As a result, I'm putting the Cavern of Creatures Gym on hold as I pursue a degree in civil engineering and actually look for a fucking job. Also, I've come to the realization that Olympic lifting is hard as shit and I would prefer to invest my time elsewhere. As a result, I'm making some changes to my physical training approach.
First of all, it has to be said that working in engineering by itself isn't all that physically demanding. However, working in construction as a whole does require a decent amount of physical ability outside of the basics of being able to walk and stand on your feet for hours at a time. As a result, I've chosen to run the Becoming A Horse series of programs from Sika Strength. I used Sika Strength for my weightlifting training, and I trust their methods and programs as being the best in the world (no exaggeration). The Becoming a Horse series of programs still involves some weightlifting, but also more bodybuilding work, pressing, and deadlifting, which aligns itself more with my goals. This means I strength train 4x a week.
I will continue to practice martial arts 3x per week, as I always have. Not that martial arts are particularly useful for my job, but just because I think they are a valuable addition to any man's life. It's part of the sigma alpha male grindset bro
On top of this, I want to try bouldering. Mainly because I think it looks cool (isn't that why we do anything?), but also because I think it will be a unique challenge for a fatty like me. I've always been weak with vertical pulls (pullups and such), so hopefully this helps.
So, in total, I'll likely be training 5x per week, with 2 hours of total training per day. This level of training is probably the upper limit for someone with a full time, physical job. We'll see how it goes.
