From the Brickyard | Subject: Building in the quiet
——
We live in a world of constant noise.
Traffic. Notifications. TVs blaring. People talking just to talk.
But what if I told you there’s a place so quiet you can hear yourself blink?
That place exists—right here on Earth.
At Orfield Labs in Minnesota, there’s an anechoic chamber—a room so soundproof it holds the Guinness World Record for silence. Inside, sound is measured at –24.9 dBA.
That’s quieter than outer space.
It’s so silent you can hear your heartbeat. Your lungs filling with air. Your joints shifting as you move. Most people don’t last longer than an hour before the silence drives them insane.
The Forge of Silence
For the average person, silence is torture.
For the Musclebuilder, silence can be a weapon.
Imagine stepping into that chamber, shutting the world out, and locking in.
No noise. No distractions. Just you, your breath, your mind.
- Breathwork in the absolute void.
- Meditation so deep it feels like another dimension.
- Maybe even sleep so pure you wake up reborn.
The question isn’t could you handle it?
The question is: what would you build in there?
Anchors Down in the Quiet
Noise is everywhere, brother. But you don’t need the chamber to experience quiet (although it would be cool to check out!).
No, just close the windows, draw the curtains, and sit with yourself. Remote spots out in nature can also work.
Face the silence, build in it, and come out stronger than the noise.
Brick by brick.
