Oh, man. I love when this happens.

April, 2008. 575 Posts. Six letters in response to a thread that has been graveyard-dead for over a year. Keep the engine running, he'll be back in a minute.

As it is, we might as well revive this thread. Give it a good go 'round. It's so old that many people around here won't recognize it.

Paging Kabuki... Do you Remember those days?

hey i just read the faq over cause im a conditioning freak, and i saw that linked, so i read it

[jmcmma9]

Funny article. Thought if everyone was smoking and drinking, We could not train as hard to make us more manly.
Just my oppinion.

[T.J.T]

Id be the first to admit i can be a pussy training, but i always belived to take care of my body so i can preform better when i need too.

Now come to competition, im compleatly diffrent, i rarly feel anything, and usualy have more then enough "grit" to get it done.

I laughed my ass off reading this though, and the first 6 pages of tools that couldnt take this as a joke. some people just fail at life.

[Polynikes]

I read the first page and nothing thereafter.

Good article.

I think that the main problem I see in the gyms these days is that everyone wants to be something that they're not.

Odds are, you're not a beauty model, you're not a ladies man, and you're probably not that hip/cool...regardless of what you think...


The day that you see a female in your gym and you say this:

"Damn that chick's strong/fast."

You're done...

Leave the gym and don't ever come back.

She ought to be saying that about you, not you about her.

You want to impress her you puke in front of her.

You do a set of squats so heavy and so deep that you have trouble walking out of the gym.

You want to be a bad son of a bitch or not?

If so, you rip out a heavy set of 5 barbell snatches, then hit the rest of your Javorek complex.

You set yourself apart from every other dude in that gym.

Every single time you walk into the gym your goal should be to outwork every motherfucker in there.

Not to toot my own horn, but when I lift, I make damn sure that nobody in that gym could hang with me...and I make sure they fucking know it too...

The gym is not a place where everyone plays nice with each other, and it's definitely not a place to make friends either.

In fact, you don't want friends that won't compete with you. If you have a partner that can't hang with you, ditch his ass.

Well, if he can't do the same weight as you but he's there every day and he's full of vigor / emotion, then you keep him by your side for as long as possible.

But if you have a little pussy you work out with that can't hang in any category with the most important being emotion, you kick him to the curb.

Fuck him, he's not your friend.

If he doesn't push you to be your best, he's not worth your time.

Paging Kabuki... Do you Remember those days?

Not only do I remember those days, but I remember the glory days of the man above me, Mr. Polynikes setting everyone straight on what's true or not (or manly or not) about running.

Thought if everyone was smoking and drinking, We could not train as hard to make us more manly. Just my oppinion.

And it's a female opinion.

It's funny because I've only gotten grittier as I've gotten older. I often sport a black shirt with only white letters on it at the Gym that says "Shut up and Train." You can see it here in this photo with myself and a Heavyweight I sparred (and it sucked, I fully now understand why there's weight divisions in Boxing):



One of my co-workers recently got arrested and had to spend 2 nights in jail. He lied to our boss and told him he spent 4 nights in jail. He did this to have 2 extra days off he said because he "wasn't ready" to come back to work. I couldn't help but scold him after because one of the times I've been arrested I had to walk home the morning of my release, shower, change, and walk to work. I said something to the tune of:

"What did you need to convalesce over it? What kind of pussy shit is that? You were in jail, you got 2 good days of sleep and you needed a break from a break? If anything, going to jail doesn't make you a fragile moron, crying about it for two days after does."

This is a kid who also quit Boxing on his second day, though. So it's likely the information was lost. Toughness, determination, willingness to endure pain to attain one's goals. Without sufficient right-of-passage rituals in our modern society, and without sufficient mature males setting the example, we can look forward to countless generations of females with penises.

I just read this part. The man in the photo with me above, he's veteran Pro Cisse Salif. He looks at sparring with smaller guys as kind of a hazing he likes to do to see who has heart. That's why he called me into the ring with him. We went 6 of what he called "light" rounds, but he's 6'5" and 265lbs, there's only so "light" that fucker can ACTUALLY go.

Two of the middle rounds he spent only hitting me in the body, too, because he knew I'd use my legs to keep distance and my speed in punching. I've never ACTUALLY been hit in the guts with a wrecking ball, but now I have an idea what it feels like. Hitting him was fruitless, too. And anyone who has been in the ring can tell you, your worst fear comes true when you give someone all you've got, and they smile at you.

He had a lot of compliments for me, though, which made my head big for like a month. This is a guy who put a pretty good beating on David Tua:

[GlassJaw]

Cisse freaking LOOKS scary gigantic, let along how it must feel to take a left hook from him.

That's it, I'm gunna toughen up... no more milk in my grapenuts, I'm snorting um.

[King Kabuki]

The worst thing he did was clinch me, then hold and hit.

Fuck all that nonsense.
