I was honestly on the fence about posting it because I felt like I couldn't quite get the idea off the ground, but the meaning behind it seemed to resonate well enough.<br /><br />I can definitely see the carryover into things like martial arts, and really pretty much anything.

I'm a big fan of anything you write on the topic of not forcing yourself into convention.<br /><br />This might make your eyes roll having been from the MA board, but it reminds me of Bruce Lee rejecting limitations to certain techniques just because it's what your "style" is.Pow Pow Punishmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292926521809796190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241010404351033906.post-48208220859917002962014-05-05T09:35:54.200-07:002014-05-05T09:35:54.200-07:00God, I WISH I could go back in time and tell my yo...God, I WISH I could go back in time and tell my younger self to start with the safety bar as soon as possible, I recently found out that doing 90% of my reps with the safety bar built up my low bar without having to do anything with it 'cept come in and max out.vartankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404046493942977296noreply@blogger.com
