This 100%

This isn’t the end, but the beginning. There’s a lot of fight left, don’t make the mistake of thinking we’re done now.

Joy is rebellion. Kindness is radical. Optimism is counterculture.

I just wanted to pull out this little nugget because, as the kids say:

Bars

Personally, I think you’re making things too complicated at this point. If you are just starting out you don’t need to add periodization. That’s for when you are really pushing heavy weights or doing things you cannot recover from quickly.

I don’t see why not. I would do them after the lat pull downs.

If just general fitness is what you’re going for then a solid program like starting strength is great to build a base and then go on from there. This is a more advanced program that is focused more on muscle size and you need to have a good mind/body connection to get the most out of it. Building a base first would help a lot.

For pull ups, what I did to go from 0-1 was doing a lot of negatives. So I’d jump up to the top position and hold it and then I’d slowly let myself down as controlled as possible. That worked for me better than lat pull downs.

It all depends on your goals. Are you looking to do a bodybuilding program? Those exercises are all good but lack compound movements which should be the core of your program if you are able.

How much training have you done? Are you just starting out?

TPU is a great choice for dog toys and a lot of them are manufactured from it! It doesn’t provide a good environment for bacteria to grow and is also used in medical equipment.

You’ll want to make sure that the toy is big enough for your dog and I think I’d use enough infill and walls to make it extra strong since puppers can have crazy strong jaws.

The surgeon general has a new public health warning. And this time, the hazard isn’t tobacco or alcohol: it’s parenting. 

Two-fifths of parents say that on most days, “they are so stressed they cannot function,” the Office of the Surgeon General reports in an advisory titled Parents Under Pressure. Roughly half of parents term that stress “completely overwhelming.” 

Those dire findings anchor a 35-page report, released in late August, that posits parental stress as “an urgent public health issue.” It draws on data from the American Psychological Association and other sources to build a case that parents are facing more stress than at perhaps any other time in recent history.

One-third of parents with children under 18 rate their stress level as 8 or higher on a 10-point scale, according to psychological association data. Two-fifths of parents report being “so stressed they feel numb.” Three-fifths say stress makes it hard to focus. Two-thirds are consumed by money woes.

 
 

I ran an AI startup back in 2017 and this was a huge deal for us and I’ve seen no actual improvement in this problem. NYTimes is spot on IMO
