Halfway Through

 At 6 weeks of protein supplementation, symptoms of muscle tightness, breathing difficulty, exhaustion, and brain fog/forgetfulness/confusion have intensified.  I’ve begun using written reminders to help me stay reliable to those who depend on me.  Workouts have become uncomfortable.  Driving for long distances tires me and when I’m tired I can scarcely speak with family or work associates.

A long driving trip out of town, which would typically be enjoyable to me, exhausted me for the entirety of the vacation and made vacation activities exquisitely uncomfortable.  I had to push through sheerly out of love for my family, who had a difficult time understanding my irritability and silence.  I lost my temper easily at the slightest perceived disrespect, which indicates a confluence of DM2 symptoms with increased testosterone.

Sex drive was increased, which can only be a good sign compared to the previous absence of any drive at all.  However, the act is completed hastily given overall exhaustion.  My pelvic floor control has gradually improved.  

I have found massage to be a helpful therapeutic, since it allows full stretch in the muscles around my ribcage which helps me breathe fully during sleep.  This is required almost daily to reset normal muscle length and allow me to breathe easily.  The fact I am gaining even more abnormal muscle tissue than normal from exercise makes massage indispensable for normal quality of life.

Another contributing factor to breathing difficulty has been increased fatigue in the respiratory musculature, especially during sleep or unconscious breathing.  The pelvic floor muscles similarly fatigued after excessive time between bathroom visits and this was easily remedied by going more often for 2 days.  However, I can’t stop breathing, so recovery of fatigued respiratory muscles has been much slower.  Focusing on breathing for shorter intervals than I exhale has allowed slow recovery of inhaling strength over the course of days.

At the halfway point, I am exhausted, but grimly committed to my task.  More news will follow at week 9 of protein supplementation.

The Puzzle Completed

Years of health mysteries have come to a head with a simple discovery.  I'm functionally infertile due to low sperm count likely caused by a rare genetic disorder.  I strongly suspect DM2 (rippling muscle disease or Ricker Syndrome) is the culprit (soon to be verified).  This has required a sudden and drastic attempt to increase sperm count by increasing protein intake and exercise based solely on the possibly spurious notion that my body may be able to increase sperm production if more protein and testosterone are present in the body.  Even if these measures increase count, it may only be enough to make in vitro fertilization a viable option for my wife and I who would select gametes without this disorder for implantation.  Right now, I produce 0.0875% of the sperm I should be producing at my age.  Having this disorder explains the sudden fatigue spells, the muscle cramps, the skin problems, the digestive disturbances, the congestive heart failure, the mood imbalances, the spontaneous loss of libido and sexual function, the desperate attraction to only optimally fertile women in the past couple years followed by complete inability to become aroused by anyone at all (all of this tortured me with guilt and depression, since my sex drive was essentially rejecting any woman older than 25, my wife included, and then eventually rejected everyone outright).  Despite all of this, I retain normal levels of testosterone and normal health markers.  

I'm now ending week 3 of exercise and protein supplementation (66 grams of supplemented protein + meat for dinner) and many of the above mentioned symptoms have intensified, even while my sexual function has sporadically returned and faded seemingly at random, which indicates some small but significant effect of the lifestyle modification.  I've added dips, pullups, lunges, sprinting, bear crawls, kettlebell snatches, and high kicking to form a 5 day routine of moderately severe exercise.  The severity of some symptoms has prompted me to reincorporate fruits and vegetables to help curb inflammation caused by this disease.  It has helped somewhat.  At this juncture, I am 1/4 of the way into my 12 week sperm increasing cycle.  Another semen analysis will determine how successful the experiment has been, if at all.  If I am able to succeed, I can preserve my lineage without passing on this disease.  If I fail, I will need to learn how to value living as I decline in function and grow old without heirs.

Right now, I feel physically well overall, but my throat aches, my incontinent struggling genitals remain atrophied, my brain hangs in an exhausted fog, my emotions weigh heavily on me, and I despair for the future of my family.  I have looked into the abyss wondering if I should stop swimming and sink down into the mire, but I will persevere until my duties are performed as husband and aspiring father.  This is a low point in my life.  I may have been lower before, but I can't recall exactly when.  More updates will be posted as the weeks drag by.  For now, I am thankful I can still walk, exercise, eat, and work.

Comparing Common Handgun Calibers by Power

Comparing handgun cartridges on the basis of power can help shed light on the terminal efficacy of various calibers across history, and to what degree modern caliber choices are important.  For this comparison, I'll be sorting calibers by range of foot pounds energy (fpe).  When categorizing, I estimated fpe assuming the most common commercially available power range for cartridges that are commonly loaded by people who actually carry or carried that weapon, so these estimates are necessarily speculative on that basis, though still informative when deciding between and among caliber choices.  I am also assuming the most common handgun barrel length for each caliber that is commonly carried.  I also ordered the calibers by date of historical introduction when possible.

0-100 fpe: This power range constitutes the lowest acceptable output of a handgun.  The weapons listed show that this range of power would have been historically considered submarginal by most.  The bow is an exception, but requires a sharpened arrow to deliver terminally effective wounds.  Bullets at this low speed are unlikely to be effective against bone and are more prone to deflection.  Many of the firearms carried in these calibers are carried by individuals who would prefer a handgun for self defense, but either were not able to historically or legally carry more powerful alternatives, or prefer to carry a weapon of very small size and are unconcerned about the limitations of these rounds.

100-200 fpe: This power range constitutes the standard expected lethality of a handgun from 1850-1860, which spans much of the American frontier period and American Civil War.  The Colt 1851 Navy was carried across the American west by lawmen and rangers and was widely regarded as effective against human combatants.  As cartridge technology evolved, the .38 short/long cartridges approximated this power range.  Interestingly, these early .38 revolvers were later seen to be famously inadequate in the Philippine insurrection against drugged Moro warriors.  Another analog, the .32 auto was later popular from the early 1900's into the 1950's, most commonly by civilians and military officers who did not expect direct armed conflict.  This power range is likely effective against unmotivated attackers as a tool of persuasion or psychological fear, but is not to be relied on for warfare or against highly motivated attackers.

200-300 fpe: This power range constitutes the standard expected lethality of a handgun after initial development of smokeless powders, improved conical projectiles, and/or improved metallurgy in the late 1800's.  The 1860 Army was a revolver that became possible only after Colt improved handgun materials to the point that larger powder charges could be safely fired in a relatively compact frame.  It should be noted that this range of power was deemed acceptable for use against enemy horses in war and against black bear in the 1850's.  In conjunction with this innovation, the use of heavier conical bullets expanded the capabilities of the 1851 Navy revolvers currently in service.  Later, the development of metallic cartridges ushered in the use of larger diameter revolvers like the .45 Schofield, which could reload faster than the Colt system, and .44-40, which could be chambered in both revolvers and lever action carbines.  This power range was retained as the standard expectation of handgun lethality until nearly the 1980's following the widespread adoption of the .38 special (4 inch barrel) as the standard American police arm.  One reason for the use of heavy recoiling .357 cartridges in a snubnose revolver could be to approximate the power of larger revolvers in a smaller frame.  At the same time, in semi-automatic handguns, the .380 auto cartridge was popular with civilians and military officers as a concealable backup arm that allowed more power than the .32 acp, while still allowing for safe operation in a straight blow-back action and comparable power to the ubiquitous full size .38 specials.  Some prefer the .32 H&R magnum over the .38 special since the smaller diameter allows 6 shots to fit in a concealable J-frame sized revolver that would typically only hold 5 rounds of .38 special.  Another contemporary niche could be individuals who dislike the recoil of .357 in a snubnose platform and prefer the .44 special snubnose for its comparable power with less recoil.

300-400 fpe: This power range constitutes the standard expected lethality of semi-automatic handguns following the advent of designs that allow higher pressured rounds to safely cycle.  Locked breech operating systems allowed for semi-automatic pistols to safely cycle ammunition of high enough pressures that they could not be safely fired in straight blow-back handguns.  This was accomplished with the advent of mechanisms to delay the opening of the firing chamber until pressure had reduced.  The first cartridges of this kind were most common in military applications.  9 mm and .45 acp cartridges were developed for use with locked breech designs in the early 1900's and were deemed adequate for use in war against human combatants.  In revolvers, this power range was achieved first by the development of the 1858 Remington revolver, which allowed a greater powder charge than the Colt pistols due to its enclosed frame.  Later, the merely adequate performance of the .38 special prompted the development of +p+ loadings, which occupied an intermediate power range between standard pressure and .357 magnum pressure and is still a preferred power range among revolver users today.  The ubiquitous modern 9 mm pocket pistols with 3" barrels and modern +p ammunition also occupy this power range, which is widely regarded as adequate for self defense against human combatants.

400-500 fpe: In the black powder era, this power range would have only been achievable with large caliber muzzle loading pistols like the Howdah hunting backup pistols and Flintlock pistols in military service loaded with conical bullets, or with extended barrels.  The 1847 Colt Walker was the most powerful of these black powder examples and was the most powerful repeating handgun in existence until the development of the .357 magnum.  It achieved this power range with a 9" barrel and a massive frame carried exclusively by mounted cavalry for intended use against enemy horses or marauding bears.  After the advent of cartridge technology, the .45 Long Colt surpassed the power of most other black powder handgun rounds of its time.  Its competitor, the .44-40 cartridge which won the West had somewhat less power, but could be loaded in both revolvers and carbines, which gave it an advantage in versatility.  In modern revolvers, this power range includes mild .357 magnum cartridges, which can also be loaded in carbines for comparable versatility.  In modern handguns, this power range was first realized by the .40 S&W after the 9 mm standard pressure was deemed inadequate against motivated attackers armed with high powered rifles in the 1986 Miami shoot out.  First the 10 mm was developed, but excessive recoil of the round prompted a reduction to the .40 S&W, which was accepted through the 80's and 90's in American police departments.  Modern ammunition manufacturers also continued to expand their offerings to include modern +p loadings of 9 mm and .45 acp that now rival .40 S&W performance in full size handguns.  This power range is considered more than adequate for self defense against human combatants and used to be considered adequate for hunting fleeing large animals from horseback as well (before more powerful alternatives became available).

500-600 fpe: This power range was initially adopted for use against early body armor worn by mobsters in 1930's USA and against automobile engine blocks.  The development of the .357 magnum by Elmer Keith and ammunition manufacturers allowed for the creation of the most powerful handgun cartridge until the creation of the .44 magnum in the 1950's.  This power range is widely considered devastating against human combatants.  This power range also enabled the first ethical hunting of medium sized game with handguns.  In the modern day, the .357 SIG, .40 S&W +p, and .45 acp +p are the modern examples of this power range in full size semi-automatic handguns.  In 2007, the introduction of the .327 magnum allowed for this energy range with potential for higher capacity in full size revolvers.

600-800 fpe: This energy range encompasses higher end handgun hunting with .357 magnum or .327 magnum, typically used for harvesting deer or small predators with minimal risk of an unethical harvest due to caliber alone.  10 mm was developed to elevate semi-automatic service handguns in power range well above the popular semi-auto caliber choices of the 1980's (9 mm and .45 acp).  It quickly fell out of favor due to being uncontrollable for most agents of the FBI, leading to the development of the less powerful .40 S&W.  The 10 mm load is still carried today as a defense handgun against brown and polar bears, which should speak to the capability and ballistic potential of this power range, especially with suitably designed hard cast bullets.

900-1,000+ fpe: This power range rivals weak rifle rounds in lethality, making these rounds overkill for personal defense against human combatants.  The most common application of these calibers are for bear and moose defense in the polar region.  Further, these calibers are borderline uncontrollable by even the most seasoned shooters.  In most situations where these magnums would be deployed, a standard rifle caliber would be more effective, more accurate, and less unwieldy, making this power range nearly impractical for most purposes other than large animal defense.  In training, one application might be inoculating experienced shooters against the effects of recoil, similar to training the use of the shotgun to increase recoil tolerance for rifle shooters.

More Burpee Experimentation

The burpee has been a great revelation for martial arts technical practice.  Some favorites:

Navy Seal burpees (3 pushups, 2 leg raises per burpee) for chest, shoulder, and core development (anterior chain).  Perform at least 100 per workout in as few sets as possible to approximate prison conditioning.

357’s:  Perform 3 pushups, kickback, 5 pushups, kickback, 7 pushups, stand up.  This is my favorite method of increasing pushup volume.  20 repetitions of 357’s equate to 300 pushups.  Each set compounds fatigue in the pressing muscles, leading to great gains in endurance and mass.

Pullup followed by single leg reverse lunges (1 each leg) for repetitions (posterior chain development).  (60 repetitions recommended for joint health)

Kettlebell swing burpee for balanced conditioning (although form does tend to degrade if not careful).  (100 in as few sets as possible)

Dead man burpee: Drop down to the floor, remove hands off the floor, spread them far apart, bring them back together, hands back on the floor, execute a perfect pushup in a straight plank without bending back or legs, stand up.

Martial Technique Circuit: A dead man burpee followed by 1 kick per leg x 10 for each kick type (front rising kick, side kick, back kick, crescent kick, reverse crescent kick, others as preferred) or followed by a 4 strike combination of upper body strikes x 10.  The full workout includes 60 burpees, and is intended to be completed without rest for the purpose of maintaining combat applicable conditioning and technical proficiency.  A posterior chain focused day must be included to prevent muscle imbalances and keep the joints healthy.

Different Paths, Same Mountain

The martial way is not a walk, nor a marathon, nor a sprint.  It's a climb.  Sometimes you can climb in rapid bounds, making progress quickly.  Sometimes, it's a crawl.  Sometimes you backslide and need to recover lost ground again.  Sometimes the ground is solid with good traction.  Sometimes it slips into a gravel slide and you fall off the path.

There are many opinions on the proper method to scale the mountain.  Some will camp at the base and jeer at anyone who attempts, but those individuals quickly fade from sight as you make progress. 

Some who do make the trek say a sprint is best, but they tire quickly from their unsustainable exertion and don't climb very high nor very long, preferring to return to base camp and repeat the sprint when they regain strength to try again.  They are of the belief that the best method is to just sprint for longer and longer, until they are able to summit the mountain in a single intense effort.  Few of these types get near the top, though they often inspire those at base camp who get brave enough to consider their own attempt.  It's also a great way to get in shape, even though they never get close to the top.

Others say a steady pace is best, preferring to progress continuously, but at a slow pace.  These sorts insist on progress, but underestimate the mountain.  Sometimes climbs are predictable enough that a steady pace makes sense, but other times the slope increases, traction decreases, or surrounding weather worsens to the point that a more gradual pace or even setting camp partway up the slope is warranted.  At those times, just standing still on the wind ravaged slope is hard work, and progress will need to wait for rest or sunnier days.

So, the best way to summit the mountain is to move quickly when the going is easy, move gradually when the slope increases, and learn when to camp in place and lie in wait for strength to climb a steep pass.

There are also many paths up the mountain.  Some are brutal and unforgiving.  Some are more of a gradual grind.  Some paths just wind around the tip of the summit and never progress to the top.  Any way you get to the top, there is no way to rest up there.  You must struggle to the summit, and struggle to remain on top.

Martial Conditioning: The Burpee

Introduction

The humble burpee is an exercise named after its creator, Royal Burpee, who developed it as an assessment tool for determining physical capacity for military service.  Initially, the exercise was a 4 count front leaning rest without a pushup (squat down and touch ground, kick legs back into front leaning rest, kick legs back forward into low squat touching the ground, stand up).  This sequence was either performed for a set number of repetitions with a set cadence, or attempted for as many repetitions as possible in 20 seconds or 1 minute time intervals.  The assessment portion initially consisted of measuring the heart rate of the participant before, immediately after, and after a set rest interval to test cardiovascular response to movement and recovery rate.  Simultaneously, the participant was monitored for any physical movement compensations or dysfunctions (inability to properly squat, support bodyweight with the arms, or the presence of positive symptoms such as pain, or inability to complete the prescribed amount or duration of movements).  This original intent of the burpee has been largely forgotten in the modern military, since the original assessment was designed to quickly and easily screen the physical readiness of a very large army of draft conscripts with minimal equipment, rather than assessing the combat fitness capacity of trained volunteer recruits, which is more compatible with modern military assessment practices.

Although the assessment intent of the burpee was lost to history, the movement was found to have hidden utility as a framework for sequential movement.  It turns out that adding a pushup, or more, to the burpee can turn the movement into an incredibly exhausting calisthenics sequence that allows for training of compliance with uncomfortable orders, tolerance of physical fatigue, concentration on tasks, and discipline in the face of pain.  This 'bug' of the burpee (pain and exhaustion combined with sequential compliance) has since become a feature in bootcamp training programs, prison hierarchies, and civilian fitness centers.  These modifications are numerous, and include the following variants of the burpee, now used more for building physical capacity than assessing it.

1 pump burpees: This is the classic training variant, which consists of lowering into a front leaning rest, but now adds a pushup before returning to the low squat and standing up.  These can quickly increase fatigue through the whole body, especially with the fast turnaround time between the pushup and standing back up.  Some also do this version with a jump and clap overhead at the end to increase the intensity of the exercise and the full body power requirement.

2 pump burpee:  This is the same as the 1 pump with two pushups added instead of one.

Navy Seals: This is a 3 pump burpee, with added knee tucks for the first and second repetitions in the upper position of the front leaning rest (first left knee, then right knee).  The third pushup is performed without any knee raise.

4 pump, 5 pump: Self explanatory.

 8 count bodybuilder (Marine Corps):  Drop into low squat, kick feet back into front leaning rest, drop chest to floor, push up, kick legs apart in front leaning rest, kick legs back together, kick forward into low squat, stand up.

.357's: Drop down into a low squat, kick back into front leaning rest, perform 3 pushups, kick feet forward into downward dog, kick legs back into front leaning rest, perform 5 pushups, kick back into downward dog then forward into front leaning rest again, perform 7 pushups, kick forward into low squat, stand up.

8 count bodybuilder with kickback (12 count bodybuilder): Drop into low squat, kick feet back into FLR, drop chest to floor, push up, kick legs apart, kick them back together, kick feet forward into downward dog, kick them back into FLR, drop chest to floor, push up, kick forward into low squat, stand up.

The variations on burpees are innumerable and lend well to a great deal of modification.  To prevent boredom or failure to complete a movement, it is common to vary slightly across repetitions, always by adding to the movement, never by subtracting.  Things to add include a standing toe touch followed by a deep squat prior to kicking back into the front leaning rest to build flexibility, a sharp blow to the midsection prior to beginning each repetition to build toughness, mountain climbers or kick backs in the FLR to target the core, or any number of pushup repetitions or variations of pushup.  Another common modification is to add a pullup at the end of each repetition to target the back musculature and prevent pushing muscle imbalances in the shoulder girdle.  If a movement is not being completed, another good idea is to jog in place or for a small number of yards to recover between repetitions or between sets.

If complemented with kettlebell swings, pullups, dips, or other calisthenics, and running, burpees are a foundation for uncommon levels of fitness and musculature strength as well as endurance.

I would also like to recommend my own preferred burpee variation specifically appropriate for martial artists.  It's the 12 count bodybuilder followed by one kick with each leg.  Set a goal to cover every type of kick a set number of times in the workout and the workout is only over after every type of kick has been performed for the goal number.  As you increase in fitness, add one upper body strike of each type for a set number as well.  Also add forward falls and backwards falls to initiate every other technique to maintain practice with those techniques.  This can easily expand a workout to an hour or more of continuous burpees and technique practice with obvious benefits for endurance, flexibility, and strength.  Adding a pullup to the burpee sequence at least once per week should be sufficient to maintain pulling and grip strength as well.

Muscles Worked

Just about any muscle imaginable, although most common variations target the anterior chain much more heavily than the posterior chain, which means burpees are best supplemented with deadlifts, swings, pullups, or back bridges.

Why Do Burpees?

Because they amplify the conditioning effect of a sequence of exercises by compressing the time to completion and encouraging continuous movement.  My former practice of 100 kicks and 100 pushups in sets of 10 never increased my endurance or muscle definition.  Incorporating both into a compressed burpee sequence increases both.  If I can build adequate muscle size for my martial arts practice through pushups alone by distributing them out in the form of burpees, why lift heavier?  The intensity of the exercise alone actively facilitates hypertrophy as well as recovery speed.  Increasing one's speed of recovery is one reason to prioritize burpees as a method of distributing physical practice.


Likely Results of Burpees

These world record holders in the burpee are exemplars of how the body adapts to the exercise at extreme repetitions.  Notice the proportional distribution of muscle, no excess fat deposits, and no areas of underdevelopment.  These body types are ideal for functioning well in the rigors of combat.
 
 

The Subversion of the Media: Undermining Sexuality

One of the less appreciated consequences of the media being controlled by a small cabal of racially foreign bad actors has been the indirect manipulation of sexuality within the host population, either intentionally or as a latent product of targeted casting practices within the entertainment sector.
One of the foremost purposes of media is to deliver stories to the populace that reinforce dominant cultural practices and values, but a secondary and vital function is the identification of culturally approved sexualized identities, most notably in the heroes the media chooses to edify.

The importance of media control is exemplified in the nature of women.  They are socially conditioned to a very high degree where it concerns the development of their sexual preferences.  Before finding a man attractive, it is almost necessary for a woman to first vet their chosen partner against the preferences of close friends and family as a way of testing the man's identity against socially sanctioned popular opinion.  Finding the wrong man attractive can expose a woman to social ostracization, which is a form of personal annihilation in the estimation of females, who are by default defined and valued largely through the opinions of their collective. 

The media constitutes the most direct way of transmitting mass opinion, not only in politics and entertainment, but also in sexual selection. Therefore, the men that are most highly regarded in the media are also those who are most eligible as bachelors.  To be a man who is seen and talked about is to be sexually selected by women, and the media is the gate keeper to that conversation, and by extension, to sexual access with the women who converse.  The family and friends milieux were the original contexts of this vetting, which has now been extended to the mass media, absent any concern for long term consequences.  This is evident when you consider that women of our culture were variously conditioned to sexually desire a poor rhinestone wearing musician in the 50's, then 4 boys from Liverpool in the 60's, then long haired drug users in the 70's and 80's, flannel wearing heroin addicts in the 90's, vampires, sorcerers, and werewolves in the 00's, and criminal blacks in the 10's.  The distinct lack of female humiliation in the face of their ridiculous and capricious preferences should explain both their gullibility as well as their general lack of capacity for self criticism.  If the war for American sexual selection is to be won, it will be a man's war to wage.  We cannot count on women to help us defend their own heritage, and this treachery should be remembered as we strive to retake control of our institutions.  After the lampposts are fully occupied with our subverters, we should not spare the rod where it concerns the fairer collaborators against our people.  Mandatory breeding policies and retributive financial and criminal punishments toward former collaborators should be considered the least of what justice demands after the people of the United States retake their democracy.

In the past decade, white identity of male role models has become a signal for social ostracism and female shame.  This effect only applies to white actors and is absent toward men of other identities.  The long term effects of this media bias are now becoming apparent.  For the demographics of this country to be maintained, the media must be pacified and defanged.  This may or may not require targeted action of an extra-legal kind toward the purveyors of anti-white propaganda.

2020 update: The current BLM riots can be identified by their targets.  Don't ask who the attackers are.  Ask who is targeted for violence or protest.  Statues of white men throughout history who have been politically or militarily venerated are targeted for destruction or vandalism.  White men are their targets.  Individually, we are being subjected to widespread humiliation, violence, and murder in the course of these riots.  Our women have joined forces with the attackers and most of them deserve to be regarded as traitors.  If we prevail in the conflict, let them be treated accordingly.  This is the time to stand tall and refuse to bow before the mob.  If targeted, do what is necessary to protect the health of yourself and your loved ones.  If confronted by the mob and asked to prostrate yourself, refuse.  Do not fear to be imprisoned or killed in the course of righteous struggle.  If targeted for your identity alone, counterattack and win.  Let the cowards of law enforcement lock you up for self defense after the looters have run away.  If you are forced to defend yourself, do not leave bullets in the mag, a blade clean, or surviving attackers to run away.  If acting righteously has become criminal, then be a criminal.  Now is the time to stand up for your ancestors, your heritage, and your birthright.  May all the blood that runs be the blood of traitors, rioters, and provocateurs.
