Been crushing a lot of raw lamb lately.
It’s great, it’s fattier than beef and probably a bit more sustainably raised, even though I buy both organic. I buy it ground, about a half kilo or a little more, throw in two eggs yolks or three, then some honey, then chop up some garlic and then crush! I’ve also been consuming Kombucha in mass quantities lately. I feel like that is very good for me right now. Funny, when it comes to doing things that ‘feel’ right, I think we often still do the ‘wrong’ things. Our feelings are based very heavily on our past experiences and our associations and belief systems regarding them; so I always question people very heavily when they say they do anything ‘instinctively.’…and yet I do it myself. I think it’s important to remember, though, that these ‘instinctive’ feelings that we think can’t be wrong are actually our body, spirit, and mind’s way of perfecting it’s own instinctive feelings. Everytime they are wrong, they get more right. I think the best way to do most things is to try and make your actions a reflection of your innermost, some might call ‘instinctive,’ feelings, as well as your logical thought. Get those two working together and you’ll be doing pretty well.
In other news, I felt a little twinge in my right pec the other day at the end of a set of bench presses. For some reason, after reading about Layne Norton’s torn pec, I have been more than bothered by it; I felt almost a slight sense of foreboding-if there is such a thing as slight foreboding. My pec is a bit tender today, not bruised, definitely not torn, but definitely tender. I remember, in the old days, reading the Arnold book, him talking about doing different rep schemes for every workout. This is something I’ve been thinking about doing for quite some time, and I think the time is now. I have been training heavy(6 reps or less) to failure for basically my entire weightlifting ‘career.’ I think my body is making it pretty clear to me that I can’t keep doing the same thing over and over again or I’ll keep getting the same thing out of it over and over again-less and less results, plus injury. It’s funny how easy it is to point that out in somebody else’s training, but when it comes to my own, it’s taken me forever to even become moderately aware of it-and then even longer to actually do something about it with any regularity-which has yet to happen; we’ll see if it does.
So, how are you?
love, Paul
