Welcome to CAP's SHS Strongman Training

If you want to come down and flip tires with the "old man"... do so at your own risk, I am not your mommies (even if I am prettier than some of them). If I tell you to scram--do so. We all help each other and WE ALL CLEAN UP. Bring water and an indomitable will. Check the blog 1 hour before you come down if there is foul weather or just in case--stuff happens. Subscribe by email or blog-reader to get updates (so I don't get 50 texts everyday). And, P.S. Meditate...It is the true Strongman Training.

Musashi on Fuji (From the Book: Musashi)

Musashi is talking with his student Iori about a daimyo Lord Yagyu, while waiting for a ferry. Mount Fuji looms across the waters.

"...That's what I want to be when I grow up."
"Important?"
"Umm."
"You shouldn't aim so low."
"What do you mean?"
"Look at Mount Fuji."
I'll never be like Mount Fuji."
"Instead of wanting to be like this or that, make yourself into a silent, immovable, giant. That's what the mountain is. Don't waste your time trying to impress people. If you become the sort of man people can respect, they'll respect you, without your doing anything.

The Book Musashi is by  Eiji Yoshikawa
