Mars is the steel shears which trims the rose of Venus

Not all things go according to plan. Sometimes when the best laid plans, for whatever reason, fall through and life circumstances must adjust. When plans fail, new tactics must be engineered. When the rose of your life grows out of it's natural course, even if you believe it is correct; sometimes, the cruel but fair hand of Mars will make alterations leaving you feeling cross and injured, but your rose might just benefit from the cuts and trimmings and your life will fall back into your truest aspirations. Beauty is after all, suffering.
When this happens it is important NEVER to forget who you are.... it is easy to do so. Some plans of mine changed, jobs I thought i had, I learned I didn't. So what do I do? I adjust. I never forget that what I am doing will be worth the suffering I endure (which is DIFFERENT from the elitist/qillopthian(evil) mind set that the ends/means are worth the suffering they will make OTHERS endure). I realize that I might have to work graveyards AND I might have to take on a second job to get ahead and build up a nest egg. I must keep in mind... this is temporary. My biological clock is NOT going to accommodate a heavy training schedule chasing down on the strength goals I have set for myself.
I call upon the steel shears of Mars to cut away what I don't need right now and keep ONLY what is the most esstential exercise(s) I need to focus on while I march into my new life.
I am impressed at what was left and in fact in some ways might actually benefit me more if that was ALL I am going to work on.... in a temporary sense.
Mars discriminates, takes all that is holding you back and leaves you with what you NEED to move forward. Venus's beauty is found in the clarification of this discrimination, but reveling who you really are underneath all you think you need.
I am left with this... but after I hit it hard... that is all I could handle.
-One handed cleans and press with 40kg Kettlebell as many as I can do in 30 minutes... currently 100... new goal 105
-11/8 Ivanko Super gripper 8/2... goal 10 in a row
-Hard style wrist roller 10lbs.... 4... goal of 30.

Reforging and Repairing the chain.

Image
I have been through some life-altering adjustments in the last couple of weeks. Lord Mars laid waste to my old life. With a mighty stroke of his spear, he sent me to crawl off and assess my wounds. In hindsight, I intuitively knew it was coming. I knew I required more room to grow than my current situation could afford me. My progress had become stifled. Sons of Mars must always march on. There is only ever forward for us. Without progress, we enter stagnation, and that is death.  A single painful act of compassion, and I was freed. Freedom has a sweetness the weak will never know. The power of Mars has done its work. I am faced again with the lesson of how to carefully select the pieces worth picking up and soldier on. There is nothing left to do but repair.  There is no difference between the physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional bodies. None. Damage to one is damage to all. Healing for one is healing for all. Survival is no longer good enough. My mission is to thrive....

The lesson of the Woodpecker and 3/28/11 training

Is it hard to believe that the Woodpecker is sacred to the Roman God Mars? What about this bird would be so holy to Father Mars? Mars is a grand deity of strength, aggression, and war. Mars is about fucking and fighting: however, long before Mars was the bronze, iron and steel, he was a fierce God of the wild and the virility of life. Mars is seen in the will to fight and survive in seedling struggling to break free from the frozen ground to bask and drink deeply the golden ale of the Sun’s rays. Yes, Mars is the sweeping and caustic change that war brings, the destruction by heavy weapons and the trampling force of a legion of marching boots. But, and maybe even moreso, Mar is the persistent force, the constant “pecking” away, the continual wear and tear, the slow break down that goes unnoticed over long durations of time. We see the lighting of Mars strike down the strong Oak and we marvel at the force behind that wicked line of energy; however, the tree did not fall to one mighty st...

Monstrous Strength: The Kraken, An advanced arm, grip & back-centric strength training program in preparation for upper body violence! By Kevin Wikse

Image
Today (5/21/2024), I stumbled upon a wondrous pearl from the depths of my early writing (2010)—a sunken treasure swallowed by the vast ocean of Google Documents. "Monstrous Strength" is a 10-volume series of body-targeted and function-specific strength training programs inspired by fearsome monsters of myth and legend. Written during a time when I was actively pursuing an MMA career and training to be a Circus Strongman, I believed these volumes were forever lost. However, it seems the Fates have conspired to unleash these mythic beasts upon the world once more. Here is an excerpt from my soon-to-be-released Kraken program: --- The original date of writing is 7/9/2010. **Kraken Strength Training Program** Few creatures stir the unconscious mind like the Kraken. This massive, mysterious beast rises from unfathomable depths, feeding on whatever it finds, leaving destruction in its wake. Alien in nature, the Kraken emerges from our darkest dreams only to return to those unexplo...
