Let’s try to improve whatever lift or powerlifting issue you have in mind in a few easy steps. Not that I believe this, but I’m at the waiting room at my physician’s office, nothing to do except wait, so I decided to test a hypothesis: people like lists. As in “how to repair your tooth […]

I just watched Dan Ariely’s TED conference about motivation and work and it made me think about our attitude towards other people’s reaction to powerlifting. Most of us (in fact, I would say all of us) claim we don’t give a shit. I think this is a self-deception. I think saying we don’t give a
