5. Being able to do the sit and raise test

This test is well-supported by research as a predictor of longevity.

A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that the ability to sit and rise from the floor is a predictor of all-cause mortality

6. Complete 25 unbroken pushups

This is a test of upper body strength and endurance.

Just managing 10-15 pushups puts you above average for 40+ adults.

Completing 25 unbroken sets you apart from most people over 40, showing muscular endurance and overall fitness.

7. Dead hang for 1 minute

This is a test of grip strength and overall endurance.

Hanging for 1 minute puts you above average for 40+ adults.

Hanging for 2 minutes sets you apart from the vast majority and shows superior muscular endurance and functional fitness.

I should add that the farmers carry can be subjective.

If you’re overweight or obese then doing your bodyweight for 2 minutes might not look realistic to many.

Pretty much many of these require us to be at a healthy weight and metabolically healthy state.

For a free guide on getting metabolically healthy send me the DM “HEALTHY” and I’ll send it over.

For everyone having an issue with the farmer carry using bodyweight for 2 minutes:

"advice for myself..." tends to be the best type of advice.

Stop Acting Like You’re Famous
Advice for myself around leisure activities.

You aren’t famous. Anything you do or create will probably receive little to no attention, so stop optimizing for a non-existent audience and instead focus on what makes you enjoy the activity.

Want to try a craft or artistic hobby? Focus on mastering the skill and enjoy the variety it can provide. You don’t need to build a personal style. No one will care. Want to do photography and think black and white photos are cool? Great! You don’t need to create an Instagram branded all around your moody black and white photos. Most likely you’ll get bored of it and want to try a different type of photography, and that’s great. You aren’t Ansel Adams, no one will care if your “style” is all over the place.

Do you want to build an app or website but don’t enjoy the process of designing? Then make it ugly. Who cares! Design is for an audience and you don’t have one. Functionality is more important right now. Maybe a designer will notice and want to improve it for you, but until then take pride in your crappy UI.

Blogging is fun and therapeutic. Grammar and editing aren’t. As long as your thoughts are coherent, don’t worry too much about writing mistakes or filtering yourself. Just use Grammarly to fix elementary-level errors and move on. It’s more about the writing process than the final product.

The most egregious thing you can do with any activity is daydream about how you can make money off of it. That’s the quickest way to optimize for the wrong things and suck the fun right out of it. Most likely you will stop doing the activity almost immediately, so save the money-making schemes for work.

In the end, find something you enjoy doing and just do it because you enjoy it. If you have to, make some goals for yourself, but never for your “audience.”

David Shapiro's book on Psychadellics

Attention all psychonauts, trip sitters, shamans, taitas, mamas, facilitators, guardians, seekers, and journeyers!

My psychedelic book is taking shape! The title is changing to HAVE A NICE TRIP! with the subtitle "A No BS Guide to Getting the Most Out of Plant Medicine"

I want to talk to people! I've had plenty of my own experiences and now I've been to retreats and such. However, there are many approaches and I've already talked to a lot of people (more than a dozen interviews already!)

So, if you're interested in contributing, please HMU in the comments and we can exchange some DMs and maybe hop on a call.

Books people Re-read

Ryan Holiday asked ppl on X... "What's your favorite book to re-read?"

social proof to me that there's something in these books that are either perpetual or discoverable on subsequent reads.
