Why I’ve been so quiet
ByOk as you know I used to update my blog pretty regularly with blog posts that were simultaneously meant to educate and entertain you while simultaneously giving you an idea of my personality, making you trust me by being honest whether or not it was popular opinion (especially if it isn’t popular opinion lol) and then all of a sudden my blog posts and youtube videos stopped coming out. The few that did were seemingly uninspired and I figured I’d let you know what’s going on because some of you have expressed concern for me which even though I may never have met you, it means a lot.
Well truth be told back in the period between September through now I had separated from my wife which was an extremely dark time for me. If you have been on my newsletter (hint you should sign up for my newsletter) then you might have noticed a I had recommended doing an incantation to yourself to get you through a dark time where you look at yourself in the mirror everyday and say “You are too strong and awesome to be defeated” and you repeat that until you are better. I won’t go into the details behind the split because I don’t think it would be fair to her family and they have always been good to me. Suffice it to say it was necessary.
I’m now divorced and loving it. When I used to live for her, now I sum up my marriage in 6 words “Whew that was a close one”. If there was one thing my ex wife was right about it is that I was literally built to be a bachelor. I have been officially back on the market since January 1st this year and dating isn’t exactly rough…when you are a strong, confident, ambitious, goal oriented guy that is proportioned like a Greek statue (fact!) and has a good heart and sense of humor. One thing I can tell you is that a while back I was curious about whether or not there was anything to the Adonis Effect. Oh it is real and it is spectacular
albeit you need to have the personality in place in order to get them to realize there is more to you then looking good without a shirt. I’ve also been studying some of the stuff put out by Mystery and Style because I believe that if you are going to do something you should do it right and you can do it right by studying the people that have done it before you and then absorbing what is useful and discarding that which is not.
So suffice it to say, “I’m back baby!”
and I’m back with a vengeance.
So now this blog is going to take a couple new directions rather then simply being about kettlebell training and general things with life. I’ll give advice on dating, body weight, strongman feats and a couple other things. Don’t think of me as a guru. Think of me as the Asian kid in class that you use to get the answers from rather then the teacher. I’ll be writing about my life, not in detail because some things are better left unsaid. I’ll just say that having the Adonis Effect is a cool thing
Anyways this blog post is to just tell you that I’m back.

Question: what’s your take on supplements? I take syntha – 6 ultra lean blah blah protein
I’ve been reading your blog and like the direction your life has gone, pretty cool. Your in great shape man. Props. I’m tryin to get there. Quick backstory on myself, graduate, 4 yrs college baseball, used to being well conditioned, 29, currently working in India(blows super mega dick) nothing to do here so i workout. I have a lifetime background of being an athlete and just being great at all sports. I can do just about anything. In the past i always workout for about 4-5 weeks and get satisfied with myself, then stop. Then not workout for 2-3 months and feel like shit. Then the cycle starts again. I’ve been in India for 3 months. Stats pre India: 6’1″. 189lbs. Now im down to 179. Been working out 4-5 times a week for the last 2.5 months. Goin pretty hard and eating decent. I’m in good shape but I feel like I keep doing the same things over and over, and I for some reason feel it just slowing down. I need that variation. I need that extra edge that’s gonna put me over the top. So I’ve done some research And I wanna try kettlebells. I wanna learn proper form and what’s best. You seem like you really got your shit together mentally and physically. What tips can you give a novice like myself about kettlebells? Sorry for the rant but just wanted you to know where I was coming from. Thanks for your time and keep blogging. It’s good. Just don’t become a douchebag. Just kidding man. Take care.

One thing I know for sure about dark times; the clouds eventually clear and the sun shines brightly.
You gave a good thought on how to keep on keepn’ on.
Best of auspices
