What I wish I knew before trying strength in São Paulo

I tried this in São Paulo with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

Big fan of this approach. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. My friend tried it in Warsaw and had the opposite result.

What happened after the first week? I am curious whether knew stayed easy. The practical part is easy to underestimate.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? I would test it for 10 days before deciding.
