Hello

Strengthiness is a few things. It's an LLC I spun up to put an app on the App Store. (I'll link to it when the rewrite is complete.) It's the name of my personal training for if and when I get around to helping people use kettlebells correctly (according to the hardstyle school of kettlebell training).

More importantly, it's an ethos of feeling strong, even if, by objective standards, you may not be strong.

Do you need to be strong enough to win a powerlifting competition? Probably not. Will you ever play 90 minutes of professional soccer? If you're reading this, I doubt it.

I won't either. That said…

Do you want to be able to easily put your luggage in the overhead bin? Or carry your kid (or grandkid) when they get too tired? Maybe you need to take a pickaxe to snowcrete to break your car out of ice after a blizzard. (Guess how I came up with this one.)

Strengthiness is the feeling, the knowing, that when life throws unexpected things at you, you are up for the task.

You don't need to be Superman. When something happens, and it's difficult, but you and your body are prepared; when it's over and you feel like Superman—because you did it—that's what Strengthiness is.

Anyway, this is my website, and my blog, under my LLC, so all the opinions are mine. I believe in strong opinions loosely held. I expect to change my mind, so opinions espoused in the past may not be opinions held in the present.

There is no set cadence for publishing. There will be a mix of tech, fitness, and random things, probably with tangential politics, because everything is political.

Whatever ends up here, I hope you enjoy it. At the very least, I hope it makes you think, and maybe change an opinion or two.
