Hi everybody! I’m not new to T-Nation, but I rarely post. I just want to stress the importance of GPP in everydaylife, giving you the exemple of what happened to me today.
I was in my sister’s house, doing some garden work, when I sudden heard her shouting, because some thiefs where in. I run upstair, knocked a door down, jump off a window, climbed a gate and run after the two guys. I had an axe in my hand (I was cutting some wood), and I managed to get one of them after a good 400m sprint. He tried to escape, so I had to submit him till the police arrived. Cops later caught the other one.
I’ve found out later that they are in their early 20’s, and I’m 34…
What is the point of telling you all this? Whatever your training goal is (PL, BB, looking good when naked), never forget to get (and stay) in good GPP: there is a life out of the weightroom, and we’ve better be ready to face anything…

Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn’t it be simpler to just WALK over to the gate from where you were (allegedly the garden) and climb it rather than run upstairs only to jump back down from a window?

You must be REALLY bored to analyze this post, TD.
Since I don’t see this thread going anywhere, I will leave a random chic-pic.

It is bad to run with scissors, but jumping out a window with an axe is fine. Especially if there is something you can hit the axe with on the way down to do a super sweet slow down your fall maneuver. AWESOME!~!!!

That thought seriously did cross my mind while reading that.
Or maybe a sweet tuck and roll, recover on to one knee and chunk the axe at one of the guys hitting him in mid stride, all the while you hold the same position as when you first tossed the axe. Hellza sweet!!1!
I’m going to move to Italy so I can go to small local chocolate shops and specialty meat stores and wield an ax and get into scrapes with burglars and submit them in the street.
