So it’s Friday again, at least here. Just to keep myself up to snuff I’m trying to make myself update on every Friday even if there’s nothing I really feel like talking about.
What’s interesting this week:
Skyler Tanner wrote up a review of Maximum Muscle on his blog. It’s nice to see a positive review on it, since to be completely honest I was (and still am) worried that the subject matter would be off-putting to a lot of my target audience.
I’m standing by my decision to release it as a CC ebook, however. I do find it interesting at the amount of – not quite backlash, but “WTF” and crypto-anger that I’ve seen in response to that decision, as if I almost did something wrong by stepping outside the bounds like that. Whatever. I’ve made it clear from day one that I’m not in this to hustle for cash.
Alan Aragon wrote up a brilliant rebuttal to some recent T-Marketing (TM) shenanigans over on the Unapologetic Hustling site, which is a guest blog on Lyle’s Body Recomposition blog.
I’ve been putting up some spreadsheets on the forum. So far these are still in a preliminary testing phase, as I want to spend a little time with them before really endorsing them, but what I’m trying to do here is create some templates based on Prilepin’s Table as a framework, while incorporating some of the strategies that Mike Tuchscherer outlines in his Reactive Training System.
I’ve been doing some research into the Dunning-Kruger Effect for reasons that might be somewhat obvious. There’s a good and relatively recent review available for free on Pubmed. This is something deserving of a longer article in its own right, as it obviously ties in to much of my theme regarding critical thinking and the lack thereof. It’s kinda nice to see “stupid people are stupid” quantified in science-terms, in any event.
