I think a philosophical mindset helps us ask better questions, move through uncertainty with ease, and explore life's tensions by shifting perspectives. Philosophical exercise is an ongoing process. It’s an activity we engage in, not just an end goal. The challenge is finding balance between extremes and contradictions. Therein lies the quest. A laidback, not-too-serious, not-too-flippant exploration at the intersection of phi ...

Strength is a hot commodity in the sport of weightlifting. Every coach and athlete will claw and scratch for every kilo they can add to their squats, pulls, and presses.
