so you want to be a viking!?
In my eyes and train of thought, that requires a hostile mentality under the weight! Did Vikings have a set number of villages pillaged before they said, "ya know, we shall show mercy on this soul as it is one past our death quota?" Fk no! They conquered what lay in their path with no remorse!
When you step foot into whatever asylum you lift in, do it with no fucking structure! No remorse! There is no plan that leads to devastation! And devastation is what we must incur on ourselves to gain! Whether it be high rep light weight, low rep heavy weight, fk off with the set number of reps. You are lifting, not to get to a number and stop. To get to a point where you're forced to stop then acknowledge the number! Then best that number in the battles to come!
Lifting must cause mental and physical failure. If you aren't choking back tears of raw "hurt", why should your body react? Your body is by nature designed to survive. It will adapt to physical strain with the least possible physical manipulation. It will adapt to its environment. If you are going into the session with a predetermined routine of numbers restricting your actual potential, mentally you have already chopped the balls of the workout you had in store!
When you lift, wish for death! Death should be the only way out from the pain! Push yourself like a loved one is hanging by one arm over a pit of flames. Pleading for you to attempt that one last rep! Muscle failure is what you lift for. You are going to overtrain if its the last thing you ever fkng do in your quest to become the baddest being of yourself! Your off days are there to pamper your bleeding heart! On days are the time to reach psychotic realms of pure painful bliss, mixed with why the fk am I doing this, mixed with because I know no better but to break myself down to the core of my being! Lift like you just flipped the entire world off because it second guessed your entirety! Vikings skinned hides and placed beastly horns on top their head! Keep that mentality close to your brain when you lift goddammit!

This is what its all about right here!
I do not go to the gym............ #IT COMES TO ME! AND BEGS FOR MERCY THAT I DONT SMASH IT TO FKN PEICES IN A HELL BENT MINDSET THAT ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH!!!!.
Jesus hell Mrs Viking! Its obvious you absorb and exuberate your hubby's mentality! I'd toss weight with the likes of you both till the marrow in my bones boiled!
This is where my ancestors come from .. According to the DNA TEST I had done online.. The ancient Germanic warriors were strong, often rough around the edges and considered barbaric in attitude, fighting style and their dress by some,
I believe you carry and uphold your ancestry in proper form gym!
I am Scandinavian dominant DNA as well, but these ideals that the Vikings were simply barbarians are off base. They were actually kind of "Metro" for that era. They really took care to look good. They also liked to bath unlike the rest of Europe. They treated their women with much more respect and were hard working.
Scandinavian as well brother. Vikings were the epitome of brut. I use the folklore associated with them as a hardened mentality! Real men ie. beast's who adore their woman, which in turn, from their woman, become hostile driven to protect their woman, is the nature I aim to pull out of the men! Lift to prove you deserve to have something worth proving to...yourself and the persons that love you!
I get what you are saying and I agree they were fierce warriors but they were also intelligent and masters of the land and sea.
RustyhookerIm part of the germanic bezerkers. Pain holds no barriers. Been to the edge of the world and still going in for more. The real death is giving up in life. Torture is mental and in your own head. You're you're worst enemy and best friend. Get beyond the temporary and into the future. Theres only you and yourself. Bodybuilding is NOT a team event. There's no cheerleaders and bullshit pom poms. Its only you....and yourself. Anything other than that is a loss.
Fk yes! Lift in a trance like state! You obviously understand the gravity in "state of being" brother! Shake hands with the past and welcome the solitude of the sport! And by god and demons alike, it is a brutal sport once you've crossed the thresholds of reality tying you down. There is no reality. You carve your own reality!
