It's Best To Play the Hand We're Dealt

Over the last few months, I've started taking my fitness and my health more seriously.

In my first fourth months of strength training, I packed on 30 pounds and added close to 100 pounds on my squat and deadlift. I started out at a tiny frame for my height, so my progress has been no surprise.

While I've been growing at this rate, I've needed to prioritize my recovery. That meant eating tons of food, getting plenty of sleep, and only training three days a week.

It isn't rocket science.

In fact, it's the very physiology of training: stress, recovery, and adaption.

Without sufficient recovery, there is no growth.

Whether or not you're on a fitness journey, I think we can all relate to the pleasure of a weekend recovery. These two precious days allow us to review the events of the prior week while planning ahead for the days to come.

Our Monday crypto letter is a manifestation of this recovery process. It's our weekly "state of the market" that documents how we're approaching crypto as a collective.

I certainly get a ton of value from putting my thoughts down on paper.

Not only does it allow me to coherently structure the ideas in my chaotic mind, but it's also a running log of how we've approached different market environments in the past.
