In Our Imagination The Wild Is A Beautiful Place

What would it be like to live in the jungle? Surrounded by a beautiful forest, come and go as you please, no worries on predators and able to thrive without effort. You get to transform into any animal you wish and play as you develop the great attributes that makes animals be in incredible shape: Strength, Endurance, Stamina, Flexibility, Balance, Coordination and developing Power in the Tendons & Ligaments. You have no enemies and you live in harmony. Pretty cool huh?

When I play the Animal Dice Game, I picture in my mind that I'm at my strongest and most conditioned. Always prepared and know by memory which animal to do and transform into that animal, even for a few seconds. The game is always different, the list is the same but it's never in the same order twice and the body is always on alert as it moves in awkward positions. When I play this game, I feel right at home, I get to live out a fantasy in action and get to move in unusual ways as opposed to regular calisthenics.

It becomes a meditation that dives in much deeper than just sitting and letting the mind go blank. Although I know i'm in a garage or a hotel room or out in a field in real time when I play, I do go into a place in my mind and pretend I'm there than where I actually am. Being able to crouch like a Tiger, crawl like a crab, waddle like a duck and walk/run like a bear to me brings out a whole other level of mind setting than doing hundreds of push-ups, squats and/or lifting. I have done literally thousands upon thousands of reps/steps with animal movement and it doesn't seem to get boring, once i'm in a groove, I go into a trance-like state and just keep going.

The only time I even remotely feel human is when I need to break away from breathing a little too hard but unlike a human, I don't sit or walk around like a zombie, I take out my ropeless jump rope and skip to not only keep up my stamina but stay alert and aware of what I'm doing. When my breath has better control, I put down the rope and get back to rolling the dice and moving. Today alone I did 885 Reps/Steps of Animal Movement and skipped the rope only twice, three times if you count the warm up and it felt incredible. I felt high as a kite and was feeling very happy and grateful. From meditation to joint loosening to doing deck of cards workouts, I've never felt as high or happy than when I do animal moves.

It's not just about fitness or testing the limits of my endurance, it's about enjoying what you do while you work hard and constantly using your brain and your limbs. Moving like a wild animal is by no means easy and it can be difficult to learn for some people, but once you're able to handle the movements and can go for a good 20 minutes or more, you're in for the ride of your life and there's constant room for improvement. No movement will ever be perfect and just like Disneyland, you're never going to be done and there will always be something to build on.

Legs Feed The Wolf

This title is a quote made by Kurt Russell who played Coach Herb Brooks in the incredible film Miracle that is based on the 1980 U.S Hockey Team and how they overcame the unbeatable Russians. Although talent is a great asset, Brooks however took an approach that made the definition of a winner and has been used by all kinds of athletes and coaches and that was the value of CONDITIONING. 

The scene that tackles what Coach Brooks wanted out of his team was a punishment these young studs needed to learn. A few of them played a game and were distracted by a few blondes and brunettes in the stands and the coach took notice. Got them onto the ice after the game, exhausted and ready to sleep off the rest of the night, were told to run wind sprints. This drill was one of the most hated yet effective methods in their arsenal and they learned the hard way of what it's like to be pushed to the absolute limit. 

In most cases, conditioning is what defines a person's abilities whether on the court, the ice, the mat or on the field. You can have amazing talent, technique and charisma like Hulk Hogan but if you get winded before anything ends or just after it even starts, everything goes out the window. Lombardi would say "Fatigue makes cowards of us all" and even Karl Gotch would say things like "The most expensive car won't run without gas, oil and water." Being in top condition can be the true testament to how you apply yourself in your sport or even in a fight.

What this quote in particular means is that in order for the strongest wolf packs to survive, they need to be aware, be able to endure long distances and have strength even in the most crucial situations so they can eat and live to fight another day. If the wolf isn't in condition, it will starve and potentially die quicker. What does this mean for us humans? Beyond just sports, we need strong legs and legs that can go the distance for certain types of labor, able to move in our jobs that require  a lot of walking and at times endure heavy moving of furniture and climbing. 

As we age, one of the first areas of the body to lose it's abilities are the legs. Bad knees, weak ankles, injury prone quads and the joints surrounding the hips and groin. I've always understood the value of having long term strength in my legs since I was in my early 20's and I treasure every moment that i'm able to do things that can be beneficial to others and not get blown up. When you train both the muscles and the joints and ligaments with great intention, you have a recipe for developing powerful legs. In our society when it comes to fitness it's all about muscles, muscles and muscles and not enough focus on strengthening the very things that keep us together. Having a pulled muscle heals much faster than a broken bone or torn ligaments and if you do the research, there are more injuries to the tendons than anything else in the body.

One workout I did recently that would condition the legs to a great degree is taking a deck of cards and doing Hindu Squats & Step Ups. Although I prefer animal movements, this workout not only kicked my ass but made me appreciate and respect more on how the legs are so critical to the human body. Made the red cards Step Ups & the black cards Hindu Squats I managed to get through the entire deck but if I started to feel like I was breathing too hard and take a little break I would skip with my ropeless jump rope until my breath was under control and I can go again. This was such a great workout that I didn't feel sore the next day and my knees felt amazing. This had a combination of going down one movement and moving up with another, working the quads and calves in a different format. The total came out to 225 Hindu Squats & 450 Step Ups. 

Having strong muscles is one thing but strong tendons and ligaments will help you reduce injuries and be able to keep going. Some of the most conditioned athletes such as Ed Strangler Lewis, Herschel Walker, Rickey Henderson, Jarmoir Jagr & John Havlicek had legs that made them legendary in their sport and had stamina that stood above the rest in their sport and that helped them go on to hall of fame careers. 

Like the Wolf, condition your legs in the best ways possible and as you get older, keep them maintained so you can prevent possible injuries and/or having replacements in your hips and knees. It is a sure fire to live a quality life when you can still go no matter what your age. 

    

The Cult In Physical Culture

Ever since the world was introduced to Pumping Iron, fitness became a phenomenon much larger than ever before. Long before that film turned people on going to the gym, fitness was more geared towards bodybuilders that had more of a closed circuit with a following and mail-order courses were the norm with the most famous being Charles Atlas' Dynamic Tension. There were gyms around the country but nowhere near the quantity it is today.

If you wanted to get fit, you either learned by word of mouth where to find a gym or you found a course in various ads throughout countless magazines and you learned the ins and outs of lifting weights or doing calisthenics in school or through sports training. Gym training for all intents and purposes was geared towards bodybuilding, Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting and Some sports training. There was a time when sports coaches banned their athletes from lifting weights because they thought they had slowed them down. It turns out that wasn't always the case. 

Back to what this topic is really about. As far back as anyone that ever wrote anything on fitness, somehow, there would be some kind of following. An extreme variation of this is some authors would make claims and instead of trying to help people get fit, it would be more like a snake-oil salesman and put ideas in people's heads that they're method is the very best and nothing else will give you what that method gave. It's marketing and prying on a demographic, that's all it really was and not all courses were that bad and had great success along with people who lived their lives for the better.

When fitness goes to the level of becoming more like a cult in some circles, that's where certain tend to become sketchy. Dynamic Tension was overall very successful and promoted great ideas for fitness, nutrition and what a boy can learn to become more of a man, it worked. The pros did outweigh more than the cons but it's not a course to turn someone superhuman and like a bible thumper, many people thought of it as such. When you treat a course beyond what it is and not think for yourself, you can get caught in a trap.

Here's another example, Alois P. Swoboda's course on Conscience Evolution & Fitness Course. Back before there was Maxick, Charles Atlas and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Swoboda developed a course for exercises purely as a means for living a healthy life without needing weights or other apparatus and focused solely on tension exercises and various calisthenics. Some of the claims he made up were way out there and for all intents and purposes, he was a quack and hard to tell what was truly believable. The people he said that did his course was a list of politicians, lumberjacks, athletes and even Harry Houdini and Charles Atlas which I'll admit is reaching it. He was what you would call a cult leader and claimed nothing came close and his method was the end-all be all. Even at the point where he claimed limbs would grown back, talk about messed up.

This was the norm for many physical culturists back in the day and quite a few were far more famous than others because look at the times back then; there was no internet, no cell phones, no way to truly prove what the best was and many claims never seemed to be real to believe yet many flocked and never had a second thought. It's scary sometimes how people are more like sheep than human.

Many of these courses worked and people changed their lives for the better, some weren't always so lucky and no matter how much they followed it to the T, they either got hurt or didn't understand what they were doing and just went with it without thinking for themselves. Like a typical cult, you want to believe everything a leader tells you, you become one-dimensional and you no longer focus on your individuality, you want to escape to something and if there's any hint of realistic approaches, it becomes painful to bare. Other Physical Culturists or those that claimed to be, pried on people's emotions and self doubt asking them general questions but coming at them with an iron fist while they put a smile on as they do it.

My friend John Peterson is another example of a Physical Culturist that has been known to go off the deep end a time or two and not realize he is drowning. His heart is in the right place and I've learned a lot from him, some good and some pretty damn bad. He does get a bad rap about what he does or claims but without question, he is a fanatic about exercise especially on refurbishing Dynamic Tension in 21st Century Society. His style of training changes quite often, he'll talk about high volume calisthenics one day, weight vest training the next or recently on Isometrics. He has had a bad few years and won't go into detail what those really were and some he has talked to me about were extremely dark but he has delayed his "latest" course so many times, the number is more than the books I've read over my lifetime. I loved his work on Pushing Yourself To Power and has one of the best books on Isometrics out there (even though it's a carbon copy of 7 Seconds To A Perfect Body) but his followers treated it as a one dimensional thing and acted like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, bullshit, they were stuck in their own head and barely had a good physique to show for it.

Fitness courses in a nutshell, are nothing more than suggestions and ideas that doesn't really have anything new and takes bits and pieces of past courses and molded into a method or series of methods that reflect today's society. Don't misunderstand me, I love promoting various people and I love their work and had the pleasure of experiencing the very best but no single course that has ever been written is the GOAT. You can take the very best of what you learned and mold it to your individual goals or ideas that suit your needs. To be the very fittest you can be, you can't rely on one method unless it is all you can do and your body has extreme limitations, stick to the basics, find what suits you and what interests you. Not everybody is going to do crossfit or strongman and not everyone is going to get fit through MMA style conditioning, it's just not going to happen. Pick what interests you the most and adjust your goals to get the most out of your fitness.

Follow your own path, not strictly from a fitness manual.

Stationary Movements Have Become More Boring Than Result Producing

When I do have the chance to do calisthenics or work with cables or a wheel, I only do enough to where I feel good and I'm not stressing over things but lately around 90% of the time, my mindset is not in that mode of doing calisthenics anymore. Most who are into bodyweight training, get into that mindset and have a better will to improve on them. For me, regardless of the workout, I get bored really fast and not because i'm out of shape or anything, I've done hundreds of push-ups, thousands of squats, tons of sit-ups, step-ups, pull ups and others and quite frankly, it doesn't feel appealing to me anymore.

People who throw certain calisthenics or stationary movements down your throat and say they're the best of all fitness isn't true in the overall general sense. Bodyweight exercises do work, there's no question about it and can produce off the chain results if you do them right, but if your mind and body aren't there, no matter how good you can do them, won't bring the results you truly crave. As far as i'm concerned, if you're in one spot for an entire workout, you might as well as be in prison. That's what it feels like most of the time these days. I love to move around, feel free and go wherever I please, you can't really do that with typical calisthenics.

This is merely my observation for myself, as an individual, it is critical to understand what you want out of your workouts, stock up as much knowledge as you can and practice what suits you the best. As for everyone else, feel free to explore whatever brings you the best out of yourself. The only stationary exercises that keep me interested is Isometrics and maybe my Ropeless Jump Rope.

I use to love doing push-ups, squats and various circuits of bodyweight exercises and every once in a blue moon, if I have an itch I do them but Animal Movements to me are the GOAT when it comes to exercise period. I may not do 100 Push-ups in a row and I'm not going to do 500 Squats everyday but get me in a bear crawl or move around like an ape and you will no one happier than me. My mood is day and night when it comes to animals and calisthenics.

I'm nearing 15 years of doing exercise every single day and that's a long ass time for most people and changes have been made, things go away, some come back, others are a new experience but the most consistent form of conditioning and fitness for me has been Animal Movements. Literally 10's of thousands of animal reps/steps and I never grow bored from it, I can't say the same with other bodyweight exercises. At 35, I've experienced so much in the world of Physical Culture and when it comes to fitness over my whole life, I've been doing it for nearly 22 years. I'm still no expert on anything but I feel blessed with the knowledge I have accumulated and learned what works and what doesn't.

This isn't about trashing calisthenics or saying they're useless because they're not and should be practiced with intent and understanding how they work and experiencing some tough workouts from them but their place isn't 100% with me anymore like they use to be. They're a phase and they'll come and go. Continue to learn and develop your own evolution in your fitness journey because we are all unique and not looked at needing to be the same or worship a method like it's a cult. You have your own journey, with your knowledge, you can create anything you set your mind to. If your heart is into something, go after it with passion and fire in your soul, if you don't have the heart for it, don't do it cause it'll just bring heartache.
