those look like freckles to me, on his hand.
Seems he had other things to do than lift weights. IMO, that doesn't make him any less masculine.He looks pretty decent for his age. The voice kinda turns me off, plus he never seemed like he lifted wieghts or was very masculone
This makes sense to me.So what I take from him is the thought process, the curiosity, the body awareness etc. (And PUFA avoidance, lol)
+1Becoming monomaniacally focused on a few coveted traits is only gonna lead someone astray imo.
+1There may not be a maximum limit, but there are often challenges that are poised by environment and culture. .... Even with great care. Some stranger can decide to save some money and put lead in a cities water supply.
Jet Li 2018 (55). He claims a diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism.
This is interesting. Someone could try and get better hand photos from himView attachment 9245
About the age pigments, I think there are a lot of age pigments here on his hand.
What you describe is true masculinity and our society is bereft of it.That guy that Law is showing looks a bit “doddering”. I’ve absolutely never seen Peat look like that. I even think that Peat has a quiet exactitude about him, a confidence that’s well earned. Peat is exciting in a way that most other men don’t have, probably because their too wrapped up in their worries, time and place.
I don’t think that is a shaved head...it seems to be a very receeded hairline.
I'm not anti Peat. I have great success with using his advices. The only thing that bothers me sometimes is that Peat himself seems to not be in as good a health as his theory predicts.
He says that copper can help against grey hair, but his hair is grey.
He says that teeth can remineralise and that antibiotics helps but many of his teeth are black.
He has many age pigments on his hand, yet he writes that this can be completely prevented by diet, and that he has seen people reverse age pigments using progesterone.
It seems like that he would know how to optimise his testosterone levels, but he seems like quite low in testosterone in the way he talks and looking at his facial hairs.
What do you guys think of that?
Can someone rationalise with me why its constructive to compare Ray Peat with Rich Piana? or comparing anyone else with anyone.
If you think he looks unhealthy and it makes you doubt is message and life work. be sceptical and critical its better than putting people on pedestals and not learning anything but how to copy other peoples diets and lifestyles. We are becoming used to being seduced by charlatans and it takes time to realise not everyone is a charlatan selling some snake oil.
Id rather listen some honest person who admits mistakes and learns from them then shares the wisdom once mastered, instead of being in denial and victim to vanity by covering them up with hair transplants, hair dye, fake teeth, damaging teeth whitening, cosmetic surgery, make up, photoshop, elaborate lighting setups etc.
LOL **** Piano vs Ray Peat that is an extremely apt comparison IMO!
In fact now that I think about they are complete inverses of each other. Like the same men from opposite-mirror-worlds.
