There is a mindset you should have here at Fatal. It is the difference between us and other functional, athletic fitness sites...the similarities are in the workout, the difference is in the attitude and the heart. To me, Fatal Fitness is definitely not about your body fat % or your waistline. Fatal Fitness is about throwing away the gayness of spending 3 hours on your chest and embracing total body fitness and functional strength...ignoring your perceived weaknesses and limitation and finding & recreating your new limits. For me, my body leaving a small pool of sweat on the floor coupled with having to puke showed that I was pushing my body in ways I hadn't in a long time (It also gave me a glimpse at my own fitness level cause although I puked, I still only came in at over 50 minutes). I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you walk away from your DC and you're not limping from muscle fatigue and needing a gatorade because you're about to pass out -- you could have pushed harder...keep pushing your limits.

While, you will find ways to improve general health and wellness here, this isn't your mom's fitness routine where you're going to get some desitin on your ass and people will tell you its ok. Fuck that, stop making excuses and get your ass on it. If you won't push yourself, I have a website you can go to where everyone will give you a hug and tell you it's ok to quit and to keep your chin up. Reaper has said it before, stop posting about workouts you didn't do or wouldn't do. No one gives a shit if you didn't do a DC because there was too much sand in the pool, keep the reasons why you pussied out to yourself and let us know when you man up and give it a go (that example being an excuse *I* gave, btw).

One more thing - DO THE DAMN DEATH CERTIFICATES! Make a freakin effort to just do it! If you don't even try, there are plenty of fitness boards to go where you can chat about all the kegels you did that day.

The "Fatal" in Fatal Fitness shouldn't be looked at as a gimmick (like spelling extreme X-TREME), it should be seen as the death of your old self, the death of your old limitations, and the death of all misconceptions that come along with what people say you could or could not do and simply say, "To Hell With Genetics." What will your old self's Death Certificate say?

 

 

Fatal Fitness was created because I wanted workouts that were challenging, unorthodox, and unique. I wanted something akin to the kind of guy who would kick you in the teeth for looking at him the wrong way. I wanted each workout to be something to conquer, something that made me want to
die, something that made me victorious upon completion.
Something elite.

It seems no matter what you do there is always someone throwing in that odious disclaimer, "genetics also has a lot to do with it." I hear this so often it almost seems as though I should just give up hope of ever doing anything cool. Because of genetics, I can never be a model, Olympian, or hip-hop artist. Because my parents are both clumsy, small-framed, illness-riddled people, I can never dunk a basketball or climb a mountain.
