Sharpen the knife


Forget about body parts and think of your body as one piece. Think of your body as a functional weapon. Really.


Sitting around at dinner with some buddies 5 months ago I started to tell them how I wanted to be after the challenge was over. I said I wanted to be and look dangerous, like a sharp knife. Chiseled and athletic.


Now maybe you're not crazy and weird like me and you just want to lose belly fat. This will get you looking strong and lean fast.


It's this simple: Pick up weight from the ground and put it above your head. Rinse and repeat. Do exercises that work everything at the same time: Deadlift, squat, press, dips, pull-ups, clean and shoulder press. Train the body as one. Notice you don't need some fancy machine or gym to do this. Train your body as one piece anywhere.


Sleep like a baby


I like staying up late like the average guy but I had to end that after I learned how important early sleep is in the fat loss muscle building game. It's vital.


Turns out your best recovery occurs when your body releases this amazing thing called human growth hormone. it's released during your deepest sleep cycles. Simply put, it builds muscle and reduces fat while you sleep. This is crucial to seeing fast results naturally. Get to bed bed early tonight and get your 7-8 hours.

 

“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

 

“Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters


“People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted

“The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

“If we can forgive what’s been done to us . . .
If we can forgive what we’ve done to others . . . If we can leave all of our stories behind. Our being villains or victims. Only then can we maybe rescue the world.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted

“Maybe you don't go to hell for the things you do. Maybe you go to hell for the things you don't do. The things you don't finish.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

“In a world where vows are worthless.Where making a pledge means nothing. Where promises are made to be broken, it would be nice to see words come back into power.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby


“When we die, these are the stories still on our lips. The stories we’ll only tell strangers, someplace private in the padded cell of midnight. These important stories, we rehearse them for years in our head but never tell. These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment. For a visit. Every story is a ghost.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted


I know some of this will touch certain people. I am fine with being a ghost. I am fine and happy with the people that accept me as such. I will continue to show others that they are stronger than they were trained to feel or think. I will die someday. I accept that. What I won't accept is leaving this existence without showing that we as humans are not beyond saving.


“This wasn't any mere song and dance; here was a bold, blaring declaration howling itself into the empty face of death.”

Very true. But as oppossed to typing my training, I am currently making videos of it and will be answering questions through in sunsequent vids.

The update in of itself was to do what most programs and trainers fail at in the long run. Inspire to rise above self imposed limits. No matter if an external source claims you to be weak, you have the choice to accept it or not. The videos should be out by Wed, the latest.:thumbsup

Benching 275lbs, squat is sitting well at 365lbs 3x5. This video is after the gym and it employs a "ladder" system of reps for additional strength work using only my bodyweight.

“Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn't a song that anybody else wrote. It has its own melody, it has its own words. Very few people get to sing their song. Most of us fear that we cannot do it justice with our voices, or that our words are too foolish or too honest, or too odd. So people live their song instead.”
― Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

 

“All the effort in the world won't matter if you're not inspired.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Diary


“It's creepy, but here we are, the Pilgrims, the crackpots of our time, trying to establish our own alternate reality. To build a world out of rocks and chaos.
What it's going to be, I don't know.
Even after all that rushing around, where we've ended up is the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.
And maybe knowing isn't the point.
Where we're standing right now, in the ruins in the dark, what we build could be anything.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Choke


“People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.”
― Neil Gaiman


Happy Halloween, girls. Daddy loves and misses you...

 

“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman: Season of Mists

“Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')”
