We can never have enough Pauline Nordin in this thread
Here’s why (taken from her webpage - www.paulinefitness.com)
"Pauline Nordin’s Approach
Little do I care about what is scientifically proven to be the best way to work out, to eat, to sleep, to feel, to be. When I meet up at the beach with the rising sun as my only companion I make myself run, run and run until my heart tells me to slow down. Then I ask my heart ‘would you stop if the one you love was dying and you had to run for his life?’ I then keep on running, my lungs feel like exploding, I’m on a high.
Every day I go to the gym I’m there to outperform myself. I cannot let myself have doubts. What I ask from my body my body gives back. It doesn’t know the word no because I don’t recognize the word no when I’m training.
There are no too heavy weights, I just need to keep on trying to lift them. I put my fear aside and get into machine-mode. It’s just weights, they won’t kill me, they are easy if I want them to be. My muscles and joints cannot see them, they are all blind, so I promise them they can take the load because there is no other way.
Every time I give myself an ultimatum: If I really want to succeed I must lift it, perform the reps I have set up for myself to complete. No way I will give in, I don’t like failure. I’m here to win.
I do one-reps or two-reps because I love to lift loaded barbells and heavy dumbbells. I don’t care the science says you don’t build the most muscle mass that way. I do what I love. I don’t need a set schedule, a perfect plan or to count sets. I don’t need to feel the burn or isolate any muscle group. Even though I knew it would lead to a better physique I wouldn’t change my approach since I have a passion for what I do and how I do it.
I do deadlifts because they mean power to me. I don’t listen to those who believe it makes your waist thick. That’s bullshit to me.
When I squat I get veins popping out of my forehead and I know I’m not beautiful at that time. Could I care less? I’m not there to be beautiful. To me, if I did think about how I look when working out, it would mean I worked out like a sizzy. I’m only concerned with beating my personal best and to show the weights they don’t scare me."
ahhhhh…Pauline…

Irish, I love the picture of the true Rocky. I used to watch old Rocky films with a close friend’s dad, he had a dozen or more Rocky fights on 8mm film. Rocky was tough as nails and could hit like a mule.

I’ve yet to see it.

If thats what happens in the “ladies only” section, then I’m going to have to start crossdressing.

There a picture I’ve seen, actually I believe it’s someone’s avatar on this site, of a man chiseling himself from a stone block. I can’t seem to find a copy of it, but I thought it said a lot.
I found this from the P.I. archives. I like it, too.[/quote]
