STRENGTH ADDICTION

I rarely doubt there has been a time in my life that I have not thought about strength in one form or another. I never retarded the notion to that of only a physical display, but wanted to master the ideal in an emotional extent too. 

I grew up with larger than life figures that molded my perceptions of manhood and guided my dreams to the weight room. I have never turned back. I never was forced to do this. I chose this path because I wanted to be complete, inside and out.

TRAINING 101 #1 - Charles Poliquin

TEMPO! TEMPO! TEMPO! Part 1.

Drop the weight back to starting point and repeat again until you can no longer perform anymore Bicep curls – SORRY WHAT? 

TICKING ALL THE BOXES

BODY WEIGHT:              96kg / 211.6lb

Morne just opening up a can

BENCH:                          170kg / 374.8lb

DEEP SQUAT:                200kg / 440.9lb

DEADLIFT:                      240kg / 529.1lb

Those are some impressive stats, what's even more impressive is the fact that Morne is an all natural beast - and by natural, I mean that I've seen the guy take in maybe 1 or 2 protein shakes in the entire time that I've known him. I'm pretty sure, in his presence, your testosterone jumps.
