Awesome post.
I go to th gym and enjoy being different to 90% of the idiots in there. I relish the weird looks whilst Im doing snatch grip high pulls or people that wonder why i seem to 'always be doing legs'...
There are not many of use around that train and that suits me fine, if people want to work out and go to the gym, give 50%, get nowhere, but feel good about themselves for going thats fine. Personally Id rather give blood, sweat and tears, rip up my hands and shins and crawl out of the gym on my knees, puking on the way.
My training may not be classed as normal, it may not be sane, but I love it that way and when its not like that anymore than it will time to hang up my tatty old joggers and retire my 11 year old adidas campus.
Until then I plan on
SHFW for as long as I can
