“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

And this is how it’s done

NOT the Halfbreed method. There are several introverted bloggers that I follow and actively read- Vox, Carey from Speakeasy(X), Blackdragon, UncleBob, etc. Halfbreed’s blog is more on the PUA/game side of things; while he doesn’t post often, he writes...

The Gamma and the bench press

McRapey* recently took to his Twitter feed to congratulate his daughter on her weightlifting achievements. Nothing wrong with that, clearly- but then he went and did something very stupid indeed: This, of course, inevitably caused the rest of us who aren’t a...

Unleashing beast mode

Mike Tuscherer is one of the best drug-free powerlifters in the world, which is sort of like saying that you’re one of the best anything in the world. He posted a video a little while back about how to push through the mental barriers that stop you from...
