COT:
I gave some perspective on protein that I gleaned from an Art of Manliness podcast: podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9henkzM0c4Xw/episode/NWU2NmE3YTktNjAwZi00YWNiLTliMDEtZDlkNmUwMmUzNWRm?ep=14

Basics are you need 0.5 to 0.8 g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Protein synthesis gets kicked off by 3 g of the amino acid leucine, so eat a good protein meal twice a day. Almost impossible to get the 9 essential amino acids on a vegan diet without a dietician.

Goblet Squat

Run break for some Cardio between Row and Deadlift

COT: Discussion of Courtesy. I was a Boy Scout ages ago and I always wondered why the Scout Law listed that a Scout was both Courteous and Kind. Aren’t those the same thing. Now that I’m older, I see that Courtesy is how you treat someone and Kindness is why you treat someone that way. You can be courteous without being kind (see the Southernism ‘Bless your heart’) and kind without being courteous (Papalock used the example of the old man in the movie Gran Tarino). Courtesy helps people interact without misunderstandings. I used the example of the internet as an area where Courtesy can be lacking and it be source of contention and strife. Ocho pointed out that both Courtesy and kindness can be viewed as proceeding from viewing everyone as made in God’s image and worthy of that respect.

COT:
Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged…”
(Matthew 7:1-2, NIV)

Speak No Evil. Someone said: “There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn’t behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us.” Each of us is a mixture of good and evil. We each have a dark side and we each have a bright side. Certain situations can bring out the good or the bad in each of us. I have often said, “Where did that come from?” I don’t usually say that when I have done something heroically beautiful. Because of this mixture of the good and bad within us, we should be very careful about judging others. Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, had a sign on the wall of his dining room which read, “He who has an unkind word to say about another is not welcome at this table.” We all need a sign like that posted somewhere in our home or office.

  • Wrong scoreboards!
  • The Concentrica should be our scoreboard as seen from a Biblical worldview.
