The Paleo Cult Cross Over
Early on this year I read an article in a journal that explained how excess consumption of carbohydrate makes you fat and can be the catalyst for a host of problems with health and the body in general. At this point I was getting more and more into health and fitness but I was only aware of the conventional wisdom, which of course vilifies saturated fat. Sure enough, I was baffled. I looked into...

Just want to live a life where I can afford and be appropriately dressed in suits and rad menswear all day every day.
An Anecdote of Australian Racism.
So I’m writing this today because it’s something that has been bugging me for a little while now. Before I get too far into it, I want to make sure that everyone understands a couple of things: I don’t pretend to be innocent in anyway, nor do I seek to condemn anyone. I’m just writing about my observations.
A little while ago, I was watching some morning television (the...

Dis Workout
Warm Up: Some stretchin/mobility
Strength:
5 x 5 Military Press (30, 30, 35, 35, 35)
5 x 5 Incline Bench (40, 45, 45, 45, 50) - Bitched on this exercise due to a bizarrely sore arm pit. Clearly some sort of issue with my form but I couldn’t seem to self correct it.
WOD: 10 Jump Pull Ups
10 Burpees
10 Squat Thrusters
5 rounds for time.
This was originally going to be 20 pull ups and...
PLEASE TAKE THESE HANDS!

I am sitting in a pool of my own sweat.
20 minute AMRAP
10 push ups 15 Squats 20 Leg Lifts
7 rounds + 10 push ups, 15 squats and 12 leg lifts.
Sad that I didn’t quite make it to 8 rounds, but the leg lifts were fucked. Was planning on going to the gym due to a rest day tomorrow, but we’ll see how we go. Might go later on tonight and just do a brief strength session.
Blah blah don't read this.
So I’ve been doing the big research on CrossFit and some other schools of though on fitness because I realised I just kind of accepted the indoctrination of CF without critical analysis first! How silly of me! To be honest, I’m glad I did, because there are some very valid criticisms of CF and it’s methodology. High-rep Olympic lifts for example can definitely be considered a...
Dis Workout
5 x 5 Deadlifts (50, 55, 60, 60, 60)
20 minute AMRAP
8 Thrusters (20… first time doing thrusters)
10 Push Ups
12 Bent Over Barbell Rows (35)
Did 6 rounds + 8 thrusters and 10 pushups.
This workout, though simple, has left me pretty tired. That’s the most bent over rows I’ve ever done - glad I opted for lighter weight.
I sux though. Keen to join a genuine crossfit gym so I...
Bleak dash, except for the titties and the babes.
Cheer up every one, tomorrow is a new day.

… felt shitty today.
3 x 5 Romanian Deadlift @ 65
3 x 5 Back Squats @ 55
5 x5 Bench Press @ 60
The RDL’s felt pretty shit. 65 is the heaviest I’ve done them and though I was happy to be be doing it, they felt somewhat constricted. My weighted squats continue to plague me, I just feel so gumby and no amount of tinkering seems to be having any effect - as a result, I’m...
How To Tumblr
Use the suffix “-ist” or “-ism” on fucking everything. Don’t even be scared about that shit, just make a fucking word up if you have to. Proceed to use this word as though its the fiercest insult you could ever level at someone.
See something you don’t agree with? Don’t construct a though out response. That’s for sissies. Reblog it like this:...

Wasn’t as tough as it should have been, because I bitched on the strength but it was hard enough.
5 x 5 Back Squats (40, 45, 50, 55, 55)
Squatting feels horrible at the moment. I just feel really uncoordinated, which is shitting me to tears because I know my legs are stronger than what my numbers reflect on squats.
5 x 5 Bench Press (40, 45, 50, 55, 55)
Benching was pretty easy. Not...

stateless-crusader:
Non human animals are a zero. They have no rights and nothing done to them is morally “wrong.” They are simply the property of human beings.
I can say this because I only value other sentient beings. Being limited to the human experience I can only determine other human…

Vegan v World debate really heating up on here.

Your Health.
Everyone is concerned about their health, right? Of course we are. And everyone on Tumblr is such a free-thinking radical that you think they would do their own research into what is and what isn’t healthy. Therein, you would think more people would have arrived at the conclusion by now that fat is not bad for you, that protein is not bad for you and that carbohydrates are not bad for you....
"Happy Holidays"
So an Australian school recently tried to implement the old “don’t say Merry Christmas, say Happy Holidays” policy in recent times. While I’m not particularly fond on this, I can completely understand why a public school would be inclined to do this. It was being covered on the breakfast TV show my mum always watches, but they were being so fucking idiotic I turned it off....
It took me nearly 9 months to put on 2 kilograms of muscle and it took me a grand total of 2 weeks to shed 4 kilograms of something, I can’t tell what after I hurt my cheek and lost the ability to chew stuff easily. That’s lame. Wish I went to the gym today instead of sitting around the whole time.
In other news, bailed on the doctor who was supposed to take out my stitches today...

Race, Riots, Repression, and the Social Role of the New Breed of Policing
The recent wave of “Occupy” protests in the United States has seen a backlash of forceful and often outright violent repression by the police, completely out of proportion to the overwhelmingly peaceful and harmless nature of the protests. If we are to examine the politics of the increasingly militarized...
