My training has been progressing fairly well recently - I'm getting stronger session to session, and seem to have overcome the plateau I had been stuck at for quite a few months through sheer hate and swapping to 5/3/1. I, as anyone, am occasionally guilty of going through the motions, and I've found I don't get stronger unless I literally leave parts of my body and soul when I train. So now, if I lift, I really go after it. We're talking loud metal (obviously), caffeine, sometimes ammonia, etc. Some bloke may come along with his studies spouting broscience about overtraining and burnout, but I'm getting results, plus it's just fucking fun to let out a hellish growl before tearing a deadlift off the floor, and again just for the hell of it.
I've just been listening to Evoken's 'Antithesis of Light'. This is thick, nasty and dark doom metal. Check it out.
I'm also really into Bell Witch's EP - this is just incredible and haunting. So much so that I've just downloaded the film that the intro track samples - The Masque of the Red Death. Get a copy of it here:

By the way, I highly rate that blog - it's got some awesome new and underground bands tearing shit up.
As far as other badass shit goes, I'm also a regular follower of BadassOfTheWeek.com. This is a sick website celebrating weekly all things manly and testosterone, and showcasing the hardest motherfuckers ever to walk the earth.
Well, I've run out of things on my mind at the moment - hopefully as this blog develops I may have some structure and some regular-ish features that will be fairly interesting.
Lift hard.
