Not under any means to suggest you are required to be /fit oriented in this thread, but currently I'll post some fit related things.
I've been working out hard, probably the most focused I've tried in my life. I've been to the gym a fair amount, done heavy lifting and my frame supports a certain kind of lifting. I'd been wanting to get into the gym, and I started 4 months back, after a somewhat easy hiatus of just running or pushups, It was nice at first but I got bored of lifting weights, I have no big fiizeek goals because after not being a teenager you kinda learn whats realistic and whats not, and I'm perfectly happy with my current musculature.
What I realized tho was that something was missing from my life, some spirit of competitiveness, something, fun and fresh. And it suddenly hit me, Id been wanting to try rowing for a long while, so why not now?

But the slow boards are so damn slow that no one comes

Today, I had a real breakthrough. I'll be honest, I stayed up all night talking, and I realized Ill be late for my morning workout, and I got a text from the gym too that the usual route is blocked, and early morning gym is closed, opening late. So I decided, we'll row in the evening, and today dear lord, I tried to properly dig my feet in and holy shit

Nice, Ive heard about this one, the cover is william blakes painting.

I felt such an explosive power from my legs that I was feeling awkward for how much I was moving at the machine, it's like I was digging my fucking heels in, almost trying to move the Row Erg back, and Im pretty sure it did scoot a teeny bit, I'll secure it properly but today was really good, I realized what form mistake I had been making, and that I was stupid enough to not utilize my legs at all for the row erg.
The goal now is to keep training, keep pushing, keep developing the aerobic base and lower body power. Im feeling very excited, I'll positively sleep early tonight however, it feels like shit to stay up late

the book deals with a lot of topics, the major being that, there are two views of history, one which sees history as an accident, and another that sees history as a conspiracy. this dude seems to believe that the history has been a conspiracy and not an accident. he then goes on to show how a lot of people and a lot of organizations and a lot of events (WW1, WW2, great depression, french revolution, russian revolution, etc etc) were interconnected to a central conspiracy. take it all with a bunch of salt of course, I mean this shit is way out there. but it is entertaining, this level of imagination.
Is this considered political??
Manu joseph has extraordinary way to show the readers how a society is. Sometimes u think he is messiah of the poor by being their voice and other times he shows why rich people do what they do.
Behind all that I feel like he is just a observer he was only there to observe, he has no reason to provide a helping hand nor to oppress a poor.
He was and is just a observer.
Too deep for this chappal forum??

what do you do in your life? if you dont mind me asking, what are you like as a person, in the sense of course, what you read and think and write and how that affects your life, or just whatever overall
>>40815
The author is actually a fiction writer.
This is his first non fiction book.
I don't know how u feel about books but once i read a book i don't think i deserve to read it again. Not in a bad way. Just if I read the magic will be gone. But this book made me want to again read his books.
Making me want to read serious men again.
>>40824
I agree, reading a book again doesnt seem to serve me all that well, hardly ever.
>>40827
Dont worry, no need to share info if ur not comfortable, I was just curious what kind of a person reads this sort of a book, not in a derogatory way at all.
