I can't quit now..
Okay, here it is..I am sorry..no, you know what, scratch that - I AM NOT SORRY!
Okay! I made it all this way because who I am, I have achieved all these things in my life not because I did ''just enough'', or because I listened to others when they told me I could not make it!
Maybe it is because I am stubborn, maybe it is because I don't know, maybe because I am naive - well I don't care - I can't quit now!
I tried to workout today and trust me it hurt, it was painful - but I can't quit!
I know was I suppose to wait til Monday, but I can't, I can't not work - I will not stop working!
I will find a way, I will find a way to do what I love to do - it is not about building muscles it's about making a statement - I can't quit now!
I spend every waking second of my life loving this, I've sacrificed so much in order to get where I am!
People ask me why I do the thing I do, If I am not tired, why don't I take a day off - I simple tell them, we're in this world to achieve greatness and it's up to you to find out how great you want to be!
I never wanted to be good, I don't want to be average - I want to be great and I intend to do that - I will find a way!
I been through a childhood where discrimination and bullying was happening, every day all the time - and I don't want to show them wrong, I want to show to myself that I was right and I want to show every child that's ever been discriminated I want to show every child that's been through hell that they can find a way to make it even if no one sees it for them!
I might be down, I might be in pain, but giving up now, after all of this - would be even more painful, I will find a way!
For 10 days now I will be eating these pills in order for my elbows and my arms to heal in order to be back, but until they are better - I will find a way to work somehow!
Being ordinary was never an option, I can't allow myself to be ordinary I can't let a wound stop me!
So go out and be great, it is on you now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NwyXwn72kc
I can't quit now..

You have to lock me out!
It finally happend!
It took me about 4 and a halv months but my body finally decided to stop working, well at least 90% of it, it is either inflamed or just stiff..and you might ask me ''Well David, that means that you still have 10% left to give, why aren't you using those?'' or..
''Really, you used 90% of your strength - how did you messure that?
I got 2 reall fast answers for you..
First question: 10% is used to wipe my ass after been at the little boys room..
Second question: It was easy...I made it up!
No, but jokes aside, my feet, my shoulders, both my elbows and my left knee is at the moment hurting like God knows what and It feels impossible for me to run any kind of drills without picturing myself that I will be in a huge amount of pain.
So I talked to my second coach ( That's right Samuel, I already got you replace - so much for our so called relationship) whom gave me a few awful suggestions what to do in order to get well, get this, she wants me to ..re..reee...res.....rest!!?
I know, can you believe her? I was also told not to go to the gym for about 1 week and just sleep and eat - can you believe this - some people just wants to watch the world burn I guess..
Sadly this is not something that I will be able to do, since my perception is kind of fudged up. But in order to accomplish this I turned to Samuel and asked him to lock away my Gym card so I wont have access to the gym for about 1 week. I mean even this morning when I woke up my body and my mind both were kind of fighting with each other, while my head said ''you can do it'' my body keept fighting ''FU, just go back to bed'' - I know this sounds weird to many of you - trust me It's pretty strange for me as well, anywhozies - I ended up going to the gym...and I ended up hurting myself even more - so that is why I asked Samuel to take my card in order to make it impossible for me to workout, because I can not, not do it by myself.
So for now - until Tuesday, I will (try to) NOT to exercises!
But this will not be any reason to rest and just sit home watching Cartoons - hell to the no, this is a huge chance for me to pick up some other work and start arranging stuff, looking up prices for the hotels, flights and what not during my trip there so I am still working towards the whole ''Project Olympus'' path!
This type of pain has been going on for a while which makes it pretty sad that I have to chill for a while - but even so I've been progressing well. During these last 2 weeks I've done some good personal best and been progressing - the exercises has been heavier but not as hasty, so that counts for something!
Anyway, I know this was a stupid long post and cheers if you made it all the way here! I wish you all the very best and to keep fighting, don't give up even tho it hurts..you know, if you haven't reached the limit that you can't wipe your own ass! Work hard!

My second home!
So, as you guys know Samuel has been my personal Coach during these last 4 months since I started this Olympus project..but he has been much more then just a coach.
I told him 4 months ago when I started talking about this project that I will only accept him teaching me if he promised not to let me quit and in return I promised him that I would listen to him - let's just say that he was the only one keeping that promise (sorry Coach). When I've been at my, at least what I thought was, last rep he pushed me beyond my limits, quitting -is not an option!
We've had our differences as any other couple has..
..I mean..you know, ''Coachtostudentorwhateveryouwanttocallit...''.
Also, in my past I've been living in a world where my perception of a ''gym'' was just a place you went to, to do your shit..and that's it...
Little did I know that by the time Samuel was through coaching me, I was going to get something much more then just a friend pushing one other to reach a goal, he also gave me a place where I can call: ''My second home''.
This is my personal feeling of course, you guys at the gym might only see me as some short guy who looks like a God knows what while he is sitting there on his bike with his computer in his hoodie.
I know that I am not the strongest, neither the most talanted person there, many of you who's been watching me at the gym might not even like me - but despite your opinion of me, I am thankful that I asked Samuel to coach me, because he introduced me to you all.
But as happy as all of this makes me feel, hearing from Samuel that he has to step down coaching me in order to focus on his on training and career, makes me a bit sad, but of course I respect this decision (you better sleep with one eye open Samuel, because I know where you live!). I just thought that I should take this opportunity to thank him for all the help! I wish you all the best in your future progress, and for anyone who needs advice about how to train or how to eat - ask Samuel!
He really shows that what's written on a piece of paper doesn't matter, but with passion for what you love to do will work as good (if not better) as any other document that says ''that you're suitable to Coach''.
I highly recommend you all to check out his personal journey and follow his progress at - ''balronx'' at Instagram.

Challenge yourself!
First of all, Happy New Year you all! I hope that you had a great one with friends, fireworks and lots and lots of ...let's say water (or alcohol, if you're into that).
For me, the 29th and the 30th of December was really, really good.
As you know I made a goal to myself to lift 100reps Deadlift in 15 minuites before the end of 2013, well I did not only succeed but I pushed it, not only down til 15 from 22 minuites, but I made it in 8min!
I also had a long day with full of personal best and great progress which was a great end of the year.
Last night my gym was closed due to the New Year celebration (between 7pm and 5am) so I told myself that I was going to be the first one going to the gym of the new year - sadly what I did not expect was that I was going to get in to bed at 03.30 and my alarm was set on 04.30, so when it went off - well let's just say I was sleepy..
But hey! I've gone to far and sacrificed to much to give up now! If I start backing down now, giving up on these smaller goals and if I take the easy route..then I am never going to be able to reach what I truly wants, right?
So I went there and it felt great, after the hour on the bike, I went back home, got some rest, I had a nice lunch and then off for the second workout (due to my cold, it was not as hardcore and as breathtaking as my others, but I still did what I was suppose to do)!
Since it's not about the time you spend at the gym but WHAT YOU ARE DOING that counts. Just like whatever you're doing, you know - you could be spending 5 hours studying, but what have you actually learned during these 5 hours?
So anyway, this is the start of a great year full of life changing moments to come and I do hope that you're challenging yourself and pushing yourself harder then what you've done before!
Work hard and I will see you all soon!

Legacy!
So, something that I've learned is that you will go through life, you know, and regardless how your life turns out, you are going to look at the people that you've encountered - on Youtube, face to face or wherever you might meet them, and all of those people are going to effect you in a way that you like or dislike, some will motivate you and some will hurt you..
No matter who those people are - they will effect you and you're going to effect them, now, in what way that will be - it's all on you!
So what you do now, regardless if think that it will matter or not, your actions will be the thing that people will look at and that is how you will be remembered!
Now being loved by others and being loved by yourself are two different things and as you know from my past updates - I am all for loving yourself!
I am not talking about kissing ass, neither to be a jerk but by motivating them to follow their dreams by taking command over your own life and fight for what you want even if you succeed or not - that is the legacy that I want to pass down.
You need to ask yourself: ''why can't I do it?'' Perhaps someone told you that you can't sing..then who died and gave them the right to say that? You want to dance - who told you that you can't?
WHO GAVE THEM RIGHT TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN NOT DO?
You put the limits on yourself because of things that people have said and done towards you in your past which is not fair or you might seen someone who is ''better then you'', and they are only better because some people say so.
Because these ''speciall people'' they left a legacy after themself saying ''that it is possible''. But how does people succeed with things no one else has ever done before? You think they listened to when people said ''No one has ever done it before so it is impossible?''!
No, they succeed because they have something worth fighting for and ever if others can see it they will (as you should) see it for themself and when they finally succeed or fail, without knowing it - they have automatically left a legacy and a vision for others to follow! So if they fail, was it all a big misstake - of course not, because the knowledge and experience of one dream could help you reach something new and even better, but you will never know that unless you try!
Leave your legacy, leave a part of yourself for the people around you and let them speak of your actions in honor of love and respect!
I hope that you all have had a great Christmas and a great end of 2013 and I hope to see you all again for the upcoming year! Let's all work hard towards new goals, leave a strong legacy to always be remembered
and honored!
Christmas is of course no time for slacking, I still did a good...3 trips to the gym yesterday and it ended with a new personal best in one of the exercises for my back and I also got all the extra claories that I added during the holidays..totally worth it tho and the cardio workouts lasted for 1 hour this time (y)!

Some days I want to quit..
..and just be normal for a bit..
That's is sadly how I've been feeling lately , during these last days the only thing that I've done..you know besides workingout is that I've been eating and eating and eating and eating...
And it's all good, I mean, even tho I want to look fit and all - my body and my mind is just wrecked and in order to get my strength back and be able to do all of this training that I want to do - is that I need to eat so I don't mind that AT ALL, specially during Christmas which is my ''naughty time'', that means coffee, hot chocolate and saffran buns..oh those amazing, perfect 8shaped, Gods gift to humanity...I just love their..oh, crap, I am getting of topic..
I think that a major reason why I feel like shit is because my feet still feel the way that it does, but despite that I am still doing my daily 45 minutes (as you know I changed it from my 1 hour daily to 45 minutes and lowered the weight to 20 kilos, that's what I have to do due to my condition) so I had to change my type of training.
Also depending if my feet allows it, I've sometimes skipped the daily 45 minutes because of the legs working the day before since they put alot of preasure under my feet which hurts alot.
I know that I speak of ''No Excuses'' policy which I think that I've shown pretty well that I stand by, by now. Even tho it hurts alot and even tho I've been tired I still went hard - I even went beyond hard all the way til ''if you walk more you might not be able to walk ever again in the future'' - hard.
I mean, what If I would have rested when I was tired and then got better and knowing that I could have pushed more and I didn't because I was afraid, you can NOT let the fear of failure stand in your way...even tho shit like this might happend - YOU HAVE TRY!
Nope, I am still going but the type of training will vary since during Christmas my Coach has decided to take some time off to spend with family and friends and loved once...I know, what a loser..
No no no, I am only joking, of course he should and I am doing that as well, family time during the holiday are important and even if you're family is small or big, even if you're missing someone dear this year, just remember to give some of the love that you have left to the once that you care about!
One extra ''I love you'' or one extra hug to someone that you care about could mean the world, so if you are struggeling even if you have a hard time getting along with people, but those difference aside and if you have to have negative thoughts and feelings towards some people or someone - do so after Christmas!
Aiight, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and I know this is the time of the year when you're ''suppose'' to rest, just get up 2 hours then what you're suppose to and just hit the gym or read that chapter or send that e.mail that you should so that you're always pushing yourself and you will be one step closer of reaching your goal!

Something of value!
I will start todays update by stating how I will divide it:
Progress
Injudry
Fixed
Next goal
Few words to keep in mind..
..Enjoy!
So I know that I've not been that great with the updates these past days.
Due to alot of work and other stuff and also I feel like I've been posting way to much about my ''Mt. Olympus'' and it might be more fun seing something else except my body covering you page..(Heck, I don't know, maybe not), but anyway, as I promised ...15th of December, so this is what's been going down!
Since I am working to increase my stamina and endurance and not to get heavy and build muscles, so the numbers that I am about to give you now, might not be that impressive, but I worked hard for those and I am darn proud of myself - so shut up!
These are my results after 4 months of practicing and it's what I manage to do on 3 sets with the 6-12 reps.
The numbers that I also give you will wary depending on the type of aim that I have for that specific week, note that not all the numbers of exercises are for lifting ''heavy'', faster they may also be depending on if I swap between two exercises (which is called a ''super-set'') or a ''drop-set'' (which is when you start on a heavy weight and slowly drop down to an easy one).
I am giving you this so that except all my filter/photshop pictures that you can actually believe me when I am telling you that I am improving!
Progress
Weight: Then Now
61kilos 66kilos (72, before I shave)
Shoulders: Then Now
Shoulderpress: 10kilos/hand - 25kilos/hand 3set
Reverse shoulderpress: 5kilos/hand - 15kilos/hand 3 sets
Chest: Then Now
Benchpress; 40kilos 60 kilos 3 sets
Incline Benchpress: 40kilos 50kilos 3 sets
Legs: Then Now
Legpress: 60kilos 150kilos 3 sets and a drop set.
Legcurl: 30kilos 100kilos 3 sets and a drop set.
Back: Then Now
Deadlift: 40kilos 130kilos 3 set, 3 reps/set.
Lats: 35 kilos 60kilos 3 set and a drop set.
About the deadlift 100reps on 15 minuites before new years, I still intend to do so, and I am working hard to reach it!
These are the main exercises that I do for each group of muscles, keep in mind that the only reasons I don't include arms here is because I've not been focusing those as much (since my arms are already that big, am I right?), but jokes aside, arms are not that important when it comes to the trekking part and during my chest and back-exercises I will automaticly include those muscles then!
Other exercises will not be stated here, if you do want to about them and have a few hints how to improve your size and get strong - then I highly recommend you asking someone that's actually big and strong..and not me, but these are the main areas that I've been working on that I can tell ya'll about.
Indjury
As far as it goes for the walkin, my feet still hurts alot which has been the reason my walking with my chest piece has been postponed, I know that today was the day where I was suppose to make my 5 hours walk, but due to what the feet-guru-guy told me, I am not allowed to do so. Some people might call me a wimp since I say: 'No excuses, just try it, it might work and it's better try and fail, then just sitting some doing nothing''.
And yes, I would normally (if not always) be out walking anyway, but since it keeps getting worse even on my bike and I can't even ride it without being in alot of pain neither just standing up for 10 minuites without my feet start to hurt, I highly doubt putting an extra 30 kilos on my back and walking for 5 hours would help with the healing.. I know, mind-just-got-blown, right?
My back however is back..haha, my back is back, get it?...
...moving on! Is now back and ready to fight, it feels great that the indjury wasn't that major and I am good to go again!
Fixed:
Yes, I fixed..well not actually fixed, but I've improved my chanses of being back walking soon by buying soles that will make my feet more stable when I am walking and I should be good to go in about a month or so, so if I am allowed to do the 5 hours then, I will make up for the 5 hours that I lost this month!
That means, for you all that's not as good with numbers as I am - That I will do it 2 times next month!
I am however allowed to ride the bike for about 30-45 minuites depending on how my feet feels so atleast I am doing something(y)! Find a way to keep moving, I don't care how small the step is (which is a pretty stupid saying since I am not allowed to walk) as long as you're a bit closer to your goal then that you were yesterday!
Next goal:
So my next goal will mostly be to fix my feet since they are critical for this journey and I want to be fit for fight when it's time to actually start the trekking.
..few words to keep in mind:
It has been tough for me not being able to walk or doing as much cardio as I am used to, alot of things goes through my head all the time when I am not pushing myself as hard as I want to. Even I don't show it, even if I try to ignor it - it's still hard walking away from the gym knowing that you could've done something more.
But when my good friends, them whom I don't even tell what's been going on behind what they see - as you know, fully understanding someone elses mind is impossible, despite how close friends you are. But when they ask me how I feel when they tell me that what I am doing is something amazing..it actually gives me a bit of hope that what I am doing actually is something of value, when I just want to quit or be normal for a day, their words of support really means alot.
That goes for all what you do, if you are there, if you make yourself go to the library to study - then study!
If you go to practice - give it you all!
If you decide that you want to be a singer - then don't stop singing!
Whatever you do and even if you're only doing it for 5 minuites, 20 minuites or 5 hours a day - make sure that you're doing what you're suppose to do, don't quit when you get tired, because if you walk away and you know that you could have done more then you might as well just turn around and get back and finish what you started so that when you look yourself in the mirror at night you will be proud of the person that looks back at you!
And when you see someone is working hard when you see someone is busting their sould and heart out and working hard - give them some credit, I don't care if you know that person or not and you don't know what she or he is going through - but just a ''good job'' could make that person start feling that they are doing something of value!
So to all of you who's been there, thank you! But the journey is long and we're not even half way to get to Olympus! But I do enjoy it and I am so happy even if I can reach out to one of you readers and make you lift that ass from your couch and start doing those push-ups that you're suppose to, or to read that chapter or doing that homework:)
Til next time! Work hard!

Few words to keep in mind..
..Enjoy!
So I know that I've not been that great with the updates these past days.
Due to alot of work and other stuff and also I feel like I've been posting way to much about my ''Mt. Olympus'' and it might be more fun seing something else except my body covering you page..(Heck, I don't know, maybe not), but anyway, as I promised ...15th of December, so this is what's been going down!
Since I am working to increase my stamina and endurance and not to get heavy and build muscles, so the numbers that I am about to give you now, might not be that impressive, but I worked hard for those and I am darn proud of myself - so shut up!
These are my results after 4 months of practicing and it's what I manage to do on 3 sets with the 6-12 reps.
The numbers that I also give you will wary depending on the type of aim that I have for that specific week, note that not all the numbers of exercises are for lifting ''heavy'', faster they may also be depending on if I swap between two exercises (which is called a ''super-set'') or a ''drop-set'' (which is when you start on a heavy weight and slowly drop down to an easy one).
I am giving you this so that except all my filter/photshop pictures that you can actually believe me when I am telling you that I am improving!
Progress
Weight: Then Now
61kilos 66kilos (72, before I shave)
Shoulders: Then Now
Shoulderpress: 10kilos/hand - 25kilos/hand 3set
Reverse shoulderpress: 5kilos/hand - 15kilos/hand 3 sets
Chest: Then Now
Benchpress; 40kilos 60 kilos 3 sets
Incline Benchpress: 40kilos 50kilos 3 sets
Legs: Then Now
Legpress: 60kilos 150kilos 3 sets and a drop set.
Legcurl: 30kilos 100kilos 3 sets and a drop set.
Back: Then Now
Deadlift: 40kilos 130kilos 3 set, 3 reps/set.
Lats: 35 kilos 60kilos 3 set and a drop set.
About the deadlift 100reps on 15 minuites before new years, I still intend to do so, and I am working hard to reach it!
These are the main exercises that I do for each group of muscles, keep in mind that the only reasons I don't include arms here is because I've not been focusing those as much (since my arms are already that big, am I right?), but jokes aside, arms are not that important when it comes to the trekking part and during my chest and back-exercises I will automaticly include those muscles then!
Other exercises will not be stated here, if you do want to about them and have a few hints how to improve your size and get strong - then I highly recommend you asking someone that's actually big and strong..and not me, but these are the main areas that I've been working on that I can tell ya'll about.
Indjury
As far as it goes for the walkin, my feet still hurts alot which has been the reason my walking with my chest piece has been postponed, I know that today was the day where I was suppose to make my 5 hours walk, but due to what the feet-guru-guy told me, I am not allowed to do so. Some people might call me a wimp since I say: 'No excuses, just try it, it might work and it's better try and fail, then just sitting some doing nothing''.
And yes, I would normally (if not always) be out walking anyway, but since it keeps getting worse even on my bike and I can't even ride it without being in alot of pain neither just standing up for 10 minuites without my feet start to hurt, I highly doubt putting an extra 30 kilos on my back and walking for 5 hours would help with the healing.. I know, mind-just-got-blown, right?
My back however is back..haha, my back is back, get it?...
...moving on! Is now back and ready to fight, it feels great that the indjury wasn't that major and I am good to go again!
