Sunday Summary
Posted on December 21, 2014
As I might have mentioned I have managed to injure myself in the back. This has made me unable to squat or perform heavy lifts putting stress on my lower back. Obviously this is in no way optimal for my gains but I have absolutely nothing to gain from a blasphemous defeatist attitude, which is why I have gone to the gym anyway. The good thing is that my legs are ahead of the rest of the physique which means that it is not the whole world if I miss a few weeks of training there. I will still go light on the leg press and go for high intensity with higher reps. Basically I will switch my whole training to a more bodybuilding style training, with more isolation movements and lighter weights, the reason for this is to put as little pressure on the skeleton as possible. Furthermore I haven’t really been serious about my chins as of late either so this is a perfect opportunity to bring some intensity to the lats again.
In other news it is soon Christmas or Jul/Yule the ancient Pagan tradition intermixed with traditions from the modern world in addition to some Christian elements. For me Christmas means eating, gaming and going to the gym with a lot of energy, courtesy of all the sweets available at my parents house (here over Christmas). Some people associate Christmas with alcohol, but alcohol is beta as can be and not something I participate in.
Also, the last Hobbit film is out, I have not seen it yet but will probably see it in the coming weeks and will also make a video on it! For those who are unaware I am a hoouuyyge fan of Tolkien’s work so the Hobbit is a big deal to me.
In the coming week it just might be the case that I don’t make as many videos but I will try to make some at least! :).
Sunday Summary

Greetings!
I have successfully commenced 3 sessions of the Russian Squat Routine, and it feels rather amazing to be back in the squat rack to be honest. I have received some friendly and brotherly criticism at my Temple for excessive benching and not enough squatting. But no more of that now, it also felt good in my body to return to a familiar movement, very stimulating for all senses! The first week of a RSR cycle is always relatively easy though, with the excruciating sessions coming later. I filmed today’s session also, which means that tomorrow’s video will be a voiceover, which are always popular!
My next goals is a solid 240 kg for my next meet, if I participate, otherwise I will just make a cool video of it and I’ll let the Internet be the judge of my lift!
In other news a new DLC is coming out for Total War Rome II, which I am looking forward to playing. I will make Let’s Plays of this DLC since I am finished with my Macedon campaign and a game with Sacred Sparta is a must to have on my channel as it is in all ways in accord with my aesthetics. 
My Total War Let’s Plays are more oriented around history, strategy and the game whereas my Skyrim Let’s Plays are more of everything, talking about pretty much anything. So unless you are a gamer I would recommend that you hang out with me in Skyrim while having your postworkout shake :).
Also speaking of games (it is winter after all so why not?) Mount and Blade Viking Conquest has come out which I also will be making videos of later on!
Furthermore speaking of Sparta I wrote an article earlier during the week where I elaborate on the city states of Sparta and Athens and what lessons we can learn from their teachings!
