Upper body training

I wish these motherfucking civilians would just forget the address to the gym. They're just occupying space for nothing. They're never gonna achieve anything meaningful with that half-assed attitude. You can see they lack the "pitbull instinct". No anger, no hate, no aggression, no balls. Prematurely castrated purty pink panty wearing oxygen consuming lazy sons and daughters of already senile retards. Take a page from someone you despise and grow a pair of nuts. Learn to make way for real motherfuckers that are on a path of (self)destruction. If you don't squat or deadift then go make me a sweater.

Events training

The Brick Fridge is addicted to stones and deadlifts. The more weight you put on the fridge the angrier he gets and the more impressive the performance. He said he's gonna take it easy but we all know you can't believe a junkie who's telling people that he's had enough for now :))) There's never enough weight to be lifted and never enough records to be shattered. Onwards to the 300 kg deadlift and the 175 kg stone.

It was good to see Big Belly back in the house joking and clowning about like there's somebody waiting to donate him a new pair of knees. I've never had knee problems from lifting weights but maybe it's not a bad idea to protect them as much as I can.

The war of attrition with Big G continues. I hope he realizes that all the things I say are not meant to insult or demoralize but to motivate and uplift the spirit. At the end of the day, after it's all said and done, Mister G is still the paragon for gym toughness and that's a motherfucking hard title to take away.

Events training

My left biceps got seriously fucked today. Searing pain, the type of pain you get when you hit your shins against a sharp metal object. So Frank encouraged me:
- Don't worry man, it'll pass. You gotta be tough like me. 
- Hey Frank, you've got blood dripping from your nose.
- Oh yeah, from the pressure of deadlifting 3x240 kg. No big deal. So as I was saying...

Made quite a few PRs today. The 120 kg stone I owe it to all the tips from Gijs. Now I know how much I have to dip to make it effective. What a day...Frank "played" with the 130 kg stone. I've never seen him handle the stone so easily. He beat the stone into submission like it owed him money. He took the stone to school and taught it dynamic physics. Mister G trashed the chain yoke. Made the yoke cry...

Events training

Kevin and Gijs are monsters on the viking press and I was able to correct my technique by following their instructions. Yeah buddy, the only way to get better is to train with tougher and more powerful individuals. Forget about books, videos and other instructional shit. Find a bunch of reckless motherfuckers and try to take their records away. That should spark some growth :))) With that said, guess who's still the undisputed and undefeated king of the hercules hold. By the end of the year I will have the unofficial world record on this fucking exercise. I don't care how many times I have to try. I'll show the people that I train with, the only people that really matter in this physical pain endeavor that you can come from nothing but if you bleed yourself dry you can take what's yours and break all limitations. I am currently 16 seconds away from that goal. The world record, to my knowledge, is currently held by Tarmo Mitt with 71 seconds, a record set in 2005. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgAsL6eO7Q
