The ball's in your court, folks

OK people. After 2 years, I'm starting to run dry of ideas on how to reword the same exact message over and over again every week. The information that I present is a one-way feeding tube of my rants and jargon and realistically, it is not a productive way to stimulate discussion and ultimately the community that we are trying to create and preserve here on campus. Discussions have to come from both ends, visa vi. So we have a FORUM tab above now where you all can post things and discuss them and debate them and get involved to any degreee you like. Hopefully we have some good discussions. If not, you all can just wage anonymous war against each other.. That's always fun.

I'll keep writing things as they come to mind but I'd like to see more from you guys.

For now, check out Ricky Bruch. He died a year ago and I never got a chance to introduce him to you all. He is a Swedish discus thrower. Big deal, right? Well, the guy was one of the most charismatic athletes of his day. He was legit. His training and work ethic was unmatched. In the meantime, he was an actor and appeared in variuos TV shows and movies. I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching his training and throwing highlights, especially before heavy lifting sessions. It really helps to have humor when other people find your efforts meaningless, and that's what Ricky Bruch focussed on. He took his training seriously as a competitor but stayed on the lighter side of things.

Enjoy this video:
