The bar was loaded. My back was covered in chalk. The belt was squeezing my waist like a pair of pliers. A rhythm that could make a dead heart beat again, and a guitar escorting your soul to the place where deities live, were coming out of my headphones. I got under the bar – […]
Pressured by a desire to acquire, naturals submerge in the muscle game with a heavy enthusiasm that makes the hard seem easy and the impossible possible. Like a temp working all night accompanied only by the indifferent photons emerging from the dusty lamp in the office, the natties of this world spend their days and […]
We are not machines, but we share many similarities with computers. We can be programmed to believe anything. This is how our perception of reality is formed. Everybody is convinced that his program is the best one. Everybody thinks that he is right, but sometimes – it’s a virus speaking, not the truth. The false […]
What’s the number one reason to lift? The goal has always been to look good naked. This is why every fitness commercial chooses fitness models over fat hairy powerlifters. But when you learn that you cannot become like your heroes naturally, the desire to lift quickly disappears. Why would you go to the gym 5 days a […]
A large population of this world is made of phony saints. Those are the guys who see a popular celebrity sleeping with five different women and label him as a shallow man-whore. They are right but some are also liars. Very often people who condemn others do it to justify their own gloomy existence. The […]
Ignorance equals oppression. The less you know, the more they can control you. People disconnected from the truth or plugged in a false version are up for the taking. There are two main ways to put humanoids in ignorance mode. The most obvious method is to deform reality as much as possible. That’s been going […]
What if I tell you that there are aliens in the gym? Those would be the guys who just don’t match the whole picture not necessarily because they are too big, but because they look different. It’s like comparing a raw photo to one enhanced in a digital editor. I spent two years in a […]
In the age of Facebook and Instagram motivation, it is not politically correct to talk about limitations. The people who say “This is impossible.” are presented as losers and bitter haters who just want to bring everyone down in the misery pit. This has resulted in the formation of a “positive” crowd living in the clouds. […]
The calisthenics epidemic is reaching global proportions. More and more people are gathering at specially equipped playgrounds to do push-ups and flex their muscles for strangers walking in the park. Some of the guys are big. Very big. Many are muscular enough to pass for MIT (Men in Thongs a.k.a. bodybuilders). Bodyweight kings give a […]
Wherever I went, it was always with me. I could neither see it nor touch and yet my whole presence was subject to it. I wasn’t free. I had a master, an oppressor. At first, I tried to live with it. “At least, others can’t see it. That’s good enough,” I thought. But as time passed, […]
Many people think that I am a skinny loser who never trains and spends most of his time torturing voodoo dolls representing unnatural bodybuilders and juicing fitness models. Sorry, but that’s not entirely true. I may be skinny, but I still lift. Also, I don’t own any dolls…yet. My most recent accomplishment is a 41kg/90lbs […]
Some wise men say that to start living you have to die first. You have to leave the character assigned to you behind. You have to detach yourself from your corporate name and connect to the real you. You have to become egoless. The question is how? I understand that nobody wants to die because […]
