From the archive, early August 2019, another post on what I call “survival mode” :
Screens as sources of information are either the most helpful or most harmful method of brainwashing yourself.
Are you mindless or purposeful when you choose to watch?
At 14 I subconsciously knew this, and went in with the proper mind while watching Lockup Raw on MSNBC.
Prep for war “preworkout”.
I’ve taken to watching these, prison movies, and “after prison” YouTube recently, and am more masculine and militant minded for it.
You fuckin train because you have to.
You do pushups, and use whatever else available.
A militant mind makes the simplest exercises extraordinarily effective.
Pushups, wall sit, jumping jacks, walking.
Good enough for war, be it overseas, on a mainline yard, or in your day to day mind.
Fasting? It ain’t a thing, has a purpose, it makes you mean.
At 18, 19, 20 I was starving, often under 60g protein a day, fucking building work capacity in the gym everyday lifting, all the while a lifting partner of mine at the time (a 23 or 24 year old former D1 linebacker who ate a “perfect” bodybuilding diet complete with BCAAs) was looking at me as if I was insane.
Diet don’t matter. Get enough. Mental can make anything enough.
Equipment? You is enough, everything else is icing.
Muscle up.
Ain’t nothing in the way.
Persistence & Tenacity
