When it comes to managing pain, feeling better, performing. The most important question is... What is your goal? Is your goal to be able to sit at work for an hour without pain? Is it your goal to be able to play 50 holes of golf on the weekend without the fear of soreness or pain from affecting you on Monday? Is your goal to finish the 5k in three months that you've been training for and all the sudden you are noticing a "weird pain" in your heal and lower back? Or is it your goal to be able to cook dinner and enjoy a show without having to take a rest? To reach each goal it's going to take a personalized approach. An approach that takes the time to understand you. Your history, what you've tried, what has and hasn't worked. Your past injuries and how they affect you now. An approach that looks at your activity, or lack thereof and works with you to reach your goal. When it comes to personalized rehab & personalized strength training, the only thing that matters, is you, and whether or not who you are working with is helping you reach your goals. I help you reach your goals.

The Anthropic rugpull is a bit of a mini-Sputnik moment for European leaders. They have had a few of these recently, discovering the hard way just how far behind the continent has fallen in the past 20 years or so. Its not going to get better. There will be another shock from the space side as well. This year, China will likely crack first stage reuse, get into the business of serious megaconstellations. At the same time, Starship - which to European leaders is nothing more than an explosion every couple of months - will get to orbit and start ramping up cadence. Everyone who understands the sector knows whats coming, but politicians here will be convinced its all smoke and mirrors until they wake up one day seeing both the US and China with a decades long lead over them in another critical sector.

Today feels like a good day to reshare this clip of Ariane Aerospace’s CEO calling SpaceX’s reusability plans “a dream”

Never. Give. Up.

I don’t know if I’d put @AnthropicAI as worst company - but pretty wild to get switched to Opus 4.8 when not properly phrasing hip internal rotation the way a model prefers.

Shocked at how upset some folks are that I'd say the heroes of World War II were just regular people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. That's WHY they were heroes, folks. Because they were made of the same stuff as you and me, and won the worst war in human history.

Wait. Google is paying SpaceX $920 million per month for GPUs? Google. The company that builds its own TPUs. That runs one of the largest cloud infrastructures on earth. Is renting 110,000 Nvidia GPUs from a rocket company. I'm honestly not sure what to make of this. Either Google's AI compute needs have gotten so massive that even they can't build fast enough. Or SpaceX has built something in AI infrastructure that nobody was paying attention to. Or both. $920M a month. $30B over the contract. Whatever is happening behind the scenes at these companies is moving way faster than what we see publicly.

Antares Mark-0 has achieved initial criticality! ⚛️

Movement of the Week: Goblet Squat with a Pause Every day we sit down and stand up. Sometimes the chair is a little lower than we're used to. Sometimes there's no chair at all — we're squatting down to pick something up, and we need a hand to get back up. A goblet squat with a pause trains you to be strong in the bottom position where some people get stuck, and where those everyday moments happen. When it comes to working with clients, we usually start with a weight they can do easily — sometimes that's bodyweight, sometimes even assisted, and stay there for the first two weeks. Then we add a little more weight to take it from easy to moderate and stay there another 2-4 weeks. Finally, a heavier weight for 2-4 weeks. If you want to make standing up from a seated position easier, or squatting down to pick something up less of an event, this is a great movement to add to your routine. The Movement Hold a weight at your chest, elbows tucked. Feet about shoulder-width apart. Squat down until your hips are just below your knees — or as deep as you can control. Then pause. Hold for three seconds. No bouncing, no sinking, just holding steady. Drive through your feet and stand back up. That's one rep. The pause is the important part for this movement. If you're rushing through it or collapsing at the bottom, lighten the load until you can control going down, pausing, and then going back up.

One of my favorite things about working with younger clients is talking with them about how the habits they build now translate to the habits in their 20s. 30s, 40s and onward.
