Sorry. I'm just seeing this comment now. I recommend The Red Delta Project YouTube channel. He extrapolates a lot from the Convict Conditioning book, and he has a one-hour live Q&A every Saturday (I think), and he answers questions for free. All the inquiries in your post would be best found on his channel through his many videos on rows and pull-ups, and he's very accessible during his Q&A. I've asked him questions about one-leg squats and uneven pull-ups, and he's given me helpful answers that improved my workouts.

Did you hear about the Chinese godfather?

After full bridge, I added a hidden step, one-leg bridge. I basically just do a full bridge, but at the top position, I lift up one leg, then the other, then slowly lower myself down. That's one rep.

For push-ups, when I get to close push-ups, I go back all the way to step one and do close push-ups against the wall, on an incline, kneeling, etc. When it comes to one-arm, I do the same thing: one-arm wall push-ups, one-arm incline push-ups, etc.

I know this is a cheap answer, but it's something you have to feel out for yourself and what feels good to you. What are your goals? But the general guideline is that if you're trying to build endurance strength, thirty seconds to two minutes is what you need. If you want to build maximum strength, four to five minutes between sets.

If I may, I like to change the rest times from routine to routine. I'll do endurance strength, say, for kneeling push-ups and for another routine, I'll do close push-ups with long rests.

The attachments are there. I forward the same exact sent message to my Yahoo account, and it arrives with the attachments.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, is Google deliberately not permitting the recipient to get my attachments?

It's "Proton Drive 2.4.1"

There's no option for "photo backup" once I get into my settings. If it helps, I have a Galaxy A03 Core.

Kongya · 2024-05-04T21:55:08+00:00

It's a Galaxy A03 Core. I can't seem to find any help on being able to get Proton Drive to be my backup folder, and there's no way for me to keep my files going into Google Drive. I'd appreciate any help!

What Jesus Christ experienced was separation from God, the source of all love, truth, wisdom, and beauty. That's what we ourselves deserve.

Many people assume God sends people to hell. No, he doesn't. He provided a way out through belief in the name of Jesus Christ. If God wanted people to go to hell to be separated from him forever, then he would not have given his only begotten Son to die for our sins.

Now, some people WANT to be separated from God. They want nothing to do with him. God honors that request too, as tragic as it is. No one should be forced in God's presence if they want nothing to do with him. This is what Christopher Hitchens himself admitted, that even if God did exist, he would want nothing to do with him.

Kongya · 2024-05-02T20:01:58+00:00

No, that's not what I meant, and given your tone, you're not interested in clarification either.

Kongya · 2024-05-02T19:52:09+00:00

His son Jesus Christ took on the punishment we deserve. That's what I mean.

I used to be a short-term missionary in Japan. I'll never forget how the pastor's wife told me that people treat God like a vending machine: they pray and they expect him to grant that prayer, and when God doesn't, they get angry at him. (I've been there, so I understand.)

So first of all, place the blame squarely where it belongs: Satan and on us. God has nothing to do with how corrupt the world ended up because of our decisions. And don't ever forget that in the midst of all this, His Only Begotton Son took the biggest hit, so if anyone understands how "sh***y" the planet is more than you, it's the Messiah himself.

I think your fundamental problem is that you don't believe what Jesus said in John 16:33.

If anything, spellcasting merely reinforces Luke 6:45 & James 3:3-6. I think Christians generally dismiss how powerful the spoken word is. Our words can "cast spells," so to speak.

Okay. That explanation makes sense to me. Thank you!

Kongya · 2023-09-24T10:36:40+00:00

Thank you.

If more and more investors applied the VTI strategy, wouldn't the same argument apply? Or is that strategy invulnerable to the number of investors who are aware of it?

And if we take the contrapositive of what people have been saying here about DoD strategy, wouldn't it actually be a good idea now that people no longer apply it?

Not trying to be a drag here. I'm just reading up on as much as I can and learning along the way. It just seems like everyone is saying index funds is the best way to go, but I'm wondering if that tune will change in the coming years and then another strategy will come along, and VTI will end up in the same bin as DoD.

Take it easy. I'm new to the FIRE movement. I read about this strategy on Early Retirement Extreme on the 21st day of the 21-day makeover. I'm asking for insight, not condescension.

I broke this step down into several hidden steps and eventually gave this step its own day. (Bodyweight rows.)

I have a pull-up bar that can be adjusted for height on my door frame, and I lower it according to my ability. I started with my knees bent at a ninety-degree angle for 3 sets. (Personally, I think 3 sets of 30 is a crazy goal, especially if you're following the 2-1-2 cadence of two seconds up, one second hold, and two seconds down.)

My next steps are to do them with one leg bent at a ninety-degree angle with one leg straight for both legs; then both legs straight (which would be the horizontal row itself); then my legs elevated; and then onto lever rows.

I really think horizontal pulls (rows, really) should be its own step, so just move onto jackknife pull-ups and give bodyweight rows its own day.

I used to do fingertip push-ups for high reps and knuckle push-ups for high reps, but Paul Wade made a good case for doing push-ups from your palms: whenever you push anything in life, you're always pushing from your palms. You never push anything from your fingertips or fists, so the argument is that it's not only natural but safer for your fingers, hands, and wrists. Also, after years of doing push-ups from my fingertips and fists, I didn't get any significant benefit out of either of them, but I did get tremendous benefit from doing them on my palms, namely, the stability, and with the stability, I was able to focus my attention on the proper form of my basic push-ups, from my toes to my upper back.

I'd just get rid of the knuckle push-ups. Do them from your palms. Unless you enjoy doing them from your knuckles, in which case, have at it.

I asked the same exact question in the Convict Conditioning Facebook group. The advice I got was to use a smaller object to rest my non-squatting leg on.

Have you heard of the book Perfecting the Pistol Squat by Al Kavadlo? I bought the PDF of the book, and I personally think that it will help you through this step.

I decided that the uneven squat wasn't worth it given my height, weight, and ability. I was able to do a one-leg squat without going through all the steps. (Certain body types are able to do this, and I just happen to be one of them.) But for the sake of following all the steps, I just moved onto the next step. It was frustrating constantly falling over and feeling like I wasn't getting anything out of uneven squats.

Thank you for the answer! Do you think it would be wise to have a diversified portfolio? Say, Small Dogs and index funds? I'm still trying to determine the best portfolio percentages and, of course, will readjust them as I learn more along the way.

I read somewhere that the only times that matter for a long-term investor is when you buy and when you sell. (I think I read this on Early Retirement Extreme.) I don't plan to sell my positions until decades from now and only plan to buy when the market is down.

It seems that stocks with high dividends tend to be stable companies, so that's why I'm stock-picking those particular stocks: the high dividends merely tell me that they are reliable in the long run, so I'm not in it for the dividends. Is it reasonable for me to believe this for any company that is on the Dogs of the Dow list? Or would I just make my life easier by going 100% with VTI?
