Date lost.
Over the years I’ve heard some anecdotes, seen some things.
I believe the human body is capable of absolutely amazing physical abilities. I believe all around athleticism is not only attainable, but natural.
I’ve heard old time Army and Marine Corps stories, “superfats”, incredibly long PT, sergeants running blazing fast ruck sack & gas mask 5ks.
I’ve heard laborer stories, seen laborer feats.
I’ve heard of how football practices in the 1950s were ran. I’ve heard of crazy size mismatches at heavyweight in high school wrestling. 180lb bumping to heavyweight against ~400lb good ole boys…no weight limit.
I’ve seen what lifetimes spent at sport, work, training can do.
Years of vodka and pushups can lead to insane ability on weighted pushups, I calculated it out, it was equivalent to a ~350lb bench cold at I’d guess a stocky 180lb.
All the knowledge commonly accepted in gym culture is limiting.
What equipment you have doesn’t matter. In reality you don’t need much, nor do you need much space.
All you need is the proper mindset.
You are the madman. You are the one who outworks everyone.
Persistence & Tenacity
