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 mentioned in prior posts the integration of more functional exercises into my training over the past eighteen months or so, however it’s really in the last six months that I’m starting to see the payoff. I’m lifting and sustaining heavier loads, more volume, and longer sessions in the gym.

On a recent episode of The Compound and Friends, they interviewed Neeraj Khemlani and Matt Ankrum on the topic of identifying 100 bagger stocks. Whilst I wasn’t familiar with either guest beforehand, it made for a fascinating discussion and ultimately led me to pick up The Coffee Can Investor: A Stock Picker’s Journey to Build Generational Wealth.

I was already familiar with Demis Hassabis prior to reading The Infinity Machine, largely through documentaries and podcast appearances. It’s clear from any interview with him that he operates at an incredibly high level of intelligence so I was interested to learn more.

I’ve read a number of books on Warren Buffett over the years, covering both his life and his investment philosophy, particularly during his time at Berkshire Hathaway. Ground Rules may now be one of my favourites amongst them.
