Thinking in Black and White

Thumbnail image for Thinking in Black and White

All too often, people like to shift between two modes. They’re either on a diet, or off a diet. They’re either eating clean, or swallowing everything in sight. Either on a perfect workout routine, or doing nothing at all. I’m guilty of that as well, and I attribute it to my impatience and perfectionism. Very [...]

Often people train to impress, but lifts often regress. Trying to find the ultimate secret, yet never looking inward. The fact is that you live your life, make your own decisions, bask in your own achievements. Take people’s advice, but charge forward own your own device. Charge forward, Show Yourself what you can do. Share [...]

On the pursuit towards health and fitness (Handstands @ 90): Do you have the maturity to listen to your body? Do you have the discipline to keep up with your routine day-in-day-out? Do you have the focus to block out all distractions when you train? Do you have the patience to experiment with your body [...]

Have a Great 2010

The year 2010 will be like a blank sheet of paper; free for us to draw and write on it to create a new story. However, that blank sheet will be a continuation of your book of life. It is contextual. It is specific. It is YOURS. If there’s one new year’s resolution which I [...]

Christmas 2009

Thumbnail image for Christmas 2009

Christmas Time is Here, and its time to share the cheer. Rightly so, Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. Feasting and basking in the warm aura of friends and family deserves a place in everyone’s calendar. For many people, this means putting on their fat pants and accepting some fat gain. [...]

Reading About Science

November 26, 2009
Thumbnail image for Reading About Science

Just like Michael Shermer said, “Science is not a thing, it’s a verb. It’s a way of thinking about things.” What I want to talk about is not the horrendous inaccuracy of so much of science journalism [1], but rather, certain rules of thumb to take note when reading about science (or anything in general). [...]

When to be concerned about the minutiae, and when not to

November 21, 2009
Thumbnail image for When to be concerned about the minutiae, and when not to

Lots of people get caught up in the minutiae. They want to know every possible new method of treating a disease/ curing an ailment/ etc, and pounce upon every single possible new theory in “science”. What I contend in this article is that there are known responses of the human body towards certain stimuli, but [...]

The Experimenter Mindset

November 10, 2009
Thumbnail image for The Experimenter Mindset

In my last post about The Right Beginner Training Mindset, I said that I would elaborate much more in the final point: The Need to Adopt an Experimenter’s Mindset. This post is that elaboration. This is a long post, and I go into some details and examples. However, as per usual, you can get the [...]

Accumulation

October 29, 2009
Thumbnail image for Accumulation

Once again, I give you a monster post – about 2400 words. In almost anything that we can endeavour to do, the end result is often the product of numerous tiny accumulations which become significant over the course of time. Tiny jumps in the evolutionary ladder brought us apart from our chimpanzee cousins (albeit very [...]

Scientific Research: The compilers, commentors and the researchers

October 8, 2009
Thumbnail image for Scientific Research: The compilers, commentors and the researchers

In this article, I talk about the biases that can arise from so called scientific research. A disclaimer, this article stands at about 3700 words, and is by no means an easy read in terms of the concepts thrown out and the length itself. Needless to say, this is not for everyone. But if you’re [...]
