Their reactions are caused by your reactions to their actions. What if you don’t react? The book is essentially about forming your own opinions, following your own path and not anyone else’s opinion.
After I listened to Total Recall - Arnold Schwarznegger for 2 hours. Incredible story of his life, from when he was a little kid and had to do pushups to earn his food to his time in the military, to meeting the weightlifting champions and getting mentored by some of them, to winning Mr. World, Mr. Olympics and many more titles.
When I went to the gym I tried his way of training, similar to a Fibonacci pyramid but from the heaviest weight of 1 rep and towards lighter weights with more reps.
It’s harder than one might think. I had to go down in weights by 5-10kg when I was hitting the higher reps in many cases.
At night my girlfriend came to me and made some nice tapas plate with garlic bread. It was great.
Haha man, you're really positive and I can sense the gratitude in your posts towards what you do in your everyday life. Do you feel any more noticeable changes towards procrastination? The Arnold story is a well known and popular one. I guess everyone wants to move somewhere, learn the native language, become the best bodybuilder, become famous then marry one of the governments leaders and run a province which name you can't even pronounce lol. I've recently started high intensity interval training along with my weight lifting and have noticed a great amount of body fat decrease and muscle mass increase. Goodluck with your journey.
Thanks
