STRENGTH ADDICTION

I rarely doubt there has been a time in my life that I have not thought about strength in one form or another. I never retarded the notion to that of only a physical display, but wanted to master the ideal in an emotional extent too. 

I grew up with larger than life figures that molded my perceptions of manhood and guided my dreams to the weight room. I have never turned back. I never was forced to do this. I chose this path because I wanted to be complete, inside and out.

TEMPO! TEMPO! TEMPO! Part 1.

Feet planted firm. Thrust with the glutes and while doing so, drag the weight up and allow for total momentum to help carry the bar upwards before finishing off the repetition. Drop the weight back to starting point and repeat again until you can no longer perform anymore Bicep curls – SORRY WHAT?

THE CALLING...:part 6

Whirlwind. Insane. Electric. Unreal. Euphoric. Thankful. Blessed.

Those are the words that I can use to describe the day that has just passed. Today was event 4 and 5. The Man Test. The "100's" and the back-breaker. Deep breathes.

THE CALLING...:part 5

Surreal. That's the first word that comes to mind when thinking about the day that has just gone past. Day one is a wrap and it flew by. 

TICKING ALL THE BOXES

BODY WEIGHT:              96kg / 211.6lb

Morne just opening up a can

BENCH:                          170kg / 374.8lb

DEEP SQUAT:                200kg / 440.9lb

DEADLIFT:                      240kg / 529.1lb

Those are some impressive stats, what's even more impressive is the fact that Morne is an all natural beast - and by natural, I mean that I've seen the guy take in maybe 1 or 2 protein shakes in the entire time that I've known him. I'm pretty sure, in his presence, your testosterone jumps.

THE CALLING...:part 4

After some late night packing and a few hours sleep, my typical iPhone alarm goes off. But unlike my usual sluggish squirm out if bed, I was up like a drill sergeant at dawn! Coffee on the boil, some jungle oats and a last minute check through the essentials:
