I thought I’d write something like this out because I’m going to say a lot of shit here that people reading won’t understand, which is understandable given they don’t know me or my style. I am a guy that is after one thing: The pursuit of absolute strength. By this I mean I want to add weight to the bar in the three movements, which are currently considered powerlifting movements, the Squat, the Bench Press, and the Deadlift. You might, in reading my posts, find that I am pretty hostile and intolerant toward what I call “pansy-ass” types of activity. This type of activity can be anything, but is usually immediately detectable and is usually done under the misguidance of things like “accessory” moves and “assistance”. Well, this is my site, and I say fuck all of that. It is my philosophy that if you want to get better at doing something then you practice doing that thing, and you practice as often as possible. I never understood nor did I never see benefit in literally beating around the bush. In any case, these are the principles upon which I plant my feet. And now you have some background as you read articles in the center for brute strength. That name was not chosen arbitrarily. We’re not here to entertain the ramblings cross-fit weirdos, or talk about cleaning your snatch or jerking. This is a powerlifting arena. Chalk up. And put on your thick skin cause I don’t give a shit about how anyone feels about it.
