A Triumph. Doing Things Thoroughly. Jotunheim Germany and USA. New Legio Gloria Releases
Posted on August 22, 2020
This article comes a bit later than originally planned but I thought it was a good idea to share some insights in regard to the recent European Jotunheim Nutrition launch in addition to sharing the progress of Jotunheim’s arrival in Vinland, the New World.
I actually opened up the Swedish webshop for orders in Europe two years ago. I quickly realised that is was far too premature to take that step. Since then I have taken the adequate and necessary steps to do it properly and thoroughly. There are many aspects to take into consideration and none of them should be rushed. Logistics, the legal aspects, accounting, packaging, correct labelling etc.
Thus the launch of the European webshop feels like a triumph. Hard work and patience pays off!
Since the beginning of the year, and this monumentally important decade, I have focused quite a bit on Jotunheim Nutrition. The Swedish site, admittedly, did not look good enough at that stage, but since then I have spent quite a bit of time optimising the page. The same can be said about the Legio Gloria page, which now looks quite aesthetically pleasing, if I may be so bold.
Moreover, as I announced on the Jotunheim Nutrition Instagram recently, Jotunheim will arrive in the US and Canada later this year. Opening up production in the US required a bit more research than was the case with the Swedish products. The products sold on the American webshop will not be the same as the ones seen on the Swedish and European one, since the former will be made in the US (as opposed to Sweden since I don’t want to ship that amount of food across the Atlantic). However, the products will be from grass-fed cows and will have the necessary certificates that vouch for an ethical and clean production. I will keep everyone updated on the grand opening of the American webshop.
In regard to the new Legio Gloria releases they consist of two remodelled garments, namely Saturnus’ Meditation Garment and Galadriel’s Blessing.
The changes that have been made are the following:
- Larger space around the arms, for increased flexibility and reduced amount of sweat accumulated in the armpit area.
- A smaller zipper for aesthetic and practical reasons.
The other new release, Saturnus’ Fitted Tanktop is actually a classic brought back. Except for the new logo it has undergone the same changes as the sleeveless hoodies; the tanktop has more space around the arms.
This fits a bit tighter than the stringers that were released a while ago, and has some elastane to make it stretchier.
The new releases are available at LegioGloria.com
Jotunheim Nutrition is currently available for European customers at: Jotunheimnutrition.de
And for Swedish customers at: Jotunheimnutrition.se
Updates on the American webshop will be announced in a few weeks.
Fulfilling Visions. Legio Gloria Summer Releases 2020
Posted on July 23, 2020
I wanted to share some thoughts regarding the latest releases (available here: Legio Gloria New Releases) since doing so is my custom and since I am happy and proud to present them.
The title of the article is Fulfilling Visions and I named it thus since many of the garments are now visions that have been fulfilled. Setting up a goal and reaching it, small or large, is a great sensation.
The Atlantis Linen Shirt is similar to the Aesthetic Men’s Linen Shirt. After some contemplation some adjustments to the cut were made. The new shirt is more spacious across the chest and less spacious around the waist, making it even more suitable for an athletic physique. The colour is a striped sea blue, and the name of Atlantis is to invoke the sense of a lost civilisation being brought back to life.
Linen is a great material for clothing and has a long history in Europe. Its only downside is that it quickly gets wrinkly. However, since this is common knowledge you can get away with it; no one expects you to have a linen shirt that is not wrinkly after a day of wearing it. That being said you can of course iron it before putting it on.
The linen shirt is made in Lithuania.
The Epona’s Gym Shorts have been in the works for quite some time and this type of shorts have been a personal wish for many years. I remember reading a historical fiction novel set in ancient Greece and the Greeks were said to wear clothing that showed the musculature of the legs, I thought this made sense. Wearing shorts that display your legs will also keep you accountable in regard to doing your squats in the gym.
Having strong legs is a sure sign of athletic prowess and also translates well into martial endeavours.
Epona is the Gallo-Roman goddess of horses and fertility. I associate the colour green with (among other nations) Gaul, and I associate horses with leg hypertrophy, hence the name.
You can wear these both inside the Temple of Iron and outside when the weather allows. The shorts are made of 100% cotton and is made in Poland (as is the rest of the garments listed below).
The Aesthetic Swimming Shorts are the most comfortable swimming shorts I have ever worn.
Speaking of swimming shorts, there is a cultural difference between European and American guys (geographically speaking) where the former prefer shorter swimming shorts whereas the latter prefer longer board-shorts. I am, of course, speaking in broad terms and it is my wish that all aesthetic and enlightened American guys try these out as well. Just be mindful that shipping continues to be delayed to the United States.
The Saturnus’ Imperial Tracksuit Bottoms are restocked. They deserve a special mention since they have served me well over the last year.
Saturnus (in Greek: Cronus) is a Roman deity associated with generation, dissolution, plenty, renewal and liberation, all aspects that can be wished for today. In Greek mythology he reigned during the Golden Age and we must post physique to end the Kali Yuga and bring back the Golden Age! I just mixed mythologies (Kali Yuga being a Hindu concept) but the mix works in this context because I believe we all can agree that our Modern World resembles the Kali Yuga to a large extent.
Imladris Athletic Tanktop
This is a tanktop that has been under progress for quite some time. I always like to try out new concepts and models before releasing them. I have trained in my prototype for about two months now and it has served me well.
The garment is very light and breathable and with a cut around the arms and shoulders that makes is optimally comfortable (it also minimises the sweat from the armpit to get to the garment). Perfect for training in warm climates.
Navy Gym Stringer and White Gym Stringer
Lastly, we have two new stringers. This time in organic cotton with a clean and stylish Legio Gloria – Evropa Invicta design.
They work well both in the gym and outside on a sunny day!
Epic and Motivating Quote from Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield
Posted on July 1, 2020
“/…/ Polynikes’ supreme physical beauty. In every aspect of his person, face as well as physique, the Knight was formed as flawlessly as a god. Naked in the Gymnasion, even alongside scores of youths and warriors blessed in comeliness and elevated by their training to the peak of condition, Polynikes stood out, without equal, surpassing all others in symmetry of form and faultlessness of physical structure. Clothed in white robes for the Assembly, he shone like Adonis. And armed for war, with the bronze of his shield burnished, his scarlet cloak across his shoulders and the horsehair-crested helmet of a Knight pushed back upon his brow, he shone forth, peerless as Achilles.”

My Censored Instagram Post
Posted on June 4, 2020
Yesterday I posted the following to Instagram (accompanying the picture above):
“Let me tell you something.
I have only had positive experiences with Black people (both in the US and Europe). Moreover, I do not blame Blacks for taking their own side.
However, what repulses me to no end are all the self-hating Whites. Spineless cowards who refuse to stand up for their own side. There is nothing that disgusts me more than a lack of loyalty. And that is what I see in so many Whites.
Complete silence when Whites are being targeted, no matter how gruesome the acts of violence and abuse.
My issue is not with other groups, but when there is a competition for land or resources (or other matters) I will put my own bioculture first, just as I expect the other groups to do.
Remember that you do not need to bear any ill will towards other groups, but you must always be loyal to your own group.”
And today it was taken down. Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary, but I want to mention it to highlight the double-standards of social media corporations. The reason for the post being taken down was supposedly that it contained “hateful content”. You can judge for yourself if the post was hateful or not.
That being said it is not a big deal but it is worth pointing out these incidents whenever they happen.
