Yea Wiz been on it for a while now, dude is either Hit or mis for me, kinda slipped after his first 3-4 mixtapes, expected him to grow but he's turned into one of them weedrappers w. money on they mind.

Not a fan by any means, but basically I advise you to check out the prince of the city mixtapes, more rough around the edges, less poppy and less extreme materialism. Don't listen too hard, shit is really too simple for that, just put it on when training or smth

Other Khalifa tracks I'm down with;

I actually really like his Zen-like approach to life
I'm not all for art being purely intellectual, 99% of all artists make their art because they want a nod or some kind of approval, so there actually is a certain goal to it most artists will not admit, in the end a piece of art, even though created out of the mind w. instruments, is more then just an expression most of the time.
I feel sports and art are very closely related anyway.

IMO
He needs to quit overthinking life, it ain't that complicated.
The point of life is to live, the more you live, the happier you are and the better you feel your life has become.
What living 'more' is, is up to the individual, I feel squatting and dunking on a dude gets me a huge rush, I also love the process, it's a challenge and I need to put forth my all and I truely enjoy a challenge in life, it makes me enjoy the moment and thus enjoy life.

I feel I don't live my life just to please others through the uselessness of the things I do in terms of survival ( might be the case tho).
Since it's my life, as a person and athlete I try to live life from my own perspective and do good from my point of view, that's all I need to know.
Not sure why or what he seeks to find with complex reasoning like this, even though it's quite interesting, I'm not sure where it'll take you.
If it takes you to a state of inactivity while he clearly is a talented athlete and must have enjoyed lifting those weights, then I think he's not going into the right direction.

Dude would make an awesome buddhist tho, except for his view on the getting pussy part he keeps referring to.

LanceSTS's Performance Blog / Re: Wasted Sets, Wasted Reps, Wasted Time

Absolutely love this post.

Since we're talking mindset, I'd like to expand this blog entry a bit and like to know your opinion on the following;
Say you have a non-powerlifting athlete, someone that's specifically training for something other then lifting heavier weights.
This could be a body builder, a basketball/football player, a track athlete w.e.

How do you go about connecting the work you do in the gym to the field outside of it?
Do you think that lifting weights as explosively and fast as possible is the only thing you need to be doing?
Visualisation is even a scientifically proven mean to improve performance. I'm sure it has an effect us athletes/trainers should look into and I'd like to hear your take.

Another thing is the confidence these athletes either get or don't really get out of their workouts.
Just take a look at Defranco athletes, often they don't have perfect workout schedules, but 'cause they're at Defranco's (a big-name trainer/gym), and they get in this competitive environment doing things noone else is doing, they really feel they have an edge out there on the court.
I really do think this is an underrated aspect of training for athletes and a reason sets untill absolute failure, at times should be considered the better option.

I don't think we're talking huge differences performance wise, but these two aspects could have a significant impact science has not really touched yet.

It seems to hold true in the gym as well as in any other part of the human life;
The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
