Strength Standards…Sleepless in Seattle

via Dan John by Dan John on 4/13/13

Stupidest name for a movie ever: I slept ten hours last night. The weather puts me to sleep. I am here at Perform Better and I gave out my standards from the book, “Intervention:”

Push
Expected = Bodyweight bench press
Game-changer = Bodyweight bench press for 15 reps

Pull
Expected = 5 pullups
Game-changer = 15 pullups

Hinge
Expected = Bodyweight to 150% bodyweight deadlift
Game-changer = Double-bodyweight deadlift

Squat
Expected = Bodyweight squat
Game-changer = Bodyweight squat for 15 reps

Loaded Carry
Expected = Farmer walk with total bodyweight (half per hand)
Game-changer =Bodyweight per hand

Getup
One left and right, done with a half-filled cup of water

Now, the issue is that I have known for a long time that this is fine and all, but, if I truly believe that “Regressions are the Best Corrections,” then I am missing a lot here. So, with the help of Paul Lysengos and Josh Hillis and others, I am working on this:

Fossil fuels - The fundamental question

The fundamental question is, Are we going to dig up all of the fossil fuels and burn them or not.  All of the other questions about carbon policy are secondary.

How to stop hiccuping

If you want to stop hiccuping, just concentrate on not hiccuping for 2 minutes.  If you can keep yourself from hiccuping for two minutes, you will be unlikely to start hiccuping again once you stop concentrating on it.

Word

“To sum up, please remember that not all mutations are created equal. There are many, many mutations, but not all of them are drivers. We have made great inroads into certain cancers, including chronic myelogenous leukemia, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and non-small cell lung cancer with eGFR and ALK genetic lesions. These are single driver mutations that make a huge difference. That said, we know that [many of] these patients eventually have recurrences, many of them are not cured, and other strategies are needed.

I am humbled every day by what I see in my patients. I am further humbled by the molecular diversity of the tumors we find in our patients. I urge you to respect this complexity, but please do not let it intimidate you. The tools we have to interrogate tumors can lead to the identification of critical drivers, and by attacking those targets, we can make a difference in those tumors. To me this paper simply reaffirms the complexity I knew was there and reinforces my resolve to try to understand tumors better to make the best choices for my patients.”

Beerz

It is really a shame that there are no tasty fresh not too expensive 3% alcohol beerz

Cigarette packs of 20

It is rediculous that cigaretes can only be sold in packs of 20.  I believe that this cause more addicts and cigarrete smoking.  If it didn't, then the tobacco comp naies would be fighting it.  Smoking 10 cigarettes a day for 2 days could turn anyone into a nicafiend.

Washing your recycling

Do not waste water, heat and cleaning product reources by thoughly washing your recycling.  Just physically remove non-recycable stuff (food, etc.) from the recycling, maybe give it a very quick rinse, and then recycle.
