💪 Muscle Growth Depends on How Well You Repeat Quality Training 💪

Good technique and consistent exercise execution make each set more effective, while proper recovery helps you return to training ready to perform at a high level again.

👉 Repeatable training creates more growth opportunities

👉 Quality matters more than simply finishing the workout

👉 Recovery determines whether quality can be repeated

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person?
 
[Pourquoi faut-il que nous ayons assez de mémoire pour retenir jusqu’aux moindres particularités de ce qui nous est arrivé, et que nous n’en ayons pas assez pour nous souvenir combien de fois nous les avons contées à une même personne?]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶313 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]

Avec l’autre

Il arrive un moment où l’autre n’est plus interchangeable. Il ne fait plus partie d’un ensemble vague. Il prend une place précise, une place qui ne se remplit pas autrement.

Quand l’autre commence à compter, la relation à déjà fait son travail. Le lien s’est tissé sans bruit par la répétition, par l’attente, par le temps partagé.

Rien n’a changé extérieurement, mais tout a changé intérieurement. Ce n’est pas l’autre qui est devenu différent, c’est la relation qui a crée une singularité.

Compter pour quelqu’un ne signifie pas être possédé, cela signifie être reconnu, exister pour l’autre au-delà de l’utilité ou de la fonction. Ce moment est beau, mais il reste fragile, car reconnaître l’importance de l’autre, c’est accepter de devenir vulnérable. Quand l’autre commence à compter, la relation change de nature, elle n’est plus un passage, elle devient un lieu où quelque chose engage, et c’est souvent là que l’attente porte enfin son fruit.

Ah, the age-old quest for finding the perfect #memorization hack! 🤔 Well, here comes the #spaced #repetition article, promising to revolutionize your brain with a sprinkle of #Haskell and #nootropics. ✨ Just remember, if this method was truly foolproof, #Gwern would be running Apple by now, not blogging about it. 😂

A quotation from Charles Kettering

[T]he more education a man has, the less likely he is to invent new things. Possibly this is because from the moment the boy or girl starts in school he or she is examined three or four times a year and a failure or two and he or she is out. Now because an inventor works differently, he thinks that’s all wrong. He knows he’ll never go far on any problem before he strikes snags. He may flunk 999 times but if on his 1,000th try he succeeds, he wins! The only time you don’t want to fail is the last time you try a thing.

Charles F. Kettering (1876-1958) American inventor, engineer, researcher, businessman
Essay (1952-01), “Don’t Be Afraid to Stumble,” The Rotarian, Vol. 80, No. 1

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

If one lived for ever the joys of life would inevitably in the end lose their savour. As it is, they remain perennially fresh.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 2 “Byronic Unhappiness” (1930)
