The Trend is Dead

It gets pretty old, the new ideas, the gimmicks, the fads. Phil Anselmo said one time when Nirvana and the like were making headway into the metal world that, "The trend is dead", and he was right on. What passed for music then was short lived , trendy and soft, and the backlash was the proliferation of hardcore, deathmetal and black metal bands that blew the trendy B.S out of the music stratosphere. And it's the same with training. The bodyblades, the ladder drills, the p90x, the , the, the, the....what a waste of time. Im sorry, but put a bar on your back. Pick stuff up thats heavy. Press overhead. Leave the trends to the weak minded and weak willed who are looking for the easy way out. Stay strong and do what you know is right. As it is in everything in life, stick to the basics.
