In Too Deep

The sea will swallow you...

"It’s late and I’m out of focus. I feel adrift at sea, lost in my backbreaking labors. Then all at once it hits me like a beacon in the night. In the middle of my rep, halfway through my set, that familiar feeling returns... The pain. It washes over me, wave after wave. My senses reel. Yeah, I could drop it all, walk away from this burden. Instead, I grit my teeth, catch my breath, and plow forward. When the going gets tough, many head for safe harbor. I don’t. I welcome the pain -- it keeps me honest. It grounds me. Brothers, this sea is wide and rough. Though the pain may come over you, never let it overcome you."
Why am I not in bed, like everyone else, dead to the world? Why do I do this, live with the constant pain, the suffering, the sacrifice? Why? Because I can. Because pain tells me I'm awake. Reminds me I'm alive. Who am I? I am the wrecker of steel. I am the crusher of mediocrity. I am the face of destiny. I am a Monster..."

no, you have a mental condition lol! Some kinda psychosis going on there I think!

Don't we all have some degree of mental condition? :) Here is another inspirational rant...

"The Ninety-Nines...That's what I call 'em. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people can't fathom what I do. They scratch their heads, can't believe my dedication to building a strong body and mind. Many don't even think weightlifting is a sport or that I have a life. Never let others define your 'life' for you. This is what I have chosen. This is the road I've taken, with all the potholes, bumps, and turns. The Ninety-Nines, they can't commit 100% to being their best, to step up one day and stand tall among the giants."

There are those who rely on luck, and those who don't know the meaning of the word.

"I don't play the lottery. I don't have the winning ticket. Everything I have, I busted my ass for. The only thing I ever got handed to me are the genetics my old man passes down. For him, I learned the value of a work ethic and getting your hands dirty. To those who've always wanted more, stand with me. We are few and we must stand on the mountaintops to be heard. When the day is done, our voices will carry. It shall be a call to all those who have always dreamed of something greater."

There are those who tear down others to build themselves up and those who just build.

"To the naysayers, I say your words will fall on deaf ears. To the doubters, take your misgivings elsewhere. To the envious, do not desire what we will achieve. I will beat back mediocrity with a fierce hand, will demolish conformity, so that when it's time to cash in my chips, I won't leave a legacy of regret, that I didn't go for mine. In each one of us lies the power to start something... So to those of you out there who can hear, let me say again, who are you and will you stand with me?"

I like em'.

I like em'.

I foresee an injury in the near future.

If you feel pain while you workout stop right there and stretch! I am not talking about your regular burn, I am talking about pain. You don't want to feel pain for the rest of your life because in the end it could slow you down & put you on the side lines permanently no matter how mentally tough your mind thinks you are .

the guy is ripping this stuff off of the animal website

Sharing :)

Good Ol AnimalPak! There is some inpriational shit in there for sure!

I liked it better when you use to share pictures!

GAMBLING, GODS AND PAPRIKA

Way to describe human quest for transcendence is an ambitious vacation with a hedonistic improvised agenda
It starts under the pauses of elsewhere. Where nowhere has to be found
... cliche after cliche
Unpredictable roller coaster
*Trip of philosophical anxieties, voyage found in and inspired by the hopeless tedium of lacking responses
we "ALL" have to carry, All our life

Languid work, lingers on dazzling, by turns, either terrifically inspired or spectacularly picturesque.. colors and textures.. like the world seen through profound personal perception
strenuous challenge of a real elusive point; *existence

“ unconventional approach pays off frequently with beautiful image and *textured sequence…
A more sensationalistic tone is despised fragmental disorienting perspectives;
** *the Truth is blooming in us…"

“Knowledge and idiosyncrasies of everyday life” *intellectual dimension that is explicit about having escapes and epiphanies;
COMPELLING

“A fascinating travelogue that links ephemeral images, people’s notions and landscapes to suggest that life is somehow all connected"

Raise your level of consciousness / waning light of human civilization
an eye-opening mind, *that rarely makes sense but never fails to dazzle

I like sharing them as well, but alas smut is taboo here. :(
