I have always looked at surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding in this way. It led to working as an snowboard instructor for five years in my late teens and 20's. It inspires me now at 35 to get in the water, it keeps me going to the skatepark. Being in a spartan gym for me is all about adventure. Lifting crazy stuff, getting dirty and injured, having fun, thats what training like this has always been for me, just plain old adventure with like minded people. wow, I have never thought about it this way.

The training is like a metaphor for life.The times when you feel like blowing out the workout, but don't, often give the best results/workouts and make you glad you stuck with it. The effort you put in will reward you with a quality of life that many of your friends dont appreciate. You don't look at things thinking I wish I could, you DO.That includes spending time and participating in activities with your kids. It teaches you how lucky you are to have the physical abilities you have and to enjoy them and the responsibilty you have to look after that structve that is your body. It teaches you to look at those with geniune physical disabilities and see that their efforts are sometimes superhuman in comparison to ours and that we don't often have the right to complain! Live well, train hard, do right, always. The training is who and what I am.

If everyone actually could see their passion and then go after; the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, most people only think about their passions and never go after them.

I had the same set up in my basement I was in the 6th grade ane it was a super wobbly Sears bench with plastic sand weights and these gnarly weights my dad made at work!! they were just basically 1" thick piece of steal that were 50 and 25 pounds. They drilled a whole in them to put the bar through. Then they had all these little dimples all over them from hitting the plates with drill press till they got the weight right!! My dad gave me this full body work out and I had to do 10x10 before I could go up in weight on a movement!! I taped it up on the furnace pipes and I spent all the time down there I could after school down there churning away at those weights. NO plan just move the weight sometimes 7 days a week LOL!!! The best part was I never even though about the outward benefits!! one day me and some friends were out playing in the rain drilling each other with mud balls and my buddys like "Minney you got muscles everywhere you been lifting weights" I got super emabarassed and responded hesitently "No......I mean maybe a little bit."

Not many people get it. It's not about big muscles. It's an innate connection with our soul. For me, it's a spiritual connection with God as well. We express ourselves with movement and we connect with our families and people around us when we are connected to the motion and strength that's inside us. Sounds deep but it is. Again, training is not superficial, for looks. No it's a connection with the soul. ...one of your best posts. Thanks Z. Chris www.themaximusmovement.com www.jointreplacementworkouts.com Zach,

I LOVE it. I hope everyone watched the video or Laird, and notice how he blends life with the most peaceful things, even though much of them are aggressive and pushing the limits of life, we can do the same through training, and we SHOULD do the same. This means high intensity training. Heavy weights Training in unknown territory and uncommon areas with different methods Train on the sand, in the woods, outdoors, indoors, extreme temperatures: high heat & humidity and frigid weather of snow and rain. It is only when you push the envelope and exceed previous boundaries that you learn to live life in a better manner, b/c you have escaped during your training, yet still become one with it. Training is life bruddahs. Let's spread the word. Let everyone know that we're THE Soul Liftin' Tribe... and no other Mother F***ers are gonna take that away from us! Peace! --Z-- Gentlemen – awesome comments and thoughts, the wisdom we got rolling here is powerful and amazing!
