πŸ‘‰Get Rust training from Let’s Get Rusty: https://letsgetrusty.com/start-with-tris I've spent my whole adult life chasing ergonomics tricks and hacks to solve my constant back problems and, most recently, terrible RSI. I was able to stave off problems for a long time with ergonomic keyboards and such, but it would always catch up with me eventually. Ten years ago I was testing out a posture brace for my back to alleviate some problems that I was having whilst sitting at my desk. A colleague who was a competitive weightlifter remarked that what I was doing was a waste of time, and that I needed to start lifting heavy weights instead. If only I had listened then I could have saved myself a great deal of suffering and money! I started exploring powerlifting 5 years ago, but fell back to bad habits because I didn't take it seriously. This year I started lifting regularly, and at the end of the summer rediscovered powerlifting. - Video article: https://www.namtao.com/hack-your-brain-with-powerlifting/ - A Physical Education https://www.caseyjohnston.website/my-work/a-physical-education - Starting Strength https://aasgaardco.com/store/books-posters-dvd/books/starting-strength-basic-barbell-training/ - Couch To Barbell https://www.couchtobarbell.com CORRECTIONS - todo!() ❀️ If you would like to support what I do, I have set up a Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/noboilerplate - Thank you! πŸ“„ All my videos are built in compile-checked markdown, transcript sourcecode available on my site. namtao.com, and on GitHub here https://github.com/NamtaoProductions/namtao-com This is also where you'll find links to everything mentioned. πŸ‘• Bad shirts available here https://noboilerplate.org/ πŸŽ™οΈ I produce these wonderful fiction podcasts: - πŸ›°οΈ If you like sci-fi, I also produce a hopepunk podcast narrated by a little AI, videos written in Rust! https://www.lostterminal.com - πŸŒ• If urban fantasy is more your thing, I also produce a podcast of wonderful modern folktales https://www.modemprometheus.com - 🎨 Season 3 of The Phosphene Catalogue is finishing up now, if you like mysteries and art, check it out! https://phosphenecatalogue.com/ πŸ™πŸ» CREDITS & PROMO - My name is Tris Oaten and I produce fast, technical videos. - Follow me here https://namtao.com/@noboilerplate - Website for the show: https://noboilerplate.org - Come chat to me on my discord server: https://discord.gg/mCY2bBmDKZ πŸ‘πŸ» Special thanks to my patreon sponsors: - Jaycee, - PotatoScream And to all my patrons!
