some impt stuff b4 i go off

No longer intimidated. No fear, no regrets, the play is set in motion, im ready to roll.

Thoughts on strength:
so what if you are big? if you ain't stronger then me i don't give a fuck.

so you're big. act like one. why the fuck are u squatting about the same tiny me when you outweigh me by so much?

Douches
the biggest douche i can think of is one who had gotten big, with considerable effort put in, yes that is respectable. What is not all that commendable is the swagger you put out in the sacred temple of metal, acting like a king and all. don't start licking a boot when a real monster arrives to pray at the temple.

Why oh why, do you have to strike any form of conversation in the temple. The annoying fact is that the temple is full of chatterboxes all the time. time, which is definitely of the essence, should not be wasted on small talk and all. A serious strength/bodybuilding enthusiast may need the squat rack in the next 10 minutes, and you have probably wasted some of his time. This may seem trivial, till you realize, what if you are the victim at hand, waiting to duke out some sets of squats while waiting for Mr. Chatterbox and Mr. Chatterbox Two both military pressing in the power rack to get the fuck out.

So what is this phenomenon of the human mouth shooting off like an M60 in the sacred temple of iron? to conceal one's insecurities in a chatty, Mr. Oh-SO-You-Are-A-Gym-Regular type of douchebag? To make some fucking friends, just after you see them once in the gym? Oh, come on. Is there really a need to get to know every "hardcore regular types" in the gym? Is it to feel better knowing that you belong to the "in" crowd? Feel more at ease about yourself engaging in the "brothers for life" mentality amongst these "hardcore regular types'? Realize it yourself? You feel like a fag now don't you?



thoughts on the failed disciple

True disciples in the iron culture are RARE. Once found, they are most certainly your kin, brother and friend. Disciples practice the same trade as you. you are their teacher, encourager and idol that they look up to. as time passes, their trade will rival you. such is your power. you are their driving force, their only source of motivation in the pursuit of iron.

With power comes arrogance, with arrogance comes the eventual rebellion and the splitting of routes. The disciple may even mock the master, whether outwardly or inwardly. I believe this is inevitable no matter what. The split may or may not be optimal for the rebellious disciple himself. Yes, he may not have failed you, but you know he will take a much longer route to reach anywhere close to his true potential.

The Long Route is something i have experienced before. It is not fun, at all. Trial and error is an integral part of this dreaded route. It is when you are alone, going solo, being the lone wolf in the pursuit of strength. Failed techniques, method and recovery methods are so numerous that by the time you have gotten a grasp on what's acceptable and what's not, you can see those mistakes you make in your disciple yourself.

Such is the dismay i have gotten from rebellious disciples. knowing that he will make the same mistakes that you have made, is both laughably stupid and disappointing altogether. Is it so hard to accept the rate of gains, in both muscularity and strength, to become slower as you progress and break out of the novice level? Is it not the grand journey to the peak of muscular efficiency ( my own goal ) to be savored, the blood and sweat we shed, to be the ultimate testimony of our determination to achieve?

Ah, disciples. I'll never have any hope for another to come by anymore.

with my hands you were
torn asunder, piece by piece,
reveling at the inspeakable deed
every piece of your destruction
ironically scattered in the place you call home,
the crime that most consider inhuman, it was the ultimate salvation in my mind
walls splattered with crimson paint, a masterpiece to behold.

i hold your mangled remains up high as the justification of my conquest
an unwilling matyr to turn away any who opposes
as the orb of flames rises from the horizon
retiring to the empty shell once again
