“It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.” Socrates may be an unlikely advocate for heading to the gym, but his words could not be more relevant in the 21st century. As men, many of us are shadows of what we could and should be achieving - myself included - simply because its easy not to. Physical exercise should NEVER be used as a substitute for mental exercise. I despise the vast majority of image athletes, who wouldnt be able to defend themselves in a real physical struggle, and offer nothing besides over-developed pectoral muscles. Rather, we should marry the two in what the ancients refer to as mens sana in corpora sano : a healthy mind in a healthy body. artofmanliness/2014/08/13/why-every-man-should-be-strong/?utm_content=buffer40b7e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer Cheers Dave Sperandio for the link.
