Yesterday was sub day 7: Aeon/Khan/Wanted 5 min each. Workout shoulder press 175x3, same 3 rep max as last time 10 days ago. Tried out behind the neck presses after, got to 135x4.

Sub day 8: Aeon ST4/EOG ST4/ Wanted/ DRG ST4 2 min each. Leg workout: Aductor work with bands, Cossack squats assisted, square stance squats for warmup, regular squats 275x5, reverse lunge 155x5.
Khan didn’t seem to add any extra allure or sexual performance to wanted last week, did have a great week in the markets, some of which can be attributed to monthly option roll overs.

Here is the first draft of an Aeon/Hero:Earth custom. It’s a spiritual/physical shifting custom. Not sure if it’s too dense. The HTLTB copy mentions specifically Aeon stacking well with Earth.
May send in to support for their opinion as well.

Yesterday sub day 8.5 ( supposed to be day off) TS/IC custom 30 seconds.
Today sub day 9: Aeon ST4/Hero Earth 3 min each. Purchased HTLTB this morning. Might as well run them together before building custom.
Workout: Bench press 255x5, up from 250x5 last week, also running on 4 hrs sleep. Earth already made a difference. The pump I had after was insane! Almost cartoonish. Makes me wonder whether I even need Anvil of Hephaestus in the custom. It was possibly a bloom from the aspect of Wanted that magnifies your look energetically.
Been recalling more information regarding the 4 elements that I previously studied. Will post more later.

Sub day 9.5: Hero: ST4 Fire 15 seconds. Listened to a guided Zen meditation after and it seemed slower, like it was a time dialation effect. It didn’t carry over to music after but it acted like a recon breaker.

Pushed a couple extra trades today to break through 1200 barrier, that way 1000 doesn’t seem so much. Kind of like bench pressing 225 for the first time it’s a psychological barrier. After you get to 250 you know you can get 225 on any given day.
Rolled a PLTR 170 call another 28 days for a NC of $628.60. I have an OKLO 70 call that I’ve been rolling a few months now but it shot up to 144 this week, closed today at 110. If it gets down to 80ish by Oct 10 exp then I can roll it again. It’s been good for 500+ per roll. The OKLO and PLTR are 14 days apart, as long as I can keep rolling those I have a shot at a $1000 week every second week.
I need to have 2 more large positions spaced out every week to have a shot at a grand per week. If OKLO gets called away I’ll consider adding to my LULU position so I have 100 shares then I can sell calls on that. Would like another 100 OKLO shares at next sell off opportunity.

Sub day 10: Aeon ST4/Hero Earth 1:30 each, TS/IC custom 30 seconds. Skipped workout today, need an extra day to recover. Probably shouldn’t go for rep PR’s on work days.

Years ago I attended a Zen retreat put on by Zen Master Nissim Amon. One lesson was on the 4 elements. Back then I was high fire, high air, low earth, moderate water. My fire has since tempered as a lot of it was fueled by anger which I’ve also tempered.
At this time I am most drawn to Earth, hence my current run of Hero:Earth.
Here are some snapshots of the lesson.

When I was 17 my older sister dated a Ninjitsu instructor who used 4 stances Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. I don’t remember Water but Fire was my favourite and Earth had insane power that was generated by shifting your weight while simultaneously hitting either up or down. Wind was side to side movements and Fire was back and forth.
He was a smaller guy, 5’8” and under 150. He was still to this day one of the toughest guys I ever met. Worked as a bouncer and had a lot of real world fighting experience. Would love to see him against the 2nd degree black belt Jujitsu instructor I had a couple years ago who was also rail thin but super fast.

Sub day 11: Aeon ST4/Hero Earth/TS/IC custom 3 min each. Golfed that day at the easy course. Shot 80, best of the year was 77 at same course. Was very pleased with how I drove the ball. For the most part was accurate with a couple bombs well over 300, the dry ground played into it for sure.
Sub day 12 today: Aeon ST4/Hero Earth/Wanted 5 min each. TS/IC custom 1 min. Squat workout 350x5, up 5lbs from last week also tying my 5 rep max for the year. Will wait 2 weeks before trying to beat it.
In my custom draft I have swapped out Beserker for Kings Radiance.

Sub day 13: Aeon ST4/Hero:Earth/Wanted 5 min each.
Workout: Bench press 260x4, last week was 255x5.
Considering going through the Jonnie Candito 6 week 2.0 program. Might take upwards of 8 weeks to get through it as it’s a lot of volume.

Week 1 Day 1 of Candito 6 week program. Calculated 1rep maxes. Squat 408, DL 350, Bench 298.
LB squat 4 sets of 325x6
Sumo DL 2 sets of 280x6
Plugged in a lower DL max for this phase as it’s already more taxing than I’m used to and I don’t do DL very often.I stick to sumo cause conventional can easily tweak my back if I’m not careful with form. This program is 5 lifting days/week. If I do 3/week it will take 10 weeks to get through it.

Sub day 15: Aeon ST4/EOG ST4 2 min each. Hero:Earth 3 min, Hero:Water 1 min.
Workout week 1 day 4 (workout 3)
Same as previous day, subbed regular bench for board press (2 2x4’s) to ease shoulder strain. The reps felt only slightly easier due to less range of motion, closer grip and pause made it harder. Board press is a great substitute for full ROM bench press.
Went heavier on the barbell rows with less than stellar form.
Finally read the copy of Hero Water yesterday, was very impressed. Seems like a smoother ride then conventional healing titles.

Sub day 15.5: Hero Earth 1 min
Workout 4, week 1:
Squat 4 sets of 285x8
Sumo DL 2 sets of 245x8
The squats were surprisingly easy. Low back is feeling it today. Good thing I put in a lower deadlift max. Week 2 of this workout is brutal. Includes a 10 rep max that equals my lifetime 10 rep max then later in the week add 10 pounds for 8-10 which will be a rep PR. It only counts as a rep PR if I can complete all reps with 1 breath per rep, my personal rule.

Sub day 16: Aeon ST4/Hero:Earth/TS-IC custom/Wanted 1 min each.
Decided to skip workout 5 of week 1. It’s another upper body day, had just done heavy bench before starting this program and completed 3 bench workouts in 5 days. Also feeling some CNS fatigue.
Week 2 is scheduled for Saturday, may wait till Sunday, see how sleep goes the next couple days.
Did QiGong and contrast shower this morning instead of workout.
Will commence 3 day washout…unless my new Aeon-Earth custom shows up.

Washout day 1.
Been thinking of the progression of Jujitsu belts white, blue, purple, brown, and black belt. Black belt signifies Mastery of craft. Could these levels of Mastery be applied to investing.
White=4 figures
Blue=5 figures
Purple=6 figures
Brown=7 figures
Black=8 figures or $10,000,000-99,000,000
According to this arbitrary ranking I’m currently a purple belt having started out with $5,000 (4 figures)
At 7 figures is where I’d feel I made it and can comfortably retire. 8 figures I could purchase fancy cars. 9 figures is where one can start to have serious Influence.
On the other hand a Savvy investor (Black Belt Master Investor) could easily sustain themselves with 6 figures. 400K at 30% annually could live a pretty good life at 10K per month.

Market sold off today on Trump/China conflict. I expect next week to bounce back as we are still bullish overall. Will be monitoring closely. May take profits on WFRD early next week for 20-25% gain. Original price target was 75, it’s hit 70 recently. If oil keeps dropping it won’t get there anytime soon.
Scrapped my plans for next toastmasters speech, will Center it around the previous post regarding belt levels of mastery related to investing instead. Have another couple weeks to fine tune it.
Edit: Didn’t scrap the previous speech. Will end up making 2 speeches. I think the belt levels mastery related to investment is more foundational for the other one I have in mind.
