The fuck would you not do daily workouts for!
I swing the mace, tonight it was 2×10 each side, after work – it’s been after every shift for over a year now.
Yes, I’m a bit compulsive about my workouts.
I lunge down and back, getting about 30 total/15 each side.
Inside, another set of pushups before I shower. This is two sets before work, one after, probably another still before bed.
It’s so simple.
Just do daily workouts and eat real food.
As I drove home I felt this instinctive thing – my life needs to be harder.
Fuck the job, fuck whatever job it is that you’re working – you need to PT daily, which I do, but that’s not enough.
You need to rigorously study, and rigorously apply.
Run your own business, have a few hobbies, speak more than one language, have a social life too.
You know many muslims memorize the koran?
It’s always struck me every time I’ve heard of it. I’ve little heard of this being done by christians with the bible.
Read motherfucker!
What have you got to lose with vigorous study?
…..
An ideal day is run walking the line of your limit, study, work, PT – NO DOWNTIME, every moment budgeted into the maximum use.
I lived like that as a sophomore in high school. Live that way again – and make it build something grand!
…..
As I drove I felt it…”have no mental blocks”.
Get that 300lb clean and press.
It’s not even elite, yet in all likelihood stronger than 99.9% of those you’d ever have to come across.
Have I fucked up in that I’ll never be a professional strongman, never hold a world record in powerlifting?
I’m definitely not on that path right now, just cleaning and pressing in the yard.
…..
Timed deadlifts – one hour.
…..
Why not see if I can press 20×155, then work on that rep range briefly.
…..
Persistence & Tenacity
