Wisdom Gleaned From Licking The Thunderpussy Root Toad
Locked deep within the trunk of the Mayan date tree, KING MARMOSET licks the psychedelic skin of the Thunderpussy root toad to meditate and achieve the "big thinks". With his brain swirling in colors and lights, your royal simian’s brain comprehends it’s time for a philosophy change!
Weight Lifting: Being mentally bogged down with brokering treaties with the Raptor clan, battling constricting and poisonous snakes, wooing lady marmosets, and fighting off rivals to the kingdom of Marmosetia, the King’s brain is at capacity and didn’t fully get the message regarding fatiguing the muscle. Sure, the King lifted hard, but something was missing. Growth results were lagging behind predictions.
The King gleaned a few fragments of knowledge from the blogs of Body Auditor and Just Dave and from an article by Derrick "the Beast" Charlebois. The amount of sets and reps are all well and good, but the only thing that really matters is truly fatiguing the muscle. It doesn’t really matter how you get there, but truly fatiguing the muscle has to be the end result. Then, growth can fully manifest!
Cardio: Yee oldee KM has lost around 30 lbs in 2007 without doing anymore cardio than playing hockey 2-3 times per week. The only difference between pre-2007, where hockey was still played 2-3 times per week, and now is eating clean and being fully healthy. Yes, doing nothing more than eating clean shed 30 lbs already this year. Behold the true power of eating clean!
When it comes to hockey, the King is looking at being 33 years old soon (old by marmoset standards). It’s not fair that there is a never ending supply of punk 18 year olds who seem faster and faster each year; speed does not get better with age! Plus, the King felt his game slipped a little over the summer. He wasn’t dominating, wasn’t showing that special burn he had to beat people, wasn’t manifesting that higher speed gear, and wasn’t leading his teams to glorious victory! The remedy: cardio!
Cardio was done for one week and the benefits were unreal. The speed returned, the power was back, and the late game low energy was completely gone. It’s like the age clock has been reset to 29, when the King was at his best, all over again. All it took was high intensity cycles of 1 minute hard 1 minute slow on the bike for 20 minutes total.
Oh, and the fat loss!!!!! Losing weight from eating clean is great, but it’s a slow process. With cardio, the flubber flies off. Who knew????
Thus, cardio will continue. Progress will be documented via the pictures portion of the progress page on a bi-weekly cycle. We’ll see how far we can go with this.
King Marmoset would like to thank the psychedelic secretions of the Thunderpussy root toad for opening up his mind enough to attain these "big thinks". If you wish to attain "big thinks" of your own, please visit www.thunderpussyroottoad.com.

In addition to it’s many health benefits, Thunderpussy Root Toad (TRT) has many-a-times been the source of mankind’s greatest achievements: Ford was doing TRT when he designed the model T, George Washington, partook of the TRT before crossing the Potomac, Arnold S. was actually smoking TRT in Pumpimg Iron, and although many believe steroids were involved, Lance Armstrong actually was inhaling dried TRT before his Tour victories…..Yep, it’s hazy over here right now….

I like how it rolls off the toungue……Thunderpussy. With a name like that, it’s got to be good.
