📢 Quick Update: Focusing on Deep Learning

I am taking a short, year-end break from posting to fully immerse myself in study. I use this platform to document scientific and logical thought, not to post for the sake of activity.

The rest of December will be devoted to rigorous reading and detailed note-taking on the two cognitively demanding subjects currently on my study table: Pain Physiology and Strength Rehabilitation Prescription for individuals experiencing pain.

This intense preparation is intended to refine my current and prospective client exercise prescription and strengthen the content I plan to share in 2026.

For those interested, I have over 50 short to medium articles covering important topics written so far in 2025 available to read at your convenience.

I will return in the New Year with enhanced writing and stronger scientific knowledge. I appreciate the space this platform provides for sharing this journey.

My 83-year-old client recently executed 50 bodyweight squats in one session with exemplary control.

When he first came to me, he could not perform even a single repetition efficiently. This acquired strength now grants him enhanced confidence and ease in daily life.

I am not sharing this to praise my coaching; rather, I am sharing it to remind you that exercise selection must be based on scientific logic and direct transferability to everyday function, especially as we age.

True strength training is straightforward: Focus on the one or two human foundational movements to achieve genuine mastery and resilience. Avoid the pitfall of twenty unnecessary exercises and methods that only lead to suboptimal mediocrity and mere entertainment.

I felt an immediate and deep poignancy when a friend came across this artifact of resistance in Panjim and shared the image with me. It perfectly visualizes the paradox I have lived by: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.” — Niels Bohr

In my opinion, external comfort is often a facade that hides the internal load of physical pain, mental stress, and the non ideal conditions of our modern lives.

We can be surrounded by comfort and luxury and still feel an internal weight that no environment can soften.

My limited knowledge tells me that real strength is not found in optimal setups or glossy performances, but formed through the decision to exert raw force against the disorder.

I like to think that progress is created when I work with what I have, even when nothing around me feels aligned.

I do not think life can always be polished or comfortable. Although I yearn for comfort, it will always be real. And that is precisely why I do not deceive myself.

The Biggest Cardio Misunderstanding

23/11/2025

In training and nutrition, beliefs and opinions don’t change physiology. You can argue with science to your heart’s content, but you will not be able to negotiate with your own biology.

True progress happens the moment we stop defending our subjective beliefs and myths and start accepting the data.

Choose your exercises wisely, because what you invest in now will dictate not only how strong your bones will be, but also the resilience of your joints and your functional independence as you age.

This is a message to all the people who do not participate in events like Ironman, triathlon, marathon, or swimmathon.
You are not missing out. You are, in fact, listening to your biology.
