“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Unlike a lot of “normies”, as it were, I do not do New Year’s Resolutions – especially not those silly ones about “losing weight” and “going to the gym”. For me, the gym is not a chore – it is a habit. Over 11...
This is, of course, the month of broken resolutions. Every single year, millions of people make the “resolution” to get fit and healthy and lose weight, and every year, starting in January, many of them sign up for gym memberships. The result is that every...
The picture that you see above is of a certain Vince Sant, the face of one of the most hated and reviled – yet wildly successful – fitness and supplement companies in the world. That’s right, the male model second from right is the public face of...
Do you remember this picture? It’s been floating around teh innarwebz for years, and it’s all about the dangers posed to clients by really dumb, really inept gym trainers: I always thought that this was more of a joke than anything else, and that nobody...
There has been a debate raging in lifting circles for many years about the difference between low-bar and high-bar squats. And, honestly, from the perspective of actual lifters – rather than spergy nerds wanking in forums for teh lulz – it’s...
Longtime reader and friend of the blog Kapios asks an excellent question related to the severe and dreadful infestation of gym idiots that plagues pretty much every gym, anywhere: If you were a dictator what rules would you change about gyms? I know you mentioned...
Unfortunately my motivation and ability to write anything much of consequence have both been quite poor over the last couple of days, so I’m going to have to dig up an old favourite of mine: As I’ve said before, every single word is literal truth. It is an...
Following my (rather harrowing and mostly unpleasant) experience with CrossShit, commenter Andy asks: Would like to see your perspective on Planet Fitness next. Be sure to go on Free Pizza Day. 🙂 Well, to my considerable relief and delight, I am not in a country...
I have been roasting and attacking CrossShit for more than six years now on a fairly regular basis, and with very good reason. At its core, CrossShit comes down to combining anaerobic Olympic and powerlifting movements with hard cardio, and your reps and movements are...
Especially after having to witness Mat Best in drag: I do quite like the idea of handling ISIS terrorists using a Barrett M-82 50-cal, though. I cannot imagine a better way to send a goathumper to Jannah, short of maybe a 120mm anti-personnel canister cartridge fired...
