Session of Prosperity and Harmony

  1. Deadlifts without straps of belt in order to work on my weaknesses which are the grip and the mid-section. When I go heavier I use both belt and straps in order to progress. However, once in a while I go without to stimulate the muscles that aren’t usually trained.
  2. The irregular chins are for the grip, having a strong grip is always good, no least in regards to martial arts.
  3. Regular chins, still without straps, this is also to work the forearms and the grip a bit more!
  4. High repetitions on the incline dumbbell-press, notice how I try to get a good depth and stretch in the movement, something I do not get when only doing benchpress. Furthermore I am rather weak when doing high repetitions, something I intend to progress in as of the coming time. Lighter, full range of motion dumbbell-presses are an excellent companion to heavy benchpress as they complement each other!
  5. Just playing around with the boxing a bit! The hands were never my strong suit so I am trying to work on that aspect a bit as well!
  6. Front kicks both in order to work on the technique but also to regain some flexibility in the front of the legs. I will make a separate video regarding my mobility work later on!
  7. The posing is from a lovely hike that I commenced with my beloved girl! One of my favourite things to do!

  2. Greetings from Australia! I was just thinking yesterday of asking what you did for mobility. Very keen to hear your view on whether we all need to be ‘Supple Leopards’ or not.

      • Hey brother, here are the last 2, if they interest you, we should collaborate some time. We’re both body builders, and I think we’re pushing a similar message.

I did a blood test earlier today and the results just came it. All looked good. The testosterone is at the same level as it was two years ago (I did the same test in May 2017), namely 21, which is right in the center of the normal range (I also did a testosterone test in 2015, then I got 18,6). For the record I might also mention that I have never taken any steroids, disputing this fact makes you a liar. It is not about anyone's opinion, it is the objective truth. Moreover, as I write in my book Dauntless, I can definitely recommend that you do blood tests every once in a while to see if you are deficient in something - so you can take adequate measures to optimise your health.

How to do a 24-hour fast? If you are training that day, do so in the morning (I use 10-15g of EAA before and after the session), then I eat the only meal of the day, which is lunch. The lunch should be a bit bigger than your standard lunch. For example, if your standard lunch is an egg omelet you can add a smoothie (with milk, peanutbutter, whey etc. or whatever your usual blend is) to the meal. After that, simply do not eat anything again until lunch the next day. You can drink tea and coffee (not coffee too late in the day though) without milk, cream or sugar (using sugar in coffee is blasphemous by the way). Falling asleep on an empty stomach is an acquired taste; unpleasant in the beginning but a satisfying sensation after a few times. Lastly, fasting for 24 hours may seem like a daunting prospect but it is really not all too hard once you do it. #legiogloria
