Not a bad thing...

This serves as more proof that strength training for children, when done in a carefully regimented and safe manner is a good thing. If you notice in the video, most of the training done by this 6 year old is with body weight and gymnastic in nature. This is the type of stuff I plan on doing with my children. If only more parents in America today would help their kids in this way, we would not have the epidemic of childhood obesity that currently plagues our society.

Take the time to watch this video and be reminded of the importance of practicing and guarding your second amendment rights. The right to be free and safe.

Roiders Running from Regulators

Did you ever think you would see a bodybuilder ripped, yoked, and whatever other adjective you might choose, running from someone? Well apparently in Belgium the entire lineup of competitors fled when drug testers showed up.

You can read about the incident here and here. This just goes to show that eventually your actions catch up with you both ethically and physically. Do you want to look like this 20 years down the line?

The moral of this story? Don't roid it. Just be natural, be fit, and live your live for God's glory not your own, cause when you live for yourself, ultimately you will fall.

Thinking Tactical: Cover your options

I received this great article today from The Tactical Wire. It is a free e-zine that is only sent to you if you request it. It is a great resource for anyone in the law enforcement community or just for the average Joe who wants to know how to better protect himself and his own. In the most recent publication, Tiger McKee discusses being prepared for the unexpected in an armed confrontation or any type of conflict. His points are good to consider. Have you thought through the different possible responses if someone were to forcefully and maliciously enter your home? How would you react?

A few days ago, this young man reacted and was able to save the lives of ten friends. Read more about it here and here.

With this story of a few days ago in mind, read Tiger McKee's article from the May 7 edition and post your thoughts to comments.

The Real Problem With GMO Farming

Check out the following link to see yet another reason why we should be fighting the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (H.R. 875).

Yet another problem of this bill is that it will give further control to the already onerous Monsanto Corp. For those who don't know, Monsanto is basically a near monopoly company in the world of agriculture which uses bully tactics to keep farmers across our country and around the world from being able to store and plant their own seeds.

I personally know someone that has worked for this company and he himself attested to their bullying tactics. As Natural News explains, the real problem with this is that these genetically modified crops are experiencing failure.

Is that the type of agricultural practice we should rely on? Again, see my previous blog post on H.R. 875 to learn how you can contact your elected officials to voice your protest to the bill.

Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009

Well, we are facing some of the most intrusive government action in our country's history. It now appears that our federal government believes we are incompetent to raise our own produce or livestock and that they need to restrict our freedom to do so. No, I'm not joking. What I am talking about is very real. I am speaking about House Bill 875 (H.R. 875), and Senate Bill 510 (S.510).

These are effectively bills in the House and Senate of our national congress that would render private farms, organic farms, small family run dairies, and possibly even your own garden at home illegal. Think I am joking?





No joke, the federal government in another knee jerk reaction, is trying to take away more of our freedoms. You can also read about it here and if you want to read the actual bill summaries yourself they can be found here and here.

So what can you do? Contact your House representative and our two illustrious Senators, Feinstein and Boxer, and voice your dissent regarding this bill. Know that if enough people voice their opinions regarding this bill, they will listen. While you are at it, also tell them to stay away from our gun rights as well. But hey, I will save that for another time...

Anybody wanna do this?

So I periodically like to post sick workouts that intrigue me due to their fiendish nature. These are the workouts you think about doing when you are just a little too high on yourself after a great workout. Things like the "Burpee Mile," or Farmer carrying 1.5 pood Kettlebells for a 1.5 miles uphill. Yeah that kind of stuff.

Well, I think maybe this summer I will actually get crazy and do something like that. Good times.
