@lancearmstrong @shawstrength Sorry. Can't get behind anything Lance says or does. He purposely ruined peoples lives to hide his deception. He's a cheater, liar and a man of little principle.

@lancearmstrong @shawstrength For about a decade I was a big fan of Lance Armstrong, until the world found out he’s a fraud. He destroyed careers of many other cyclists and the whole cycling world with his drug abuse.

If you want to actually train your Chest as efficiently/effectively as possible instead of WASTING YOUR TIME…. I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A - Incline (Clavicular Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Pec Fly Machine x 2-3 Sets Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after Upper A) - Flat/Seated (Sternal Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Seated Low to High Cable Flys x 2-3 Sets This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Chest work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Chest mightily if following the notes below: 1) The ideal rep range to be using when performing the exercises mentioned is the 5ish to 10ish rep range — Choose a weight you can do for 5, 6, 7 reps @ 0-2 RIR…once you can do that weight for 8, 9, 10ish reps, increase the load by 5ish pounds 2) You should perform all reps of all the listed exercises with a controlled (but not overly slow) eccentric and an explosive (but still controlled) concentric 3) You should perform these exercises very early in your workout to ensure they are as efficient/effective as possible — If you perform them later on, you will not get as robust a growth stimulus from the sets because of the outstanding fatigue that will be present from the earlier sets/exercises in your workout Additional notes: - You may sub any of these exercises for comparable exercises due to preferences and/or equipment availability — Ex: Flat/Seated Machine Press subbed for Flat Smith Machine Bench Press or Flat Barbell Bench Press - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post below

My Polymarket bot is finished! It’s fully automated, I just run it and let the magic happen. At the start of each "Bitcoin Up or Down" round, the bot only watches the market during the first 2 minutes (configurable). If, during that time, either UP or DOWN drops fast enough, a price drop of at least 15% over 3 seconds (configurable), the bot triggers Leg 1 and immediately buys the side that dumped. After this first buy, the bot will never buy the same side again. Instead, it waits for a hedge opportunity on the opposite side. The hedge (Leg 2) is triggered only when: Leg1 entry price + current opposite ask price auto on [sum=0.95] [move=0.15] [windowMin=2] > shares: number of shares bought each time (for both Leg 1 and Leg 2) > sum: total price threshold that allows the hedge > move: dump threshold (e.g. 0.15 = 15%) > windowMin: number of minutes from the start of the round during which Leg 1 is allowed In this example, I ran: auto on 10 0.95 0.15 4 The bot watched the market for the first 4 minutes and bought 10 DOWN shares at $0.35 after a 17% drop in 3 seconds. A few seconds later, it bought 10 UP shares at $0.56, because: 0.56 + 0.35 = 0.91 < 0.95 That locked in a clean 9% profit. Why limit the strategy to the first 4 minutes of the round? Because early in the cycle, the market still has time to dump further and then stabilize. The closer you get to the end of the round, the lower the probability of seeing large corrective moves. Early on, there’s still time for volatility to play out. You can watch the video, the first order triggers at 2:50, and the second order at 3:02. If you’re interested in the bot, DM me.

I will decipher the schedule laid out in the original post by hitting you guys with…. The GREATEST 4x Per Week Workout Plan known to man: UPPER A Exercise 1: Seated/Flat Chest Press Machine — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 2: Wide Grip Lat Pull-Down — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 3: Seated Low to High Cable Flys — 1-2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 4: Chest Supported Machine Rows w/ Neutral Grip — 2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 5: Seated Machine OHP — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 6: Seated Machine or Dumbbell Curls w/ Upper Arm Support — 1-2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 7: Incline Bench Cable Tricep Push-Downs — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 8: Seated Dumbbell Hammer Curls w/ Upper Arm Support — 1-2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR LOWER A Exercise 1: Leg Extensions — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 2: Seated or Prone Leg Curls — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 3: Pendulum or Hack Squats — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 4: 45 Degree Extensions — 2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 5: ADduction Machine — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 6: Ab Crunch Machine — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 7: Calf Press on Leg Press — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR (Partial reps from the dorsiflexed position to the neutral foot position) UPPER B Exercise 1: Incline Machine Press — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 2: Chest Supported Machine Rows w/ Pronated Grip — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 3: Pec Fly Machine — 1-2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 4: Single Arm Lat Pull-Down — 2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 5: Cable or Machine Lateral Raises — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 6: Cable or Machine Preacher Curls — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 7: Cable or Machine Overhead Tricep Extensions — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 8: Seated Dumbbell Hammer Curls w/ Upper Arm Support — 1-2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR LOWER B Exercise 1: Seated Leg Curls — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 2: Leg Extensions — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 3: 45 Degree Extensions or SLDL/RDLs — 2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 4: Calf Press on Leg Press — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR (Partial reps from the dorsiflexed position to the neutral foot position) Exercise 5: 45 Degree Leg Press — 2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 6: Ab Crunch Machine — 2-3x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Exercise 7: Machine Hip Thrusts — 2x5-10 @ 0-1 RIR Notes: 𝗩𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 If you see an exercise with a VARIABLE set count listed (Ex: 2-3x5-10), you should do the HIGHER NUMBER in the event that you are some combination of: -Not pressed for time -Do not need to decrease your time spent during rest periods in order to fit all of the work in even if selecting the higher number If you see an exercise with a VARIABLE set count listed (Ex: 2-3x5-10), you should do the LOWER NUMBER in the event that you are some combination of: -Pressed for time -Would need to decrease time spent during rest periods in order to fit all the work in if selecting the higher number 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗬 If you do NOT trust your ability to gauge RIR accurately, take sets to ~0 RIR/Failure to ensure you’re not sandbagging sets Should you elect to do so, be sure NOT to take any 50/50 reps (reps you’re not sure you’ll get) on exercises like Hack Squats to avoid ending up in a susceptible position 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 3-3+ minutes rest between WORKING sets is ideal. 2 is fine but that is the ABSOLUTE FLOOR!!! 1-2 minutes rest is fine between WARM UP sets 𝗭𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝟮 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗢 This just means activity performed at roughly 60-70% of your estimated maximum heart rate for a sustained period of time Example = A 3-4 MPH Walk on a 10% Incline for 45 Minutes

My 7 Day Aesthetic Split Mon: Upper Chest + Side Delts + Biceps Tue: Back Width + Triceps Wed: Delts Only Thu: Legs + Core Fri: Pump Day Sat: Arms + Cardio Sun: Light Legs + Recovery (Below will be my entire workout / weight lifting plan + nutrition breakdown) Be sure to add 30min cardio after every weight lifting session. Incline: Max Speed: 2.5 - 3 This is focused on width, capped shoulders, chest shelf, tight waist, and staying athletic year round. 7 Day Aesthetic Split Monday: Upper Chest + Side Delts + Biceps Incline DB Press Incline Smith Press High to Low Cable Fly DB Laterals Cable Laterals Seated DB Curl Hammer Curl Tuesday: Back Width + Triceps Pull Ups / Assisted Pull Ups Wide Grip Lat Pulldown Single Arm Lat Pulldown Single Arm Row Rope Pushdown Tricep Pulldowns Dips Wednesday: Delts Only Seated DB Shoulder Press DB Laterals Cable Laterals Rear Delt Fly Face Pulls Shrugs Thursday: Legs + Core Walking Lunges Squats Deadlift Leg Curl Hamstring Curl Calves Hanging Knee Raise Cable Crunch Friday: Aesthetic Pump Day Incline Press Pull Ups Cable Fly Row Variation Laterals Rear Delts Pushup Burnout Saturday: Arms + Cardio EZ Curl Incline Curl Rope Hammer Curl Skull Crushers Pushdowns Overhead Cable Extensions Incline Treadmill 25 min Sunday: Legs Light + Recovery Leg Press Extensions Hamstring Curl Calves Core Circuit Walk 30 min Meal plan for the week, I like to switch it every now and than from ground turkey to ground beef, filet mignons steaks and chicken. You can use white rice or sweet potato’s as your carbs Use this meal plan as a foundation, not a limitation. Per Meal: - 200g 97/3 Ground Turkey (raw) - 100g Cooked White Rice - 90g Mixed Vegetables Macros per meal: Protein: 44g Carbs: 28g Fat: 6-8g Calories: ~400 kcal Daily Target: Protein: 190g Carbs: 140g Fat: Less than 50g This is a clean, simple structure built around high protein, controlled carbs, lower fats, and foods that are easy to prep consistently. That alone can change a lot for people. The real key is adjusting it to your bodyweight, goals, activity level, and timeline. Fat loss, muscle gain, maintenance… all require different numbers. Use ChatGPT and ask something like dis: “I weigh ___ lbs, I’m ___ height, I train ___ days a week, and my goal is to lose fat / gain muscle / maintain. Use this meal plan as a base and adjust my calories, protein, carbs, fats, and portion sizes.” That prompt alone can save you months of guessing, use my workout plan + meal plan for 5-6 months. I promise you, you will drop weight and chisel up Start with structure. Adjust with data. Stay consistent. My peptide stack: Retatrutide Appetite down. Fat loss up. Blood sugar support. This one helps people move different when discipline meets science. Tesamorelin Targets stubborn visceral fat and can help tighten the midsection. Recovery + body composition play. MOTS-c Mitochondria support. Better energy production, endurance, and metabolic efficiency. Feel like your engine got tuned up. BPC-157 Recovery weapon. People use it for joints, tendons, gut health, and healing nagging injuries that slow progress. GHK-cu Skin, hair, healing. Known for regeneration support and helping you look healthier while recovering better. AHK-cu Mostly talked about for hair support. Used for scalp health, follicles, and helping promote thicker growth over time. It isn’t rocket science, it’s just consistency. I’m no where near where I want to be. Still need maybe 7-8 months of dieting to get down to 10-12% body fat and than I’ll maintain from there.

📊 Things I dislike and Like about Mikal Bridges — aka Mr. 5 First-Round Picks (Also a 2028 1st Pick Swap with BK) 🗒️ 5 firsts is the most ever for a non-All-Star and he makes the same $37M as Şengün — a homegrown All-Star. 🗒️ Mikal not the defender he once was. Last year he was last in On-Ball Screen Navigation. Here are his matchup results this season according to most points scored on him: 🍎 Josh Giddey — 21 PTS | 9:18 | 9-12 FG (75.0%) | 3-4 3PT (75.0%) | 0 To 🍎 Norman Powell — 18 PTS | 13:04 | 7-16 FG (43.8%) | 2-5 3PM | 0 To 🍎 Donovan Mitchell — 13 PTS | 5:25 | 5-9 FG (55.6%) | 0-2 3PM | 1 To 🍎 Matas Buzelis — 6 PTS | 6:24 | 2-4 FG (50.0%) | 2-2 3PT | 1 To 🍎 Anthony Edwards — 6 PTS | 4:39 | 2-4 FG (50.0%) | 2-3 3PT | 1 To 🍎 AJ Green — 6 PTS | 4:14 | 2-3 FG (66.7%) | 2-3 3PT | 1 To 📊 Defensive Profile: 🔵 D-FG%: 47.3% (bad for a perimeter defender — wings are expected to hold opponents closer to ~43–45%, anything near 47% means scorers are getting clean looks vs him) 🔵 Defensive Rating: 114.0 🔵 Usage Rate: 16% — 5 FRPs for a low-usage player is organizational malpractice (same usage tier as KCP 16.0%, Wendell Carter Jr 16.0%, rookie Egor Demin 16.4%, Hartenstein 16.5%, even Miles McBride has higher usage at 16.7%) 🧠 Shot Creation Issues: 🔵 3PM Assisted: 96.7% 🗑️ Unassisted 3s: 3.3% 🔵 FGM Assisted: 72.9% 🗑️ Unassisted FGM: 27.1% 🧠 3P% When He Dribbles: 📉 1 Dribble 33.3% 📉 2 Dribbles 0% 📉 3–6 Dribbles 33.3% 📉 7+ Dribbles 0% 📉 Pull-Up 3P% 28.6% 🪫 PPG: 16.2 (not worth 5 1st round picks) for context: 🍁 RJ Barrett 19.1 PPG 🔥 Jaime Jaquez JR. 17.1 PPG 🛎️ Quentin Grimes 16.8 PPG 🍀 Payton Pritchard 16.4 PPG ⚡️ Ajay Mitchell 16.3 PPG 📊 What I Do Like About Mikal: 🥷 2.0 STL 🧱 0.9 BLK 🥇 AST% 19.5% (career high) 🥇 AST/TO 5.36 (career high) 📈 FG% 48.6% 🎯 3P% 41.7% 📈 3P% on 0 Dribbles: 45.5% This isn’t enough production. He gives us almost no shot creation, and while he’s elite on corner 3s, we didn’t trade 5 firsts and a 2028 swap for a spot-up role player. The bare minimum expectation for Mikal Bridges should be All-Star production — not role-player numbers. #NewYorkForever #SNYK #NYKx #NYK #Knicks #NYC #MikalBridges

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY
