Legendary, Strong, Durable Motherfuckers


"Here are a few things that these legendary, strong, durable motherfuckers were not worrying about:

Whether dumbbells are better than barbell
or which is more "functional" than a kettlebell.
Whether to solely practice one- vs. two- arm lifts,
whether to make time to work on the accessories,
and whether they should train,
even if not feeling 100%.

Put your adult pants on,
take your nerd gear off,
and work hard and smart,
until you’re spent and stronger;
Or, don’t."
-Greg Walsh, Wolf Brigade Gym

5.14.17

One speculation. Nature seems to have a way to tame strong people, those to whom it gave strength and potential destructive powers. It makes them nicer. Stronger but nicer. A robust result shows that men with elevated testosterone levels tend to be more generous and peaceful, but get much, much more aggressive when insulted –as per Fat Tony’s ethos, they take no crap but give no crap. This is well known in the military and in weightlifting circles. Put someone through an Olympic-style weightlifting regimen and he will be less likely to be startled. 
It is no wonder that when you see a warmonger in the bureaucrato-journalistic class, you will notice something jarring: many look like nerds who have been bullied on school grounds, or, worse, skinny-fat marathon runners on a vegetarian diet, your local college teacher who specializes in gender history or postcolonial theory, or some political forecaster still whining about the election results. 
Jarring it is. It is quite offensive for nature to have people without the means impose their will on others, and technology allows such aggressiveness without the breaks spontaneously brought about by organic systems.
-Nassim Nicholas

Sons

Do not kill a man in a boy.
Learn your sons how to fight.
For a girl, for the truth, for no reason
Let him beat those, who are older and stronger. 
Let him know from the childhood: don't be ashamed to lose.
It's a shame to retreat because of the fear,
When after school bullies
Try to humiliate and break him. 
Don't send your boys to a dance school.
Let them do both boxing and wrestling,
So that even in the most difficult situation
He will have enough spirit to be himself. 
I know for sure: you are protective to your children.
But don't try to protect them from the world!
Tell them: everything what is important in life,
Needs to be protected at any cost.

No Remorse or Fear!

"No arguments! No explanations! No remorse or fear! Take accountability for your actions and choices and know that all associations and choices have repercussion. Stop pretending to be a victim when Empire decrees your flag outlawed, your cause unjust- this is a cult of the Father of Wolves, the Unknown Rider, and his people have always been outlaws, existing on the edges of accepted society, gnawing at the roots of what is already falling."

Starting the Amplify Podcast 1000 Rep Challenge yesterday with my daughter.  8 weeks of pushups every day and then a final test in week 9 to crank out 1000 pushups in 1 day.

Father Frost Mode

Men are like steel. They lose their value when they lose their strength.
What is the meaning of life - to strive to the goal, work to achieve the goal and make your life as good as possible.
Life goes before death, joy — ahead of sadness.

Improvement

The most effective method to constantly see improvement is to surround yourself with people who are pushing to surpass you at every turn. Your entire existence should be based around competition and thriving to be better than everyone. Always remain humble but also have your mind set to prevail over all.

Since the injury I have done some light training off and on. I decided to try out Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength.  I still have some limitations from the surgery in my left leg mobility wise so I am starting intentionally light on the squats and deadlifts.  No reason to rush back to have a set back (I hate heavy squatting anyway).

SS is a 3 day a week program but I will be adding a 4th day to do some Wolf Brigade training and probably a conditioning day once I can run again.  Also, lots of mobility and flexibility work on the off days.

Fighting or Fitness

This brings us to the actuary table of actuality. Most human beings are terrible at assessing risks accurately. We know this from how they behave, and what they fear. As a species, we tend to give a great deal of unwarranted attention to risks that are both beyond our control, and highly unlikely; terrorist attacks, airplane crashes, nuclear power plant disasters, and the Ebola virus, all occupy far more attention than is justified by people who are not actively engaged in jobs that involve those threats. At the same time, we give far less attention to things like smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, and car accidents, all things far more likely to kill us, and ironically, all things we have much more control over.

Beginners BJJ Class

Beginners class: Usually I teach the advanced classes at RGA in NYC. Sometimes however, I get asked to substitute in a beginners class when another instructor is sick or out of town. I always jump on the opportunity when it arises. There is something magical about a beginners class. It immediately returns you to the most important aspects of the sport and brings back the feelings of wonder you had when you first began in the kingly art of jiu jitsu. When teaching advanced students, my main focus is to get them TO IMPOSE THEIR GAME UPON THEIR OPPONENT. Beginners however, lack the skills to do this, and so here my main focus will always be PREVENTING AN OPPONENT FROM IMPOSING HIS GAME UPON YOU. Interestingly, the lessons of the beginner class have primacy - for in all truth, YOU WILL NEVER IMPOSE YOUR GAME UPON ANYONE IF YOU CANNOT FIRST PREVENT THEM FROM IMPOSING THEIR GAME UPON YOU. Those early days in the sport, as frustrating as they often are, when we get pinned and controlled and have no idea how to get out, are the essential part of a journey that perhaps one day will see you able to impose your will upon whoever is in front of you.

The 7-5-3 Code (No Gi)


The 7-5-3 Code is broken into 3 sections: The 7 Virtues of a Warrior, The 5 Keys to Health, and The 3 States of Mind.

7 Virtues of a Warrior
    The 7 Virtues of a Warrior help to guide the jiujiteiro in his interactions with others. With these virtues in mind we can hope to do right by others and ourselves, and not allow our training to falsely inflate our ego, sense of power and importance. 
  • Rectitude
  • Courage
  • Benevolence
  • Politeness/Propriety
  • Honesty/Sincerity
  • Honor
  • Loyalty
5 Keys to Health
    The 5 Keys to Health assist us in ensuring that we are at our most physically fit, so our training does not suffer.
  • Rational Nutrition
  • Sensible Exercise
  • Efficient Rest
  • Proper Hygiene
  • Positive Attitude
The 3 States of Mind
    The 3 States of Mind guide our inner relationship, so that we will think with clear mindedness and wisdom.
  • Zanshin (Alertness/Awareness)
  • Mushin (Clear Mind)
  • Fudoshin (Emotion Balance)

Meditation


"It is of paramount importance for warriors to place extreme focus on the subject of meditation. Without a calm and focused mind, the body will eventually falter. The practice of meditation is just as important as time spent in the gym or dojo, and for the majority is the practice which is typically ignored or feared."
-Craig Williams, The Mind of the Kshatriya

I had 3 or 4 different links pop up on my social media last week talking about meditation.  Not ads or anything like that, but various people I follow sharing articles they had written, like the one I quoted above on Operation Werewolf and this article written by Chris Kresser.  I also just finished reading Dharma Punx.  I took all those things as a sign and began meditation today.

I started with a simple 10 minutes.  It went by pretty quickly.  I am hoping to incorporate meditation on a regular basis.  The goal when I started this blog was to improve daily and improve in all aspects of life:  physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  I think this will help improve more than one of those aspects.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

As individuals who are engaged in a lifelong endeavor to make our bodies a temple housing the smokeless fire of our mind and will, we must utilize every tool to whet the edge of the blade of our practice.

The Pleasures of Drowning

I can now attest that the experience of grappling with an expert is akin to falling into deep water without knowing how to swim. You will make a furious effort to stay afloat—and you will fail. Once you learn how to swim, however, it becomes difficult to see what the problem is—why can’t a drowning man just relax and tread water? The same inscrutable difference between lethal ignorance and lifesaving knowledge can be found on the mat: To train in BJJ is to continually drown—or, rather, to be drowned, in sudden and ingenious ways—and to be taught, again and again, how to swim.

How Yoga Can Help Your BJJ

Developing this kind of flexibility doesn’t happen overnight. Just like technique in jiu-jitsu, flexibility in yoga takes a lot of focus and hard work. But once you develop this, you will feel the gradual improvement in your jiu-jitsu game. Not only will you be able to resist submissions a lot more easily, you will feel your mobility improve. You will become more agile because along with this flexibility, you will also develop strength - a type of yoga-specific strength that will help every facet of your game.

Prowler

The good thing about the Prowler is that it WORKS. If you have bad knees and can no longer stress them with any kind of running, walking with the Prowler will fit your needs. Hell, walking with the Prowler is harder than running. Remember the first couple workouts will suck the life out of you, but you will quickly get better. No one wants to go through life sucking wind and no one wants to go through life sucking at all.

2017 Goals


The concept of self-actualization is ironic, because it can never truly be reached. The weak man gives up. The stupid man thinks he has achieved it. The wise and strong man never stops his pursuit.

Here are my 2017 Goals:
  1. Improve one category in each Strength Test
  2. Train 160 hours of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the year
  3. Read 24 books
