Forge Philosophy 5-5-08

May 5, 2008 by jeff.

“You would fain be victor at the Olympic games, you say. Yes, but weigh the conditions, weigh the consequences; then and then only, lay to your hand-if it be for your profit. You must live by rule, submit to diet, abstain from dainty meats, exercise your body perforce at stated hours, in heat or in cold; drink no cold water, nor, it may be, wine. In a word, you must surrender yourself wholly to your trainer, as though to a physician.”
- Epictetus, (c.A.D. 50-c.A.D. 138)

Today, victims at the Forge celebrated “cinco de suffer” which consisted of 55 cal row, 55 overhead lunges with 55lbs, 55 cal row, 55 presses with 55 lbs, 55 cal row, and 55 jump squats with 55lbs.

In hindsight, I should’ve called this cinco de suckfest.
