Legio Gloria Releases March 2020. Also a Note on Quarantine Training

A few months ago, or even a few weeks ago, I had no idea that the Covid-19 crisis would reach this level of intensity. It seems like nothing else is on the mind of people, which is understandable. That being said life goes on and the quest for glory and enlightenment must also go on. Even though many gyms and martial arts clubs have closed for the foreseeable future this cannot stop our training. If you have access to a place to run you can do so. Cardio does not kill gains and is great for your heart and mind. If you really do not like LISS (low intensity steady state cardio), i.e. running, you can do HIIT (high intensity interval training) instead, i.e. sprints. If you have a home gym or at least some weights at home you are even better off. Moreover, you can also do shadow boxing (a great exercise to reinforce your movement patterns). If you have the luxury of having a heavy bag at home you can do the following work-out I posted to YouTube: Isolation Heavybag Session.

Either way, make sure to not stop training. And also make sure to read a lot if you are stuck inside. Make the most out of the situation.

On another note, we have two new additions to the Legio Gloria clothing line. First and foremost Handsome Shorts in a new colour, namely forest green. The Handsome Shorts have been with us since 2017. Usually clothing companies like to update their entire collection season to season, but I see no reason to change a winning concept just for the sake of it. I like the Handsome Shorts and everyone else also likes the Handsome Shorts, so I have kept the formula. In this case, just adding a new colour and restocking the other colours. Squatting in a pair of Handsome Shorts is mandatory for all high-thumos men, just as reading Dauntless is mandatory.

The second release is the Piratical Brotherhood Sleeveless Hoodie. It is basically the same in its style to the Saturnus’ Meditation Garment (navy) and Galadriel’s Blessing (green) except that the zipper is smaller, I deemed it to be unnecessarily big (which got in the way in some exercises).

The purpose of a sleeveless hoodie is twofold. First and foremost it looks aesthetic, you want to evoke the feeling of a zealous disciple of the iron, a cultist of enlightenment. I have said it many times before and I say it again. When you train in the gym you have an opportunity to envision yourself as something higher, even if you are just starting out. Making it into something epic increases the chances of success (and it is more fun than doing it as a mundane chore).

Secondly, in terms of practicality, a sleeveless hoodie is useful when training in the gym. They keep the warmth of the torso yet let the armpits breathe. Moreover, they provide a sturdier base than a stringer or tanktop when it comes to certain exercises in the gym – such as benchpress or dumbbellpress. You can of course also admire your arm musculature in one!

On a last note, in regard to Jotunheim Nutrition for my Swedish supporters. Magnesium has been restocked. The container has a new design and now contains 114 caps instead of 90 (as was the case with the previous container). The price is the same though, so more product for the same price for my loyal customers.

You can order the new garments here: https://legiogloria.com/

If you are stuck inside wanting something to read you can also check out Free Speech Library: https://freespeechlibrary.com/
I recommend Piero San Giorgio’s new book CBRN (I will make a book review video on it later on). You can also get Dauntless at this webshop.

If you are in Sweden you can stock up on magnesium, and of course the best whey, here: https://jotunheimnutrition.com/

Company Update. Dauntless is back in stock – Also, a note on Jotunheim Nutrition and Brave Web-browser

Greetings, I am checking in with an overall update.

As you might already be aware of, Dauntless is now back in stock in all stores. As I said in the latest video, a primary goal is to get as many people to read it as possible. This is the most I can do for the Cause at this moment in time. Not the only thing of course, but perhaps the most powerful strike against the regime of the West and the decadence of the Modern World.

Moreover, I recently removed PayPal as a payment option on both LegioGloria.com and JotunheimNutrition.com due to their mistreatment of political dissidents on our side. However, I still have the account, so if you are unable to order with a card, send me an email to thelion@legiogloria.com and you can place a manual order. The odd manual order using PayPal is not a problem, but reoccurring and frequent payments is better done without that particular company.

In regard to Jotunheim Nutrition I write this in English, even though the supplements only are available in Sweden, so that all supporters know how things are going.

Whey is technically speaking not a supplement, but food. Either way the new bags are very aesthetically pleasing, if I may be so bold as to point this out. Buying all of them at once came at a cost (that would have been too high a year ago), but in the long run they are cheaper than having the previous stickers on, they are also more time efficient since we don’t have to stick them onto the bags ourselves. By we I mean my wife and I. It was not the worst thing to do, applying stickers to bags, it was quite meditative to be honest. But very time consuming nonetheless and now that time can be spent doing other things.

Furthermore, in regard to taking a small step in a more minimalist and environmentalist direction the bags now contain less material (as the design is directly on the bags). Also, I decided to omit the plastic scoops from the bags. This did not give me a lower price on the whey, but it feels better for the soul. Also, minimising the use of plastic is always good.

Moreover, we made some small alterations to the whey recipe (starting with the chocolate) making it contain more natural ingredients, nothing major, just some small tweaks to it. I am more experienced and knowledgeable now than when I started so I am more confident in implementing changes.

We also added collagen to our range. This is to compensate for the lack of bone-broth in our modern diet. My wife makes soup with bone-broth quite often but I have started taking collagen on a daily basis anyway to optimise my skin health and recovery. In short, collagen is good for your ligaments and skin (among other things). Training hard on a regular basis depletes your collagen so it is good to supplement with it, sun exposure also depletes the collagen stores so during summer it might also be a good idea to take some extra, either via a supplement or via eating additional bone-broth. Collagen also contains glycine, which can aid your sleep.

This particular formula also contains some vitamin-c and magnesium. This is to make it more into a training and recovery powder and not just a pure beauty and ligament one. I drink the collagen (one scoop) together with EAA Jordgubb (strawberry – one scoop) in warm water (it mixes better in warm water).

Moreover, in regard to Jotunheim Nutrition, I added a package called Stora Muskelbyggarpaketet (The Big Musclebuilding Package). This is a discounted package that optimises the storage in regard to delivery, which means it is filled with as many products as possible for a particular shipping price. Shipping costs in Sweden are horrendous so it is good to optimise such things.

Lastly, a note on the web-browser Brave. I have used it for about six months now and can recommend it. I switched from Chrome in an effort to use fewer Google services. A kind-hearted light on Twitter encouraged me to investigate Brave BAT, which I did. I am still learning more about it but I signed up as a content creator and got two referral codes, one for Twitter and one for YouTube. If you decide to switch to Brave, you can support me by using any of the links below.

I will talk more about this and operational security online and crypto-currency in a coming video. Speaking of crypto, I have added addresses on the support page.

If you have read this far I salute you and wish you a great week ahead!

January Releases for Legio Gloria – Primordial Gods

New year, new opportunities! We are starting the year with some epic releases with the focus on martial arts, as we have two new rashguards (in addition to a restock of the already existing ones), a new pair of MMA-shorts, and last but not least a garment for strongmen and powerlifters. Read on!

Primordial Gods – Rashguard

First and foremost. I have decided to remove PayPal as a payment option for both Legio Gloria and Jotunheim Nutrition, this is due to PayPal’s nefarious behaviour in regard to black-listing political dissidents. I have not been unfairly treated by PayPal myself, but do not want to do business with a company that behaves the way they do. No company is perfect but PayPal has been unreasonable in their attitudes. I understand that PayPal is a convenient payment method and makes purchases easier for many customers. However, I do hope that ethical choices mean more than convenience at the check-out.

On a more positive note. January is the month of the Wild Hunt, although it must be said that for all Legio Gloria guys every month is Wild Hunt month.

The Wild Hunt – Rashguard

January is the start of many things, martial arts training being one of them (since semesters usually start in January and August). Which makes it appropriate for me to respond to a commonly asked question:

What martial art should you train? Train whatever you can successfully incorporate in your everyday life. Getting good at a martial art follows a similar recipe as getting strong and muscular in the Temple of Iron. It is about consistency and progression over a long period of time. MMA, Thaiboxing, Western Boxing, wrestling and BJJ are all solid choices.

Above are the new Lion of Europa – MMA Shorts. They are same in their size and cut as the Dragon Prince ones that were released during the summer. The design is inspired by medieval heraldry. The lion is armed with a morning star instead of a sword in this design due to aesthetic reasons. Wear these during intense sessions and whenever you need an energy boost, just look in the mirror and remind yourself that you are not alone and that there is a higher cause which to train for.

We also have a release for all certified big boys – namely the Ymir’s Strength Garment.

Ymir – the primordial giant of Nordic mythology demands offerings in the form of strongman and powerlifting training. This is a loose fitting training garment but is comfortable to wear in all relaxed situations. These are very big in their sizing. You can go with either one or even two sizes smaller than usual. The XL ones are for true giants!
I wear L in mine (the one seen in the picture) after having it washed in 40° (30° is the recommended standard washing warmth).

Sizes in small and extra small will be incoming.

If you find the Wild Hunt – Rashguard aesthetically pleasing – it is also available as a t-shirt in the form of Odin’s Wild Hunt – T-Shirt.

Moreover, as many of you probably are aware of, we now have a newsletter you can sign up for. The sign-up form is located at the bottom of the LegioGloria.com page, just type in your email and confirm via the email that is being sent to you.

Furthermore, Dauntless is out of stock. It is estimated to come back in stock in late January. The new batch is with corrected grammar and spelling, there will also be a hardback available. If you already have the first version of the book – you have the honour of possessing the first version of it!

Lastly, a note for everyone who placed orders in December – due to Christmas there might be a delay in delivery since basically all postal services are still catching up on work.
