I am tentatively announcing my retirement from training others. It is not set in stone yet but it is getting closer.

If I retire I will hold either a crazy seminar or write a drug-fueled e-book as my swan song. I have several topics on which I can freestyle long-form rants at this point.

Fuck this industry.

Peace niggers.

Um, me and Shaf? Yes, I knew of your intentions, T, but I thought maybe I could get you to postpone for a while.

There is some good peeps. But 99% is absolutely stupefying trash, including at the highest/respected levels.

And most of the clients in anyone's gym are pure insipid faggots who any sane person would be better off not knowing.

There is very little that would keep me around at this point. I just need to square something away 100% and I am really close right now to spending my days lifting and moving trees for a decently high salary (i.e., my perfect job).

I am anticipating my book being something like Fear and Loathing meets Never Let Go by way of libelous Anthony Roberts BS with a very pro-bodybuilding/powerlifting/anti-weightlifting slant and controversial advice on the best ways for kids and ladies to use drugs. If that won't be the final nail in my training business coffin then WTF.

Look for me in the trees my niggas!

By lift trees you aren't talking about being a drug mule are you?

That'd be cool and pay well but there's really no health care or retirement.

We are talking legit landscaping trees here. Not drug slang.

I would be using both my own throw-trees-around-strength and heavy equipment presumably (though I am rusty with most of it at this point).

I have one very real possibility to run all of Chicago (my past area in that industry) and a second possibly shady offer from a supervillain-esque multi-millionaire who's cousins are like my brothers and owns the company I used to work for. Not sure what exactly he is hatching but he said he has some possibilities for me.

It would take a job at the USOC, API or with an NCAA program or private program giving me near 100% control to keep me around. Or just some idiot paying me a ludicrous amount of guaranteed cash to keep training. And then I think I would still dream of just being a lumberjack.

If I do a seminar I would invite Shaf and Gin Master to present on topics as well (anyone else will need to submit to me what topic they intend to speak on). I already have a man who pitched in 2 World Series and has over 100 wins in MLB set up to present on why everyone currently training baseball youth athletes is a fucking know-nothing faggot. That's aces IMO.

I will furnish a preliminary list of topics tomorrow or something.

It is intuitively obvious to the casual observer that "Olympic Powerlifters" do Oly lifts with wide box squat like stances, lots of upper body forward tilt, tribal tats, and a light beard.
This just in: Rezazadeh signed with Inzer. He will be going for the world record snatch while wearing the Leviathan.

Bwahaha!!

Damn right. I can't wait to see the pictures of you overhead squatting the trees, doing HSPU on the trees, etc.

That reminds me that someone will need to present on why "gymnastics training" is PURE GHEY for adults who are not competitive gymnasts.

Sommner should be available.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I watched it. And I tried to step back and see if it made any sense. Nope, it really doesn't.

His reason for programming front squats? Because they require flexibility and they expose weaknesses in form. Yup, that's his reason for putting the front squat triples on the 2nd day of the "cycle." Pure genius.

Good luck T. It's amazing how good decent pay, little bullshit, and steady work can make you feel.

I like how Barky's calves are at least 1" bigger than Bboi's, and it's all muscle.
