i feel about this stuff the same way i do about the Menswear Guy: you can't spend all day critiquing other men's clothes and never post a single pic of your own fits. gotta walk it like you talk it
pete this is such a good essay, i just read it again. re walking it like you talk it--and as you suggest throughout here--writing and lifting are SUCH uneasy partners bc their particular varieties of bullshit expose one another lol. you can be strong (or...brave???) for a writer or a good writer for a lifter, but you can't be both. their bullshits are not compatible. by writing about lifting, you're, like...almost betraying lifting. leave it alone, unless you're writing like a Ripetoe-style book, in which case have at it.
that means so much coming from you! right, like, if you were strong or stoic you could convey it in a far more efficient manner than a harper's essay. bullshits are not compatible!
there was a huge bust my freshman year, the new york times reported it and everything, but nothing really happened bc most of the people implicated were underage
i feel i can squat more than a lot of these guys but you dont see ME writing in the point abt it, no sir
