Hyrox kerfuffle

People who are annoyed at Hyrox for vice sponsorship, "because that's not healthy", have completely MISUNDERSTOOD THE PRODUCT NICHE. 

If you want to be healthy, you count your macros, plan your sleep, do calisthenics, and work on hard problems. 

If you want to HAVE FUN IN GROUPS, you dress up, cheer lead/follow, do funny things, and pay money to an event organiser.

It's like roadbiking - no one needs a speedsuit. Or a carbon bike. These are SOCIAL PERFORMANCES.

how to be friendly but inoffensive

At today's social club, we talked about modelling as a euphemism for escorting. Kuala Lumpur is not exactly a couture hub, but you will meet many models and former models from all over the world, more or less from certain countries. A subtraction of labour metrics gives you some idea about the depth and breadth of each industry. I have a deep respect for sex workers, and would probably be one myself if I was prettier. Being the ugly motherfucker that I am, I can only speak well about them. While I enjoy philandering, I have not generally been wealthy, so I do not pay in cash or goods for companionship, except in sharing ordinary household hospitality. So when I bump into pretty girls on apps or in real life, I am typically shy because I do not wish to offend them by telling them about these facts in the wrong way. Modern life is probably not more complicated than life ever was. 

how to run long

For glute activation on distance running, remember to maintain a tall stance rather than a forward hunch. A lean backwards is overdoing it. 

SWING : From that position, legs drop down ASAP with minimal forward kick

STANCE : absorb impact with lateral border of foot, rolling from smaller to middle toes, finally arriving at largest toes, then maximising backward kick through the arch
