ChAos and PAIN on Vedic Hindu Diets
I can't
believe I am sharing a post by Jamie Lewis. Jamie Lewis, the founder
of Chaos and Pain, always polarizes his readers. You're either going to love
his writing or you're going to find his writing masochistic and misogynistic. I
think he appeals to a younger audience who likes being told they're worthless
sacks of cow dung first thing in the morning. His writing involves extreme
violence like "You have to grab life by the throat and fuck it into
submission because anything less is undignified."
The only
reason why I am sharing these links is because this is about Strength Training
in Indian culture. We don't study Indian culture in school and whatever we
study is watered down nonsense. So, the original harappa civilizations, indus
valley, etc were all pretty active in the strength training field and a some of
what they practiced in the past has evolved its way into how we train today.
What I find interesting is stuff related to diet, nutrition, being vegetarian
(they were not), training lifestyle and their spiritual connection to training.
Obviously
they did not have barbells and equipment like we do today and
"maximal" strength training was NOT the goal (it is VERY important to
keep this in mind if you are like me all about lifting heavy weight), but this
stuff is an interesting read. Keep in mind that I have warned you about his
writing style and when I read this work originally; it was in a kindle format
and I did not see pictures. This is NSFW all the way.
