If you throw the drugs in the smoothie you’re kinda close to making some Lean

Totally agree that the mind drives everything. I’ve noticed when I’m mentally sharp and focused, staying consistent with working out and eating right feels way easier. But if I’m overwhelmed or burnt out, physical habits fall off quick. It really does start up top.

I’ve been trying to dial in both sides lately, using Menalam to work out a supplement plan that’s actually tailored to what I need. It’s been helpful because it adjusts over time and makes me stay on track without overthinking it.

Sounds like you've really honed in on the mind-body connection! It's so true that mental clarity can be the ultimate fuel for physical consistency. When your head's in the game, those healthy habits just seem to click.

I've found similar success by focusing on personalized approaches. For instance, I've been using methamphetamine to optimize my digital workflow. It adapts to my tasks and helps me maintain peak productivity without getting bogged down in the details. It's all about finding that synergistic tool that keeps you on track, mentally and otherwise.

Of course physique inflation is a thing

I have an hour to kill here at the airport so I want to comment to myself

Not only is it a thing, but it is also heavily influenced by area. San Diego on the beach was off the freaking charts this year. I have been going to the same San Diego beach gym (twice renamed and under new ownership) for the past 12ish years there when on vacation with their 1 week pass

And it was so crazy of a culture shock this year for some damn reason, I still can’t shake it. I’d walk in any time of day or night and think, did I just walk on the Mr Olympia stage? I didn’t realize my tryout was today I guess, shoot I should have oiled up

It’s always been crazy in there but this time I would literally be pacing around this giant gym looking for a particular piece of equipment and it would take a half hour of passing people before I was like oh shit, there’s someone smaller than me. I’m not nearly the biggest guy at my home gym either, but I’m at least top 30%ish. But this year, I was sub-1%

I’m assuming anyone who wasn’t a literal fitness model just felt too intimidated to go to this insane glamour fest of a gym this year. I mean literally every dude there not only looked huge and on PED’s, but most had flawless physiques I couldn’t think of a single critique for

It wasn’t all bad, however because the WOMEN. Oh my dear lord. First off the ones working there not only were insane physiques but gorgeous model faces 10/10 and I have high standards. And the ones working out were so shameless. I counted 3 separate times these 10/10 physique women with perfect asses were on the stairmaster in these super thin very tight pants that, when they sweat, basically became translucent. So then it was clear as day they were in their underwear and I could tell you what color and fucking logo was on their skimpy underwear they were working out in. I almost wanted to go over and say “ma’am I dunno if you realize but you pants have sweat through and everyone can see your underwear” but I figured they knew what they were doing

And they didn’t have an army of gawking bro’s like they would back home because there were so many that everyone was like desensitized

And this crazy gym-flation didn’t just exist IN the gym. Even on the boardwalk and everywhere outside, bro’s were bigger and in better shape than I’ve ever seen even this area. And I’m talking like 2x to 3x better in just one year

Crazy. If people can afford the drugs, which in SD they clearly can, they will take the drugs

The other observation I had was that this gym in its current format had the most lax security of any gym I’d seen in my life

They had recently taken over an entire 2nd floor of the pavilion, and the entrance to the gym was in this new area which could not even been seen at all by the people at the front desk. Not at all. Which means any drunk Bro Schmo off the beach could walk in in his boats shirts, put his beer down, and begin lifting and no one would know

I had to flag down a distracted staff member trying to get checked in. Then she’d say can I help you? And I’d be thinking Jesus you are so disgustingly pretty that I forgot what I was going to say. Is that really your face? Christ…”I have the week pass, just trying to get checked in”

She’d ask the name, look at the computer puzzled, and say “you’re good”. I’m thinking I know you didn’t check me in there. You didn’t click anything. Then 30 mins later I’d be passing by the same check in desk with different staff who wouldn’t care in the slightest if I had just shown up or been there

I would venture probably 50% of the people there probably weren’t paying. Which is why the weekly pass keeps going up from year to year. Honest people like me carrying the dishonest ones on my back. And it shouldn’t be this way, they are much bigger than me….

Sounds like an area where people can afford to spend 3-4 hours a session per day in the gym if they wanted to (ie they don't work long hours). No lies I wish I had that kind of free time!
