Fitness

I'm finally learning how to balance my health with insane productivity. Now, I want to help everyone do it.

• This site is about my personal journey
• I created documentation for the keto diet at keto.dev
• I'm attacking this project at a more fundamental level via my work at TrueMed.

I hope you find this actionable & inspiring... or that it provides a high-fidelity data point in your mental-map of how people optimize themselves.

Programmers aren't usually paragons of fitness, but I believe our physical bodies are important and precious. I want to be extremely lean for energy & longevity... but it's also just fun to look awesome.

Let's all get shredded!

Specific

• Bulking
• Cutting

General

• Be patient, work in 6-month phases. Build muscle for 10+ weeks, then cut fat for 10+ weeks.

• Always eat 200g protein / day. You will have to supplement with protein powder for this.

• Re-arrange your environment if possible.

• Make a specific plan.

• Change your mindset on suffering. Stop focusing on the destination, become the type of person who enjoys discipline.

• Consistency is king; this requires resolve.

• You will always have injuries. Adapt.

Opinions

• It's much easier to cut on keto

  • Reduced cravings
  • Consistent energy levels

• Pre-workout seems dangerous

• Plant-protein is easier on the stomach than whey

  • Mix it up throughout the day!
    • 1 scoop of whey
    • 2 scoops of plant-stuff

• Stop binge drinking alcohol

• Stop drinking sugar

• Eat a big breakfast

• When cutting, if you just go to bed hungry then you're 90% there.

Platitudes

Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody want to lift this heavy-ass weight. I'll do it, though.
