Squatting is like s*x - doesn’t count unless you go deep enough 😏

176cm, 80kg

No bodybuilding just functional training. Mass is only useful if you can control it. Need to pick up calisthenics training again to fortify all the advanced bodyweight skills at this weight before moving up a bit more to lift heavier. Decided I want to try and hit a 200kg backsquat once in my life as a bucket list thing, before my peak runs out. Enjoy the journey

We already know what giving up feels like. I just wanted to know what happens when we don’t

Who are we, except from when we so briefly feel on top, having worked and toiled to become skilled and acknowledged, only to be forgotten when the tides of new swallow the past. Always trying to forge our success with such difficulty as turning pure gold from iron, only to end the whole endeavour rusting upon the waters of change as a new generation treads over our footprints. It is nothing but a fallacy, to believe and take stock in “I”. “I” am doomed to death, yet play a game of entanglements since birth, as if I am undying. The universe will echo with the sounds of my past, yet nobody shall hear them. To live is to struggle and to die is loss, hence “I” as the experiencer of both is the root cause of suffering. Only my clinging to my individuality and my experiences causes me to suffer. If I witness this “I” without becoming it, will I have salvation?

“If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval,” said Epictetus, “realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own.”
