They asked me what I was reading – and laughed when I told them Batman. Probably thought to themselves, “Oh, he’s a graphic novel lover.” And I am – but not for why they think. Instead I’m modeling.
I’m never going to be rich like Bruce Wayne, but it’s the archetype that I’m tapping into. It’s no different than studying Greek mythology to understand fundamental human behaviour we all have inside of us. I’m a martial artist – whereby the martial arts has affected the way I live my life. Reading Batman allows me to tap into a world where being better than human is possible – and that means I can try to bridge that gap in my own mind. One thing is very clear to me: whether Bruce is real or not, he trained his ass off in the martial arts in order to do what he’s able to do. While he’s got all the gadgets in the world, hard work and time spent in the arts are the two things that really come out when he’s fighting. And that’s something I can aspire to.
Read comics. Be better than human.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Rest Day … It’s the perfect night to go for a Brisk Walk with the little ones!

Today’s Sign of the Apocalypse: Storm Blaster
What are we looking to achieve through this “thing” called life anyways? Have you ever stopped to think about the phrase: I’m trying to get through life by any means possible? The problem is that we spend every ounce of spare energy we have kicking, kipping, running and forcing our bodies through the day.
“Woke up late, Rushed to make it in the shower, Traffic is a nightmare and the tank is on empty, I’ll run at lunch, Damn that frigging deadline was today … Screw lunch! I’ll run and workout before bed”
Want to know what’s crazy, truly insane when you step back and look from a different perspective? We honestly feel that the hardest “thing” we will do in life is some random marathon, CrossFit, Bootcamp, P90x or even a romp in the mud. Everyday life peeps is a marathon (or whatever else), one deadline after the other. One hardship after another, one triumph and struggle after another … Finally we end the day with a sprint to the finish line (SLEEP!). Our lives are such a myopically focused race, for what? Each and everyday goes by in a rush. When others view us they see a blur, a streak rushing past to the finish line …
There’s no “Participant” medal at the end of this Finish Line … Digest this thought over your tea today.
The Plan-
The Workout-
