what the hell
This 20 rep squats is without a doubt the eye-opener I’ve been searching for. Until now I’ve tinkered around the edges of hard work. A few curls here, a chin up or two there.
Yes I’ve hammered myself but squats were the last real frontier for me. I feel like I’ve always been afraid to jump head first into a really ugly workout. I’ve explained before but I can’t articulate enough how much legs workouts really broke me down. Mentally and physically. I have not ever never felt ill after a weights workout until this 20 squats thing. It literally takes me 3 minutes and a lot of breathing to squeeze out 20 of these f**kers and I’m not even hardly breaking the parallel plane with my quads. I f**king love it. I’ve done quite hard back workouts where I walk out feeling like I totally couldn’t do any more but to walk in and not be able to walk within the first 10 minutes - and THEN have to somehow get on with the rest of the circuit is just insanity.
I decided a long time ago after I watched a special feature dvd on the making of Superman and watching Christopher Reeves clean jerking and shoulder pressing that it’s man against iron - forget the machines, forget the cables, this is just you and a hard truth. Nothing stands between me and strength but a real acceptance of what is real. Squatting 80 kgs is a truth that i need to get to. And through.

I just read your ‘talents’ 2 blogs ago…fix a computer on stage? haha, and your toe talents are sure to get laughs! Actually, you maybe should go with a comedy routien and use the last paragraph as your opening act. Just say the last paragraph like you wrote it, you’ll at least get some chuckles…I know I was laughing the whole time! Come up with witty things like that, you said ya got a good brain. USE IT! haha
As for the kind of bod, umm, yes you do. What kind of body are you thinkin of? or better yet, what men’s magazines are you looking at? American Curves, Mens Health, even Muscle&Fitness all have women of all ages in their pages…haha, that rhymes. And yeah, you do have the body. I mean, when I first started my page a couple of months back and I saw ‘Fitness Freak’ blogs and pics, I was thinkin ‘HOLY HELL! Who is THIS?!’ . All I remember is the pink bikini, your hair in front of your face, and those wicked abs looking at the camera saying, ‘What…say something…’ yeah, those were your abs talkin. You can definitely grace the pages of magazines.
I’ll leave this final thought. Actually, its more of a request. If you do end up doing a comedy routine, record it, and post it! I would love to watch that stand up. Im a big fan of stand up comedy, and fitness. So you’d probably be one of the first ever Fitness/Comedian to tell jokes.
…..write an essay…LMAO!!!
best of luck
