AITank: Fitness Explained

First of all let me extend my best wishes to fellow contributor Chris aka Dr.Swoll, in his endeavor to complete the MS 150. It truly is worthy cause and your support is indeed very valuable to fund multiple sclerosis research. I started thinking about what it would take to complete 180 miles in the Texas hill country and one thing stood out above all the other things I could think about and that is having a strong mind.

There comes a point when all of us think we can not go anymore. Another step would kill us, turn of the pedal drain what little energy we have left, rep under the weight of a barbell. Well the truth is, you are thinking you can’t so how the hell could you possibly expect go any farther? No matter what you are doing, this point is what many of us like to call the wall.

Time stops, its a surreal moment actually, and you are given a choice. I mean this very literally — your body actually asks your mind if it wants it to go further even though it may hurt, even though our bodies think we are spent and have nothing left to give. Those of us with the courage to take the harder path will say no, I want you to keep on going; whatever happens after that I will deal with when the dust has settled.

I mean it is true isn’t it?

I’m riding in the MS150 next weekend, it’s a 180 mile bike ride from Houston to Austin. The goal is to raise $14 million to help people with multiple sclerosis, a disease that causes muscle weakness and leads to difficulty moving, as well as numerous other symptoms like loss of vision and chronic pain. If you’d like to help in the fight against this disease, please visit the link below and donate. Any amount is appreciated:

Awesome exercise, try it! I love how he says, “How many repetitions should you do? Probably 5-6. I do 30.” What a badass. Here’s another angle so you can see his entire body in the view:
