...makes you stronger and we can prove it!

As many of you may or may not know I am a martial artist and I love shows and books related to my art (filling the void of endless knowledge) recently a TV show called "Fight Science" aired on fox I think and they studied various martial artists doing various things. Now when one guy broke several thick stacks of bricks. (I've broke a few bricks in my time and it's a lot of fun) However the human skeleton normally would not be able to do that. So they looked at this guys bone structure and it turns out that years of hard training had made his bone structure and musculater denser which allows him to take more damage and deliver repeated stone shattering strikes and the like. So it's proven that whatever doesn't kill you does indeed make you stronger

Strength training that regularly consists of things that might kill an untrained person.

Besides, if something kills you, it won't make you stronger, right? So if it doesn't kill you, chances are it is making you stronger in some way. It doesn't necessarily need to be physical. It might be mental, spiritual, etc.

Well no, that proves that strength training works.

"What fails to kill me...will kill you." Damn thats good! I need to put that in my movie!


The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron's ass halfway through the first chapter.
