. That’s what the science shows. They don’t just rely on population studies alone. There is also data collected from individuals….

Leo, I am among the 0.4% of your viewers according to my YouTube 2025 reflection thing. Flex. 💪 Big brain big brain

As soon as someone lies about being an Alien and a reincarnated Yogi…. Why am I wasting my time? I did forgive Leo for his turning into an alien thing. But, I knew him long before and yeah. I am aware of noise to signal ratios and people can make mistakes. Teal just not someone I resonate with and I question her intellectual integrity. I’m open to changing my mind but not interested right now. Like, there is a list of bullshitters: Bashar, Infinite Waters, and I think Teal is largely on there too.

@Leo Gura Yeah…. I guess I’m just through the stage where I listened to people like her and infinite waters, and you, and Jordan Peterson and everything else I could get my hands on as I tried to make sense of things. Your work, though flawed is the best I could find for video teachers. It’s probably the best. I’ve since found many more great teachers as well. I don’t need Swan and her BS. Now, I have my teachers and things i am focusing on. Have to say no to things. Waiting for ur next video, but focused on studying Alex Hormozi books and applying to my coaching offer… and investing in my next few certifications….

Spend hours sorting through her bullshit? Fuck that

My main focus is studying to work on my coaching offer but I enjoy working on this in the evening a bit

Crazy how some simple changes to the synth make the demo much better. The song feels much better to me… just keeping the synth more simple for the first minute and a half lets it grow more naturally. The real recording will be tighter, I’ll be vocally warmed up and not whispering. I will record it again later this month but it’s time to work on another demo

In Junior high our principle made it against the rules to say retarded so we called things “Ridiculous” which I thought was funny.

The madness of ishowspeeds fans is conformity I think.

Leo’s is talking about conformity in a specific broad context…. Conformity…. Going along with political opinions of Fox, or your family and friends.

@Leo Gura Patience.

@Ponder Léo loves debates

A form of conformity I fall into is given music with more listens more value. For example if I see a song has 1bill streams and one with out 500million I tend to bias the one with more streams as better.

@Miguel1 There is a lot to learn.
