tness. So my mindset is that when I feel stressed, and by the way this is totally legitimate and this is a lifetime habit, so I'm not making this up because I just read this story. There's something I've done all my life. If I have a day of work and I'm really stressed out and I don't think it's going to go away right away, that's normal, right? Everybody has stressful days of work. I say to myself, man, am I going to have a good workout today? Because there's nothing that can power a good workout better than stress. And when you're done you know you're going to have less of it, less stress. And you know that you used your stress productively to lift more and push yourself and exhaust yourself and really get a good workout.

Now that's my mindset. And one of the things that people always ask me is why do you seem so not stressed. And part of it is that I make it a very much a part of my job, if you will, to avoid stress. And a big part of it is that mindset. It's like what's the first thing you think of when you're stressed? Oh my god, my blood pressure is going up. Or whoa, I'm going to really have a good lift today. And I'm not making that up. That's literally what I think when I feel stress. It's like oh, this is going to be a good run. So get your mindset right.

That's why you should be following people such as Mike Cernovich who talked about getting your mindset right. One of my favorite follows on Twitter is AJ Cortez. Does personal training. And what I like about him as someone to follow on Twitter is that first of all he takes the training to the mind-body mindset whole way. So it's more of a holistic approach where programming your body is a way to program your life. I don't think he says it in those words but it's effectively what it is. So he's more than a trainer about how to lift stuff. He does that too. But it's more about how all of this integrates into a better life.

So he got a tweet today that made me laugh. I retweeted it not because I agree with every word of it, because it's so provocative that I couldn't help it. Sometimes I just like to see people react to provocative ideas. So this was his tweet from AJ Alexander Cortes: A generation of defective men have been produced to believe that being, and he gives his list. These are the things that make them men according to AJ: agreeable, quiet, passive, desexualized, soft, gentle, and emotional. And he says that this is, this is AJ not me, don't blame me, and he says these are traits of women. And he says these men have been programmed into passive eunuch slaves to the mainstream narrative.

All right, so I retweeted it because it's so darn provocative, not because it's exactly matching my opinion of things. But let me give you my opinion. First of all let's all agree that individuals are so different that it would be ridiculous to have a list of characteristics and say that this applies to men or this applies to women. Can we all agree that individual differences are quite extreme? But that doesn't change
