What Rammstein Can Teach You About Women

May 14, 2016 Dominic Reichl 17 Comments

rammstein women

"Bend down, I command you. Turn your face away from me." I listened to a lot of Rammstein throughout my adolescence, enjoying the militaristic riffs, brute vocals, and masculine poetry. Recently, I rediscovered their music, particularly as a means to get pumped for heavy squatting, and I realized that I had never really understood what their lyrics were about. I always found them to be cool, but I was way too innocent and sexually inexperienced to truly grasp their meaning. As I've now … [Read more...]

Willpower: Lessons in Self-Discipline #7

May 13, 2016 Dominic Reichl 6 Comments

discipline comfort

The seventh principle in my willpower series states: Create discomfort in your life! Imagine you'll have to beg for money on the streets, rob a grocery store, or starve to death this month unless you make some money to buy food and pay your rent. How motivated will you feel to get off the couch and start hustling? How likely would you be to sit around procrastinating, playing video games or watching YouTube videos? People typically aren't lazy procrastinators as a result of their DNA or … [Read more...]

Wherever people come together, power emerges, and Will to Power. Is this primarily a matter of actual might or a mere sense of feeling mighty? An economic study by L. P. Tost (2015), published in Research in Organizational Behavior (Vol. 35, pp. 29-56), tackled the question of how structural and psychological power are related. Tost defines power as the "asymmetric control over valued resources, which in turn affords an individual the ability to control other's outcomes, experiences, … [Read more...]

Training of heart rate variability (HRV) is a wonder weapon in sports coaching. Medical scientists recognize HRV, the variation in the time distance between heart beats, as a most reliable indicator of overall human health. In general, HRV signifies how efficiently the autonomic nervous system deals with stress—the higher your HRV, the better. HRV is crucial for every athlete because it measures his recovery progress. If HRV is low, one should consider taking a deload or even a day off in … [Read more...]

How to Gain Freedom Through Strength

May 9, 2016 Dominic Reichl 16 Comments

gain freedom strength

Readers asked me about the slogan freedom through strength. Does one have to be strong and muscular to be free? Have I never seen an old, skinny monk glowing with freedom? Strength is more than the exertion of force. Strength is triune: Strength is physical (body strength). Strength is psychological (mental strength). Strength is volitional (willpower). Freedom is not achieved. It is grown into and invigorated by the trinity of strength. To grow into freedom, strengthen your … [Read more...]

Core Concepts

1. Freedom is the degree to which one does one’s True Will.
