Since discovering Cryotherapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy nearly a year ago now, they’ve become a firm staple of my recovery routine. Whilst I’d tried Red Light Therapy a couple of times before, I hadn’t prioritised making it a regular commitment.

Recently though, I decided that rather than having RLT down the list as a ‘nice to have’, I wanted to start treating it with the same consistency as my other recovery practices.

I recently added the Consistency in Motion tracker to the site after becoming aware a few months ago of an upcoming milestone of sorts, crossing the cumulative distance of 24,901 miles tracked on Strava since I started using it in November 2020.

Another leg day, another personal best recorded. As I touched on in a previous post, incorporating more consistent functional training is continuing to pay dividends for my leg strength. This morning, I hit 172.5kg for a one rep max on the seventh set out of my standard ten.

I’ve always thought it’s important to expose yourself to arguments that challenge your existing views. Not necessarily because you’ll change your mind, but because understanding the strongest version of an opposing argument helps test your own thinking and identify any weaknesses in your position.

With that in mind, I decided to give The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton a listen.

I think Market Wizards: The Next Generation is the third book in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards series that I’ve read. Whilst not a trader myself, I’ve always enjoyed gaining a better understanding of how the various traders featured in these books operate.

I must admit I came into Animal Spirits expecting the focus to be somewhat narrower and more centred on markets and trading than what it turned out to be. In fairness though I think that’s more due to my bias word association leaning directly to trading when I hear the term "animal spirits”.
