there's one point in the movie taxi driver when bobby de niro talks about how our bodies are getting soft and weak. he then exclaims that in order to further his cause, he's gonna have to start training hard and working out.

over the past few weeks, for whatever reason, my body has been deteriorating. it's getting soft. arnold once said that if it jiggles it's fat. although he never took water and the elasticity of skin into account, he's had me paranoid since reading those words a few years back.



it couldnt have been my diet, 'cause i eat right - very right. it's probably my absence from the gym and any form of physical activity. it's probably the alcohol consumption. all play and no work is probably what it is and this makes me feel like one big hypocrite.



"50, 49,48..."

and i call myself a physical educator.

it's 4am and im already devising a plan to get back on track and how im gonna train today.
we'll go grassroots; back to the basics....jump some rope and the mile.


"...34,33,32..."

"Jumping ropes, doing kicks, basic drills with the stick,

50 push-up in the clip on fists and wrists

Getting swollen on the block, lifting weights at the gym

Take the kids to the park do some techniques with them
Throw that hood
Work that cross, stick your moves tap that jaw

Tiger claw, lion paw, iron pawn cant be solved

Life is hard on the block, put your heart on the spot

You gon’ ride or youre not?

Brawn first, get the drop (it’s c-lo for push-ups)


Getting big with the click, keep it tight like a fist

Everybody hit the deck nigga four, five, six

Add it up, hit the block, no search - add it up,

Skinny niggas getting guts, sisters too, get the needs of fight
No girl Push-ups
RBGs 50-50 let me see what you got,

Nigga don’t just watch me do it with me,
You can do it through your breath from your gut not your chest,

Push ‘em out make ‘em count go all-out
Count them out nigga"
