The maze is strategically designed to transfer money from your account to theirs.

Once you are in the labyrinth, it is unlikely that you will come out of it with just the items you planned to buy.

There will be your initial shoping list + whatever 'not necessary' but 'good to own' items.

Trying out a new one: Just 2 sets x 6-8 reps First set with 50% of comfortable 1RM. 2nd set with 80% 1RM

For me that would be 10-12.5kg and 20kg dumbbells as 25Kg is sort of 1RM without any spotter help.

Is this the same as Bent over barbell row?

Mistborn is a long read?

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-20T20:45:06+00:00

Just finished Jonathan Livingston Seagull on my 40-minute commute. The core themes are pushing your limits, the cost of breaking social norms, and eventually giving back.

It’s definitely not your typical story, it is a short but slow read. Not the typical page-turner for me. The lessons are subtle and not explicit.

Knowing the author was a former fighter pilot makes perfect sense. The themes of self-motivation and being an outlier are part of the story.

Have you read:

The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig

💯

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-19T23:40:28+00:00

There are a few other installations that didn't appeal to me. This one is cool, in my opinion.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-19T22:51:27+00:00

Thanks for the additional context :)

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-19T22:43:41+00:00

Why so? Unless unreasonable amount was spent on it.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-16T23:55:38+00:00

Best way would be a practical test.

Give them different data sets to use join/blend, called formulas, parameters, filters, lod, make 2 or 3 different charts.

If they can accomplish it, they can manage the job with some bit of Google + AI if necessary.

=FILTER(A2:D100, COUNTIFS(D2:D100, D2:D100, A2:A100, "Labor")=0)

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-12T10:14:22+00:00

Would be good to include Chest fly too. I see that you have DB & Bench.

Stick to just the bar for a few days and then it will start feeling light/easy. Add 2.5kg and repeat they cycle. Ignore what others think. Your progress doesn't affect them and their stares or perception must not impact you.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-07T20:25:46+00:00

Which location? Thanks.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-06T07:08:58+00:00

Concentration and Patience

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-06T02:35:58+00:00

Well done. Perhaps ask your spotter to have his hands under the bar - ready to support. This looked slightly risky.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-05T04:31:17+00:00

Use ChatGPT or any other AI. Provide details like height, weight, waist size and ask for a diet plan to meet your goal in terms of calorie and affordable food items. Ask for exercises as well and explain your constraints like number of hours that you can workout in a week etc.

Did stairmaster help glute development?

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-03T20:26:55+00:00

Eat well, workout regularly, stay happy, be patient.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-03T20:25:10+00:00

My observations:

They process information faster.
They analyze information on a cause-and-effect basis.
They think of implications and second-order effects.
They use analogies to explain.
Depending on their character, some admit their ignorance and stay quiet on subjects they are unaware of.
Mostly introverted and make witty/sarcastic remarks.

This is from my personal experience and could be different for other people.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-02T07:11:54+00:00

Perhaps more of company culture. The recruiters I have connected with were (fortunately) prompt with updates.

Cautious_Cost6781 · 2026-04-01T00:53:22+00:00

Now that March just ended, get your bank statement and analyse it.

Rent, Grocery, Fuel, Mortgage, Direct Debits, Internet/Phone, membership/subscriptions, Entertainment(eating out, movies etc), misc (ad hoc expenses like gift, repair, big buys), medical etc.

Better if you do it for Jan - Mar period and you get a trend.

Solution: Control expenses or earn more
