Lower body training (RPB)

Get busy lifting or get busy dying is my take on the famous Shawshank Redemption line. People waste their lives trapped in a false reality, blindly following the current trends so arrogantly presented in local tabloids. Wake up and realize that you're been conned...big time. There is nothing more liberating than living for something that you "feel" is the right thing. Like the guys at RPB. You can see that they belong there, it's the closest thing to home they will ever know. Week after week, month after month, in search of punishment and abuse, smiling from ear to ear because every training session that goes by fuels that inner desire and solidifies the overall structure. This shit is for life, once you're in that's it, say goodbye to a normal life, welcome to the asylum.      

Today Gijs was the better man and beat me at the ab bridges. There are no excuses for losing, he was able to soak up more punishment over a longer period of time, it's that simple. Tough, proper tough, the kind of toughness that intimidates even the toughest guys.
