Super Strength Made Simple
Pumping iron, performing endless calisthenics, washing it all down with caloric dense protein shakes currently used by many aspiring folks looking to gain muscle to impress the opposite sex and to look good in front of a mirror. Wait, there’s something terribly wrong. That’s it? Just to win public approval? No, this is not the way of the real men of old! People today miss the point of exercise. Its love, its play, not desperately trying to appease somebody or your brainwashed head.
Fortunately these are some who are after real raw strength, but they overlook an important factor. Strongmen of old didn’t develop their ability by mindlessly lifting weights or the conventional methods people do today. Work, that’s who it was obtained. Men back then had real rough jobs. Everyday was toughening them up for he brutal conditioning they were in. Slamming down with heavy hammers built cable like steel arms. Working on the railroad all the live long day forged incredible strength for workers. Shoveling, digging, and planting on the farm gave farmers crushing grip strength. Climbing trees, running from place to place gave villagers super conditioning. People really worked in the old days and their bodies adapted. Now the only exercise modern man gets is pushing a keyboard or texting on a cell phone. Even artists were strong too! The Sistine chapel wasn’t easy to paint.
Lifestyles of people back then were different too. Life was much simpler and people were happy. They ate better, slept better, and didn’t concern themselves with all the other the stressors we create ourselves today. Examine the old time strongmen and how they lived. Their feats of strength still cannot be matched even to this day with all the steroid junkies. So what do you do to be like them? Not that complicated, do your yard work, help an old lady shovel her snow, volunteer to do labor, build construction projects, sculpt, pull the weeds for the neighborhood, help a farmer, or get a job driving an autoriksha.
Naturally this won’t appeal to you so use your head. Create exercises that mimic such activity. Flipping tires, hammering objects, playing catch with sandbags, pushing wheel barrels loaded with weights, swimming, hiking, jumping on a trampoline, things that prepare you for real world crises.
Great strongmen of the old performed feats of stength that would send today's steroid generation running for cover. Feats like bending steel, breaking chains, pulling trains, to withstanding fatal blows. Jack Lalanne used to swim in shark infested water while being shackled and being tied to over 70 boats. Carles Atlas went from 98lb zero to the most perfectly developed man, capabele of pulling a 120 ton train, handstand pushups, and having steel bars bent on his nose! Monks today are able to withstand spear attacks, extreme temperature, and conditions, how? Truth is the power is within us, we just need to cultivate it. Frail mothers have lifted cars to save their chidren. Average folks have done incredible things in crisis situations not by choice, but by need. You seed the power comes when in need not from desire. The spiritual development meditations in Alaje's videos will help you build internal power and wisdom.
When you generate enough spiritual energy, you gain access to a wide variety of powers. Quick super strength can be obtained by using the same methods gymnasts use. By the way gymnastics goes way back and the "gods" did them too so maybe you should consider it. What an instructor does with a newbie student lacking bulk and strength, is he has him practice calisthenics frequently throughout the day while staying fresh. Amazing this slaps on muscle effortlessly and faster than you'd think. Take the pushup. If you can do 10 reps on a particular pushup, do 1-5 reps throughout the day. Say you do 5, then an hour later 3, later 1, 2, 3, etc. Key is to pick a challening exercise and do many sets with low reps 1-5 while never going anywhere near failure. Even though you can do more, stay conservative so you can perform many sets.
Harnessing internal power is different. Relax your body and breathe deeply and slow. Notice all the sensations. Really feel the energy come in with each breath. Now just relax and listen to your body. Focus on your lower abdomen about 2 inches below the navel in the middle of your body. You may feel heat, tingling, or some other sensation. This is energy. Now you can direct it anywhere you wish. Start with putting it in your hands. You'll know its there when you feel the enegy in your hands. Anything can b e done with energy. All you have to do now is build it up. Work on it when you wish, but don't over due it. It can drain you if your not careful and you may suffer severe consequences if you over exert yourself too much. You can do whatever you wish with it, the only limit is your imagination. Experiment, see what happens. Good Luck!
