health
- going to try a creatine + testosterone supplement for first time
- i swear by using the Manta Bluetooth sleep mask now. it gets me to put down my phone earlier and fall asleep faster. generally, i am asleep 15 min after putting it on listening to Endel or Audible. The Manta mask is expensive, so you could always start with a $25 bluetooth sleep mask
- i got a SECA scan at my weight loss dr office. since i started taking semaglutide a year ago, i am down about ~30lbs and body fat went from 33.9% to 28.6%. still work to go, but very happy with progress.
AI
- I’m using Perplexity instead of Google for most search queries now
- Amazon Alexa may be powered by Claude soon according to Reuters.
- I’m using the AI coding app Cursor multiple times per week for Python experiments
- found a cool list of AI-powered tools for creators/builders
- Claude released a cool prompt engineering course via Google Sheets
tech
- ios 18 will come out in 2-3 weeks and I am most excited for the scheduled iMessage feature.
- Apple might be working on a tabletop robot. a platform for developers to build robotic apps without worrying about the physical hardware would be so cool

custom personal trainer GPT for Vitruvian Trainer+

Sat, 16 Mar 2024 01:21:21 +0000

I was skeptical about magnetic weight resistance before trying a Tonal demo. After trying it in a mall, I was a believer in the technology.

After doing a bunch of research on magnetic resistance machines for home, it came down to Tonal and Vitruvian for me. I ended up going with Vitruvian for these reasons:

Vitruvian can support max lift of 440lbs vs Tonal’s max of ~200lbs
Tonal has to be professionally mounted to wall studs. Vitruvian sits on the floor and requires no install.
Vitruvian weighs 65lbs, and has two wheels to easily lift and roll it around
Tonal seems to have better software UX, but Vitruvian seems to have better hardware.
Vitruvian retains all of its 300+ exercise library even if you stop paying for the subscription

I have only had the Vitruvian for a week so it is too early to give a full review, but thus far I am incredibly impressed with it.
