I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living/ All Over Again The best guitar solo I have ever heard.

Sorry, but this needs to be said!!

Podcast- Total Upper Body Maintenance!

 


OK- my last podcast was about walking backward, and so bulletproofing and building your lower body.  Remember, this is achieved by:

Walking backward, usually against the resistance of an elastic band ideally,

And then doing various ‘Knees over toes guys’ exercises, including deadlifts and stiff-legged deadlifts on a platform, aka Jefferson Curls.  Doing pistol squats while balancing on gymnastic rings is great, and deep lunges with total control to strengthen the entire leg.  Once again, the videos at ‘kneesovertoesguy.com  can illustrate all of this superbly.

 

But now, I have promised you all the bulletproof ways to build and maintain your upper body as well…  so here we go!

First- walk backward against the resistance of a heavy elastic band, slowly and deliberately, back and forth, to completely work every muscle within your lower body!  Really, this is important enough to do each time you workout, which would include two days of the lower body, and two days of the upper body per week.  Four days per week- Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for instance.  Ideally take a day off between each day, for a rest day between each workout day.  


Here is your upper body day:  I press a bar into a power rack at arms length, and then slowly lower myself from my legs, doing a military press, up and down, resisting with my arms as my legs lift me slowly up and down.  But the resistance is all in my arms and shoulders.  Continue for one minute- you will be wiped out!

Alternate this with pull-ups on the gymnastic rings which you have suspended above you in the rafters of your basement or garage.  If 8 or more pushups for multiple sets is too hard, leave your feet on the ground, and just lean way back, to the point you can do at least eight reps.  

Then, do pull-ups with your feet on the ground, resisting just enough to allow you to do a full minute of slow pull-ups , and then follow with feet on the ground pull-ups at an angle on the rings.  

Then go to your dip station, and instead of doing regular dips, which are quite hard long term on your shoulders- stand on a box within the dip bars, and lower yourself slowly up and down, using your feet to allow you to push as hard as you can as you slowly move up and down in the dip motion.  Keep it up for at least a minute.  This is called ‘aerobic isometrics’, and it is really effective!  Follow once again with feet on the ground pull-ups on the rings for an 8-10 count.


Finally, lower your gymnastic rings to a low level, and start doing pushups.  Walk forward holding the rings, until you can do a pretty easy pushup, almost standing nearly straight.  Do 20 or more reps, and then do 20 or more flies in the same position.  Next, hold your hands out straight before you, suspending your torso at a straight angle, and move your arms in a circular motion while suspending your body at that angle.  Go to near exhaustion.

Then, walk backward, and repeat, at a near horizontal angle, pushups and all.  And finish even further back, where your body is held horizontally, or even with heels raised on a box, doing the same motions.  


This will exhaust your upper body, very safely and productively, without any injury-provoking movements like the bench press, barbell rows or such standard movements.  These will all ultimately injure you, by forcing your body into unnatural planes of motion.  The gymnastic rings, alternatively, will build the strength of both your tendons, ligaments, and muscles, which will serve to protect the very joints that barbell movements will compromise and grind on.  


It’s all about the longevity of fitness and strength, not ‘proving yourself’ for a few years, and then collapsing into an injured mass with old stories of glory to tell.  Health and fitness is meant to be lifelong, and it should be!  That is the ultimate goal.

Get Ahead by Walking Backward podcast




 I hope you are aware of the benefits of backward walking!  I first heard about this from Ben Patrick, the ‘knees over toes guy’, and he is really onto something big here.


I am now 70 years of age, and I’ll tell you, this is around the age when many of my contemporaries are getting knee (and hip) replacement surgeries.  Trust me: this is something you would much prefer to avoid if possible; and I’m here to tell you that these knee surgeries are completely preventable!  In fact, most joint replacement surgery is preventable, simply through properly targeted exercises.  Despite what your MD might tell you!


The top exercise you can do to preserve and enhance the strength and well-being of your entire leg and its accompanying joints is walking backward.  Simply by doing this, you are building the strength and conditioning of the parts of your legs that support and protect the joints.


When you walk or run forwards, you are building one set of muscles- those that propel you to the front.  These allow you to jump, sprint, and leap.  This is fine, it is why we also squat, and deadlift to build these muscles.  


But remember: there are muscles that work the opposite direction, and these muscles are usually ignored.  And these muscles (and tendons) allow us to decelerate.  Safely and under control.  Walking backwards is the number one way to work these vital muscles and tendons.


The main way to do this is by pulling a weighted sled backward.  Or by simply walking backwards…  There are other great exercises, like doing reverse squats by attaching weights to your foot, and lifting upwards for reps, and other exercises best learned by watching Ben Patrick’s wonderful videos on YouTube.

Kneesovertoesguy.com


But, I still think the one exercise that everyone should be doing, and this includes your aged parents and siblings, is backward walking.  And I believe now that walking backward pulling an elastic band about your hips is not only the most effective way, but by far the most convenient method.


By pulling against the anchored elastic band as you walk backward, you overload the movement (as with a weighted sled), but you can do it indoors, deliberately and safely, rapidly building up the musculature that controls deceleration and protects your joints.  I do have a sled I rigged up, and use it in my woods on occasion in good weather.  But, living in Wisconsin, good weather is often illusive, so I start every workout in my basement dungeon, pulling backward against the band I have looped about my power rack!


I usually go for time- 8 minutes seems to be the perfect amount, and is also the perfect warmup.  Use a heavy band (legs are strong, even the deconditioned backward part), and watch your knees strengthen as pains and stiffness disappear.


This really is almost magical in its effectiveness!


That takes care of your entire lower body- you will have not only explosive power built into your legs, but they will be protected from the ravages of degeneration that are ravishing our older people today.  Simply by walking backward.


Next time, I will address the many problems that occur in the upper body, which are also completely preventable with simple exercises!  Simple, natural exercises are a panacea, and weirdly enough, almost no one knows about them.


Why?  Sadly, because I believe that such natural methods cannot be sold (like drugs and surgeries), and so make no money for the providers.  I will go into this more next time, on PaleoJay’s Smoothie Cafe.

I have a Beef with Chicken and Pork! Podcast

 


Conventional wisdom these days is to eat more vegetables and grains, and above all cut fat, saturated fat being regarded as particularly evil.  Butter and any form of animal fat is the devil incarnate- eat vegetable oils instead!


The real truth is petty much the opposite.  


The foundation of your diet should be animal products.  And of those, ironically: butter, eggs, beef tallow, and beef are the very best!  And again, contrary to modern fake ‘wisdom’: chicken and pork are the worst meat products.  They are low in fat generally, true; but the fat in chickens and pigs is generally from what they have eaten, which is usually corn.  This corn breaks down into linoleic acid, which is basically a vegetable oil that you get from these meats.  Grass-fed pork and pastured chickens are fine but much rarer and far more expensive than beef.  And beef, in addition, is far more nutrient dense!


So, conventional wisdom is very wrong in general.  Think of the old food pyramid in the U.S., which had grains as the base of the pyramid, the bulk of the ideal diet, and then vegetables and things like potatoes and seeds, and then fruits, and then low fat dairy and vegetable oils, and at the top, in the smallest amounts, you would finally find butter, high-fat dairy, and meat, beef being the highest in fat and so the worst…


In your diet of today, it should be mostly animal products, primarily beef and beef organs and bone broth, wild-caught seafood is also good, along with eggs, butter or ghee, kefir and yogurt, cheeses (raw is best), cream, and raw milk.  After that, you can have fruits (citrus and berries are the best), and vegetables in moderation.  Don’t lose sight of the fact that many vegetables are loaded with oxalates and other anti-nutrients that are the plant’s defense chemicals, and are meant to hurt those who consume them.


At the top of the pyramid of today, you will find things like grains and sugar.  These are the ‘candy options’ that should be kept at a bare minimum!  If you do include some bread, real sourdough is your best option (much of the gluten and other anti-nutrients are broken down by the sourdough yeast).   


And so, there you have it: my Beef with pork and chicken!  I don’t mean to never include these meats, but they are a ‘second-best’ option to that of ruminants, which are what we mainly evolved eating.  So go ahead: don’t be ‘chicken’ to eat beef!

Johnny Burnette Trio-Train Kept A Rollin'

How to Retire Properly podcast

I can just hear so many people on this: “HOW to retire??  What a joke- I already know how to do NOTHING!  I’ll sleep late, watch TV, and lay around eating whatever I want!  Perfect retirement.”


Sounds good, but I’m afraid- quite naive and self destructive.  Do you really want your retirement to be the same as the life of a welfare person?  Someone who has never done a thing productive, and lives an unhealthy life of laziness and squalor?  For be assured, a life of ‘doing whatever I want’ and self indulgence is exactly that, and leads to a hell on this earth!  


For to be plain: a life lived in unthoughtful ease and comfort, (with no discipline involved), will result in hell.  Not only for you, yourself, but for all who surround you: in your family, and in your community.  We are all created to be responsible, to serve a purpose, a role in society.  Focus only on yourself, and you will surely devolve into a total piece of shit, and it will be quick and final.  Your own self hatred will be the worst punishment of all, and one you should avoid at all costs!


So- How to Retire?  


These are the iron-clad rules of retirement:



If you are in a city, especially a big one- get out!  Take your equity, and use it to buy a rural, or small town property.  In a Red state is best, but in most states rural areas are all Red.  Just go where all your neighbors are self-sufficient, and don’t rely on Big Government for their livelihood.  This is KEY.


If you are in a suburb of a big city, this is a bit trickier- you may be OK, but you will be in a very pricey area, and your property taxes will be VERY high.  This is because people live in this suburb because they need access to the nearby city, and are willing to pay for being close to, but not within that city, for the safety of their families, and especially the safety of their children in the local schools!  

Big city schools are, by definition, horrible nightmares where no learning takes place at all, and what does is simply indoctrination and lies.  Everyone knows this, but it cannot be mentioned.  I am mentioning it, and telling you to stay away- unless you are willing to sacrifice and destroy your own children.  ESPECIALLY if they are white, or Asian.


So, let’s say you are in a rural, small town area, perhaps around a small city that has kept its values largely intact from 60 years ago.  Good job!  You probably have good libraries, pretty good schools (almost all public schools nowadays are very ‘woke’, and so suspect on multiple levels), but if your kids are grown, you should be OK there.  After all, you are retired!  


Right off the bat, your taxes will be far lower.  And hopefully you have an acreage that you can work, with a nice garden to tend, a big lawn to mow with your tractor, and ideally a woodlot, with trails to walk through on a daily basis- your own private park!  


If you are still in a city or big city suburb when you retire, this is probably the time to relocate.  Country living is preferable in every single way to city living, especially as you age…


OK- you live on a rural acreage, outside of a small city.  Everyone you used to know thinks you are crazy, depriving yourself of all the cultural enrichment and diversity of living amongst people totally unlike yourself, and things like opera and  symphonies that you can’t live without- (although you never went before, and never will now.  And the fact that they are all available online at any time!).


Your small town police department, or sheriff, will be quite dependable, unlike big city, worthless, woke agencies that see you, the white-privileged victim, as the enemy.  In rural America, criminals are actually caught, and punished.  (What a concept !)  In other words: justice works.



So, now you, your property and family are safe!  Your years of hard work have paid off.  Now, let’s look to your own well-being and lifestyle.  This is the culmination of your whole life, so let’s make it work- no rusting out and dying early for you!


Hopefully, you have listened to this, and other podcasts and read about paleo living for some time.  So, hopefully, you have a healthy life all mapped out, and now you have the freedom to just get healthier.


But, if not: here are you rules of life from now on!!


Eat nutrient rich foods almost exclusively.  This means mainly animal foods like meat and seafood, eggs and dairy.  Fermented dairy like yogurt, cheese, and kefir are usually better for people, even if somewhat intolerant in terms of dairy digestion.


Pretty much eliminate grains!  They irritate the gut lining, making you prone to autoimmune diseases of all types.  Also, commercial breads and other baked products are loaded with glyphosate, a carcinogen, since they are sprayed at harvest to ‘dry’ the grains.  

Some real sourdough breads are the exception, since the grains are fermented, vastly reducing the gluten and rendering the breads far more digestible, especially if you are using ancient grain varieties.

But remember: grains in whatever form are poor foods- far less nutritious than foods from animal sources!


Bone broth is a near perfect food!  As is a green smoothie, when mixed up in a Vitamix along with fruits, veggies, raw eggs, kefir, tart cherry juice, and coconut milk.  Keep the veggies in small amounts, though, since oxalates (an anti-nutrient in most green veggies) are quite toxic in quantity.  Again- animal protein is your friend in every circumstance!


Work out Every Day!


This is crucial.  First thing every morning (remember- you are retired- you have no excuse now), brew your coffee.  Take a mug with you into your living room/gym, and start by methodically stretching your body, standing up, while you watch TV!  Yes, that’s right- I am ordering you to watch television- but only while you are working out!  By restricting your TV viewing (Netflix, Amazon Prime, whatever) to only during exercise, you are using what is often in retirement a very negative addiction (TV watching) to restrict it to a positive addiction (exercise).  This is a Win Win!  You reward yourself for working out.  This is the only time you should allow yourself to watch television.


After you have stretched your body standing, start into a routine.  I am heavy into what I call ‘Virtual Resistance’, where you flex your body against itself from every angle.  Like a slowly moving bodybuilder posing for 8-15 reps.  It stresses the muscles like weights, but without stress or strain, also a great warmup.  Cover the whole body, limb by limb.


You can come up with your own routine, however- do what works for you!  Research it.  The kneesovertoesguy.com has wonderful exercises to build your body from the ground up for both health of joints, and longevity.  He is a goldmine of exercise ideas!


Simply doing something like pushups, followed by situps, and static stretching are great.  Do multiple sets, and then follow up with free squats, and using resistance bands for bent rows, military presses, flies, and and deltoid raises are all good.  


Finish with isometrics.  Just get a nylon band, and do static squats, holding the strap as you push against it while breathing freely down low.  Hold for about 5 seconds or so, then hold again half way up, and then 3/4 up.  Hold at each position.  

Then do military presses the same way, and deltoid raises, and flies, bent rows, and pushup holds, all in three positions.  You will be tired.


All of this is subject to change, and your body and preferences.  You will learn as you go, and certain exercises will become musts for you, on a daily basis- you won’t feel good if you don’t include them.

Rebounders are great, and really lend themselves to working out in front of the TV.  Work out your own variations!


The one additional thing that I do, and wish you would consider, is to add in two to three pure strength training sessions in the afternoon.  Using gymnastic rings, you completely work out your upper body perfectly, in a far more productive manner than with barbells and dumbbells.  20 to 30 minutes doing strength work in your basement or wherever you hang your rings is ideal.

For lower body, which you alternate with upper, check in with Ben Patrick of www.kneesovertoesguy.com    His lower body exercises will completely revolutionize your lower body training, making it both functional, and bulletproof in terms of injury!  Check him out.


So, there you have it.  Couple this with country living, walking barefoot in your woods and yard, and cooking and grilling most of your own food, and you will have a long and happy retirement, without disease of the mind or body.


Cultivate an interest in books, podcasts, and music or art, and you will be one of the happiest, healthiest people that ever lived!

A True Paleo Life is Beautiful, and Religious




 Modern life is seen to be practical and a cut-to-the-essentials type of living. Science will lead us now- no more superstition! And let’s be practical, above all!  No more Victorian frills and nonsense- from now on, we will ‘cut to the chase’ and ‘concentrate on the essentials above all’!


Such a viewpoint is very shortsighted, and misses the forest for the trees.  Literally.  Case in point- Forest bathing, the practice of immersing oneself in nature for as much time as you can muster has been proven to be immensely beneficial.  Just by going into a forest, and wandering about (preferably barefoot), rejuvenative effects are huge.  This is a national movement in Japan, and has spread worldwide.  I suspect, given the industrial, crowded nature of modern Japan, that that is why they discovered how cut off they were from the essentials of nature, and why they felt the urgent need to recapture the benefits of nature itself.


In the US, and in Europe, nature used to be known as rejuvenative, and necessary for mental, physical, and spiritual health.  I think in places like Switzerland, this is still known and appreciated.  But in vast swathes of metropolitan areas, such ideas seem silly and out of date.  Why waste time and energy saving inefficient green spaces when it is such a waste of resources, and could be better used as factory or office or parking lot space?


Such ideas are stupid, and have led us into a nightmare landscape of high rises and concrete, ghettos and graffiti.  In other words, and hell-scape of man’s own making.  Not that of God!


Nature is God’s work.  Beauty and symmetry.  The mercilessness of evolution, but also the exactness of its outcome.  What works evolves and improves, endlessly- what does not, becomes extinct.  The beautiful ultimately eclipses the ugly, and inefficient.  This is Nature at work!


And Nature is part of God.  There has never been a culture, much less a civilization, that has not recognized the overarching importance of religion.  Primitive tribes and cultures have debased, horrible ‘religions’ of pain and sacrifice, this is true.  The Aztecs of South America spring to mind: they thought the pain of children and their tears, coupled with the tearing of the hearts out of the living breasts of their enemies, was the desire of their gods.  They took the debased ideas of their twisted civilization to be the will of God and Nature, when it was really the expression of their own awful desires- they had divorced themselves from Nature and God, and descended into savagery.  They had forgotten the true ideals of Nature itself, and attempted to replace it with their own ideas of efficiency, and what they thought ‘really mattered in life’.  

To them, it was all about control- Controlling Nature, by influencing the gods. (By sacrifice)!


To them, religion had devolved into what it has become for modern atheists- a type of State control, in modern times it would be seen as a form of Marxism.  Top down, authoritarian control.  Efficient and modern, to each as he needs, and from each as to his abilities.  


Which actually means: to those in charge, everything, and to everyone else, whatever they choose to dole out.  Those who produce deserve: nothing extra.


The bottom line here is that Nature is beauty incarnate.  It is our evolutionary birthright- anything that seeks to take it away from us is pure evil.  


As is religion.  It is an innate part of our being!  It is embodied by Nature itself, which has formed our evolution.  We are Nature, and Nature is us, and leads us to our religion, which is part of our very selves.  We cannot escape it, and we should not want to!  

 

Marxism is anti Nature, Evolution, and Religion!  It is NOT Paleo, nor Ancestral, nor evolutionary.  


Once again, there are examples of early Evil, like Marxism.  Top down absolutists with an utterly evil agenda: like the Aztec death worship cult!  And like the French Revolutionaries, who in their anger went too far, and became evil themselves in their response to oppression in the form of their monarchy.


Established Christian religions are bastions of safe havens!  Their classic statements are all about timeless principles, and the evolutionary ideals of conservation, and stewardship of the land.  NATURE.


If you know better about such things, then feel free to disregard religion, Nature, and God.  And feel free to make fun of Beauty, since it is irrelevant, and a landscape of concrete and barbed wire should be fine.  And graffiti, and primitive African ‘art’.  


Ignore the masterpieces of Western Civilization, since they are social constructs, and totally ‘relative’ in terms or excellence…


Just live in concrete jungles, and ignore everything I said.  And what did I say, again?


"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty' – that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know".


John Keats
