Died at the age of 69. Here folks, is one of if not the most iconic and respected names in the iron game. He didn't get there, by taking the beaten path. Like BP itself, he found his own way - to Gainsville.

Take note of how he lived his life:

Brilliant. Loved that write up.

... shooting up mayonnaise dam that's hardcore... surprised he made it to 69...

...Sometimes deep in the night, sometimes in the morning. Sometimes several times a day, sometimes not at all. I never repeat myself. Only I understand what is right for me. I have never had a coach. I know my own possibilities bestly. No coach knows them. Coaches grow old and they have old ideas...

That pretty much sums up the essence of intuitive training...
mindful training vs protocol training...

It seems to me that some of the talented athletes lack one thing-- they haven't had an injury. That's right! An injury that will put them out of commission for a year during which time they'll have a chance to weigh everything. I, too, would not be where I am if I had not injured my back. I suffered for a year and a half thinking everything over ... After a misfortune, people pull through and become, if possible, great people -- and sportsmen, in particular. Those who are stronger find their way out and to the top ...

imo, a challenge and even the "suffering" is required but 'The Injury' isn't really necessary. What's really necessary is realizing and really practicing one is either in prehab of in rehab. He didn't say it directly but it looks like he got it ... one cannot really push limits when in rehab...

just some reactions...

May he RI the way he would want to rest... maybe lifting in heaven's weightroom...
