Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honour

Too much circulation makes the value go down.

This is the 16th Law (The 48 Laws of Power) by Robert Greene.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder - By someone.

More equipment was bought and more research was done, there is a little more to go, like the starting weight of each exercise, which I’ll be doing on Sunday ready to start this new workout system on Monday.

I’m going to start with the Bruce Lee workout from the book;

Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body.

With the idea of making it as quick as possible while still retaining its benefits.

I should really start to document this all on video as well. Not only for you guys to watch as I progress through this. But to create evidence of the changes, and to view myself so I can make changes as I go in my technique.

“Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Add what is uniquely your own.”

The plan isn’t to train like Bruce Lee, but that is my starting point. I’m not training to be a fighter, but I do want to remain lean. I’ll start with Lee and move on from there.

And today I stopped the Carnivore diet, not because I think it’s a terrible idea. In fact, I think that if you have some malady that drugs can’t fix, go carnivore for a month or two to see what happens.

In my case, nothing of note. But then I have no maladies to speak of. I take no drugs for problems and rarely get sick. The odd cold once or twice a year. But nothing serious enough that I’d need to take time off work or stay in bed.

The diet itself is just boring.

And I like carbs.

See you Sunday
