darker times

they’re telling boulder heavy lies

looks like all we’ve got is each other

the truth is obsolete

remember when all i had was my mother

she didn’t compromise

she could recognize

voodoo

our daughters and our sons

are just candles in the sun

voodoo

don’t let him see divide

don’t you let her see divide

voodoo

she’s got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit

he’s got the whole wide world in his pants

he wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band

then put the whole wide world on her hands

she’s got the whole wide world in her hands

he’s got the whole wide world in his hands.

Listening to Frank Ocean singles on repeat. The Django one is also really good.

Preach.

This lady just won Miss America. The current Miss America does heavy squats and deadlifts. I wonder how many women’s magazines will mention this?

My journey into strength training

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:30:00 +0800

I’ve devoted a large amount of time over the past 9 months to developing my strength, and also to a lesser extent — my conditioning.

First, a quick summary.

Conditioning

Then:

Jog 300 meters and immediately get winded, start sweating.

Now:

Jog 500 meters without getting winded or breaking a sweat.

Strength

Bench

Then:
70kg x 1 (This was HARD)

Now:
95kg x 2

Squat

Then:
105kg x 1

Now:
115kg x 4

Deadlift

Then:
120kg x 1

Now:
157.5kg x 3

Prior to this year, I thought I was fairly familiar with the gym and was doing some fuckarounditis-centric training. No clear goals, no path to progression, no consistency.

Anyone who really knows me knows how tough the last half of 2011 was for me. I was going through an extremely difficult separation and was in need of something to look forward to just to get me through the day. Something that would give me the confidence and strength I needed to just get by.

I found strength-training. I thrive in structured environments and enjoy setting/achieving goals with milestones along the way, so the Stress-Recover-Adapt cycle of strength-training really suited my personal preferences.

So how did I start? The Internet is rich with training information and inspiration. There are two blogs that I am extremely thankful for: Lift-Run-Bang by Paul Carter and 70sBig by Justin Lascek. I was able to find a lot of useful information about lifting — also a lot about life in general — and through the knowledge gleaned from these sources (and many others) I was able to develop my own philosophy for training and health.

This is definitely something I’m going to be doing for the rest of my life. There are definitely always silver linings on every rainy cloud.

The latest post on 70s Big called my attention to this conversation between Frodo and Gandalf.

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 09:06:00 +0800

Frodo: I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
