I love this, well done!
As these companies become larger and larger, they start behaving more and more like Soviet central planners.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. We've become a centralized economy through weak monopoly enforcement.
Combine that with everyone $500k poorer because the billionaires acquired it. A recipe for depressed, anxious, angry, feed-addicted rats in a cage.
The last six months I've been lifting 3-4x a week, about an hour each time. I was hitting a wall in March-April with a 4x6 program, so I switched to Wendler 531 in June. So far it's a lot easier! My squat days had become a huge stressor, but not with this program!
I want to eat right and see how far I can get by New Years. I would love to beat 850lb combined lifts by then, but we'll see.
Life goal would be to squat 3 plates and deadlift 4. That would be so cool
I'm 5'6", 150lb, early forties. Lifting off and on since first reading Starting Strength in 2015. This year I've been back on. Rotate between running, lifting, and long distance hiking. Current lifts are
- deadlift - 130kg/286lb
- bench - 86kg/191lb
- squat - 113kg/249lb
nothing impressive, but I'm pleased. I can run a ten miler, ruck 25lb for 20 miles, crank out 50 pullups in 10 minutes, and generally have a good time. I figure that's not bad for middle age. I want to keep up with this indefinitely so no crazy pressure to push too hard.
In 2020 my deadlift was at 350lb - hoping to get back to that by the end of the year.

I used my old standby QMK and just wrote the config with cursor/vim.
