Thomas Edison es un Gilipollas. Segunda Parte …

Electricity is really just organized lightning-

Come to order!  Quite down now peeps!  Seriously, hush up so we can get down to business on this beautiful Thursday morning.

Our first order of business today is to recognize Sal from Mammoth Caves, Kentucky for recognizing the humor behind “Frogballs, Arkansas“.  The rest of you should be ashamed and while you’re at it … Put on your great shame faces for the rest of the morning.

The second order of business is to painstaking point out yet again that hipsters are taking over the world!  The Fairdale Dograck, peeps!?!  So apparently embarrassing the ever-living hell out of your little buddy is cool?  For our amusement will someone today try to formulate a solid argument as to why this pet rack is even needed?  We have a dude here at CultFit who uses an old Burley D’Lite Kid Kart for his bike to chauffeur Old Bailey around.  The kids have outgrown it, Bailey is getting old and wait for it … It’s damn comfortable!!!  Plus Bailey can bring a mate along while protecting the ice-cold beer!  Hipster bike pet rack:  This Dear Reader is the Sign of the Apocalypse!!!

Finally and we are dead nuts serious about this.  Rarely, if ever do we use this platform to twist your arm into action.  We’re all adults and you are free to do what you please.

Remember when we last spoke about this dashing, fine young man:

If not read up HERE.

Peeps, our dear friend The Oatmeal(<–Must Clicky!!!) is heading up a spirited effort to purchase the land where the Wardenclyffe Tower once stood.  There is no museum in the United States dedicated to Nikola Tesla and we need your help!!!

To help support and build a goddamn Tesla Museum please click here:  Operation Let’s Build …

To read The Oatmeal and his thoughts about this amazing project:  Help Me raise …

For what its worth: We put all of our kids tuition money into supporting this project!!!  Oh and Thomas Edison is a douche bag!

The Plan-

The Workout-

Rest Day … Some Self Reiki and Quiet Meditation.

This is why ‘Merica and in particular, Wyoming is the place to be to watch the  Perseid meteor shower.

Notes:

We are stoked at the thought of a Tesla Museum being built here in ‘Merica.  Any help you guys can toss in is much appreciated!  Even if its only sharing with a friend or getting this message out to a wider audience.  Any and all help is better than none at all!!!  Have a splendid day today peeps and ENJOY!!!


Frogballs, Arkansas …

I workout.  I hit the gym …  Yesterday I did ankles-

The decision is yours.  Either you can look at the witty, avant-garde photos with a chuckle and a smile?  Or, if you like you are free to hang around as we strip back a few layers for your viewing pleasure?!?

Day one peeps clearly understand we give only a few shakes of the proverbial lamb’s tail when it comes to site stats and dreadful stuff like that.  It’s not what drives us or motivates us; Past, present or future!  However we have been seeing quite a few emails and messages of late asking:  What is up with this nonsense over here at CultFit HQ, bro or brah (if you hail from Eugene, OR)?”  From what we gather from our ongoing conversations with these fine folk is that peeps are really tiring of the Extreme, ELITE, Kranked and Cardio Barre Burn fitness fads (Ja Ja Ja).

These words will read as highbrow and superior.  Conveying tone in a blog-o-post can be arduous to say the least … We stand before you humble and laid bare.

One of the driving forces if not the only principle for CultFit is Karma Yoga.   Quite simply, Karma Yoga is the gentle practice of giving back to the communities of which you are a part.  CultFit has two parts:  What you see here before you and if you ever get up off your un-motivated butt?  Our offline, more intimate version.  In our most pure form we embrace Seva, selfless service.  Seva is an act of kindness and generosity that neither demands, nor expects, reciprocation.

Now this is where old Uncle Mo gets all pissy about the Money Grab and Look at Me ELITE individuals of the world (Those in the Know -Know whom we speak of) … Not today, we promise!

One of the great hall marks of our generation is that, more times than not we only take and not give back.  A friend recently defined the Law of Karma as to say: You get what you give.”  We implore you (along with us) to give back to those around you!  We are not talking about writing a post about your new shoes, heart rate monitor or What You Ate for Wednesday (Damn, that’s today … Oops!).  Hypothetically speaking it would be refreshing NOT to read and hear about peeps:  Volunteering at a local food kitchen, Donating time after work to mentor young kiddos, Helping an elderly neighbor …

If you would like to learn more about what we offer off of the inter-webz or if you would like to share ideas about giving back?  Contact us at:  cultfit@gmail.com

Now back to our regularly scheduled program:

Slowly we will purge the Justin Bieber’s of the musical world …

The Plan-

The Workout-

One example of giving back to your community:

The hover-moms thought a merry-go-round was way too dangerous?  Coconut water has never looked so glorious spilling from someones mouth as when they saw this apparatus above!!!

Not For Time …

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Thick Grip Barbell Curls and Perfect Push Ups (Feet up Peeps) Followed by:

Take the number of stops you make this morning going to work (Stop sign, street light etc) x 10 and this will determine how many Hard Style KB Swings you perform later tonight!

Notes:

So what does all this mean?  If from here on out, each and every time you open the “CultFit has published a new post” email on your precious iPad?  Think of this:  We as individuals may not get what we give.  Although in giving, we keep this whole darn world thing running.  Be well today and ENJOY!!!


How Will We Ever Move On …

Narcissus is the glory of his race:  For who does nothing with a better grace-

Over this past weekend we sat down and had a nice free flowing chat amongst some old friends.  One topic that came up that we would like to share with you is:  You teach what you need to learn.  Let this thought sit in for a bit as you get ready to rush off to your mid day extreme fitness class …

Oh and to the peeps lamenting, crying about Olympic withdraw?  The REAL Olympics start soon!

The Plan-

There are countless boring and over opinionated blog-o-posts offering dreadful London Olympic recaps and what not today.  Here’s ours:

Top Tip:  If you missed any of the BBC coverage of the Summer Games because you were taking photos of yourself and Pinning things?  BBC FULL COVERAGE(Replay)

You only have until January peeps so hop to it already!?!

The Workout-

From our “No Time to Waste” series of programs:

As a Warm Up: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Light Turkish Get Ups (Graceful, Flowing, Find Perfection) Followed By:

Pick something heavy up around you and proceed to Heart Beat Walk for 100 pumps … Lets do this 4-5 times?!?

Notes:

The world will still go on dear reader.  Time to quit living vicariously as though you are an Olympic athlete or something?!?  Have fun today and ENJOY!!!


You Brought A Gun To A Knife Fight …

You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word-

Rumor on the street is that the kids of today love this stuff:

The Plan-

Well um … We’ll just leave this here (Way to take home the Bronze Boys!!!):

While we are causing women to faint worldwide this morning.  Say hello to Chilean gymnast Tomas Gonzalez:

The Workout-

Inspired recently from the Slap Upside the Old Noggin series of programs here at CultFit HQ:

Be Advised:  You can do this program inside, it can be done.  However … Lego’s, Matchbox Cars, Bottle Caps (Beer) hurt under your hands performing Handstand walks!  Grass is our friend here peeps!  Soft, plush green grass.  FYI- Its located outside!!!

Not For time

Nice quick flowing Warm Up followed by:

Handstand Walk for 10 meters (Sprint back to the start – where you left a heavy KB …)

10 Heavy Hard Style KB Swings

Skill work or whatever its called is complete rubbish.  Life is a skill that we are all too happy to avoid during the day.  Like all of our programs, having fun and enjoying ourselves is paramount!  If you can’t perform a Handstand?  Or even walk a straight line on two feet?  Who the hell cares?  We don’t – That’s who!  Forward Rolls, Crab Walk, Cart Wheels, You Name It … All work here today peeps.  Skill Work … Open the car door for your lady friend sometime?!?  That’s a pretty damn useful Skill to work on don’t you agree???

Notes:

If only life were this easy?!?  Have fun today and ENJOY!!!


That Was Me – I Did This …

Randy, you know, when I want advice on cheeseburgers or not wearing a shirt, you’re the person I’ll come to-

Now that you have  prepared for any challenge in your way.  You can’t wait to go out and prove yourself to the world!

Today you are making history!!! Today is a day for the ages.  What you achieve today is a story you’ll tell your kids and grand kiddo’s over and over (nauseously) just so see their eyes widen when you say, “That was me!  I did this!

Take a moment to think of all the great first moments in sports history: The very first Olympics.  Tom Brady’s first touchdown pass, Your first pair of $125.00 Lululemon yoga pants and Tim Tebow running shirtless in the rain.  What you achieve today will be right there, the pinnacle of all of these great moments.

Completely off topic.  Here is our solution to the empty seat(s) mess at the London Summer Olympics:

The Plan-

Just wait for it … Chad Le Clo’s Father, Burt Le Clo?!?  Let’s just say he’s welcome over anytime!!!

**Apologies for the video and audio quality.  We had cut back on our production budget.**

The Workout-

Our Warm Up is the exact opposite of what you did yesterday.  Dial the intensity knob down to about three and simply have fun.  Followed by:

Not for time …

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Perfect Ring Dips (no hurry today.  Play around and see what works best for you.)

Notes:

Put yourself out there today and achieve something great!  Have fun and ENJOY!!!
