zap zap heres half your life back
I like to think of ectoplasm as a substance that does whatever it wants. Electrocution? Heat to the point of melting? Tearing something into chunks and reassembling it? Why not all three?

Climate Change issues aside, I hate to complain about Pittsburgh having 60 and 70 degree days in February; but these rollercoastering temperatures are killing my joints - especially my shoulder. :-(

Steady Burs
If you go down to the woods today you might come home covered in sticky plant parts. These may be the burs or dry fruit of 'hitchhiker' plants like Harpagonella palmeri (left) – they often use animals as vehicles to spread their seeds. Bioengineers are very interested in H. palmeri’s secret – tiny hooks (seen zoomed in on the right), which allow the fruit to spread their weight across an attached surface, especially one that might be moving quickly. The researchers find that varying the spacing, size and stiffness of these hooks allows the plants to balance the stressful forces involved, so they can cling on. The team are now investigating ways to mimic these plucky plants in human surgery, where, H. palmeri might inspire new ways of attaching moving tendons to bones.

This is how the vessel protects the mind, how the mind protects the heart
Her body has made a decision of its own accord. There is no thought guiding it, no reason. Tendons pulled taut beneath her skin with a conviction that she didn’t choose. This is survival. This is how the vessel protects the mind, how the mind protects the heart, how the heart goes on forgetting that its calling is to be undefended, that being broken is part of being whole.
― Lily Brooks-Dalton, The Light Pirate (Grand Central Publishing, December 6, 2022)

A great proponent of my training is working with Isometrics mainly of the Overcoming & Hybrid variety (Hybrid is a combo of Overcoming & Yielding Isometrics). It continues to give me results that not only shaped my physique but keeps me in shape with the dynamic movements I do. Learn about Hybrids & Overcoming Isometrics from @red.delta.project book Overcoming Isometrics available below for either paperback or kindle. It's one of the most unique aspects on the subject of Isometric Training out there today. Get your hands on it. https://amzn.to/3lmZy29 #isometrics #overcomingisometrics #isometricexercises #isometrictraining #hybrid #hybridisometrics #reddeltaproject #isometrictrainingcourse #fitness #exercise #musclebuilding #strongbody #power #tendons #ligaments (at Hayden, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CogeqWULIl1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
