Flashback Friday - Who remembers the day we first took our 100 pound bag to new heights?

Or remembers this Strongman? (Miss you kid!)

Indra Opens His Eyes... (Joseph Campbell)

Hopefully you read the post below this one, and then try this on for size. Joseph Campbell is one of my heroes.

Pondering... Strongman Mind

So we don't just inspire explosive and powerful bodies but minds as well. So here is some heavy lifting I was doing while sitting listening to some of my students sing a love song to Domino's Pizza:

I felt the need to re-read one of my favorite short stories on AI and Entropy - to keep my brain from suffering anymore entropy.

After this I followed up, the Issac Asimov classic by finding this essay on the consciousness of artificial intelligence.

Wonder Women!

I often would like to change the name of our Strongman Group to something other than Strong'MAN,' --well for the main reason that my wife is ten times as 'Strong' as me but also because we have had so many strong wo-men (Coach SAM!) come to Strongman and make us boys look foolish. But alas, when I say Strength Training instead most people aren't as: 'OOoooh, I want to try that' as hearing they have access to low or no cost 'Strongman' training with all the toys, etc. So... until that changes we are 'Strongman' with a not silent WO in the center of that word. And for all of us who want another reason... check out this: (And think of this next time you want to make excuses about getting out there and doing it!)

'Be like Water My Friend...'

'Be like water my friend,' a quote attributed to Bruce Lee but it comes from Eastern thinking. This though is a truism for Martial Arts, Strongman and Athletics and Life. Most of all life in general. Water is Life. And with that in mind, here now (thanks to my wife for turning me onto this) is another 'TRUE Strongman.'
