A few years back when I began working out regularly, people told me the gym thing was a trend. I didn't really believe it until recently. It's obvious that at least Sweden is starting to embrace gym work out. Never before have cities offered so many gyms (in the city where I live we have no less than nine different gyms), people are crowding the machines after work, and there are suddenly TV commercials about dietary supplements. Getting strong have gone mainstream.

This is most definitely a positive health trend that I embrace, for the following reasons:

• Guys feel robbed of their manhood thanks to feminism instilling male guilt. That's why they go to gyms to improve their physique and impress their social surroundings. Is that a problem? As long as you understand that self-confidence isn't located in muscles, no it isn't. I hope it intimidates other men and I hope it baffles whiny women who'd rather let all men become wimps, drowning in their own shit after work.
• The health benefits of using gym machines and lifting weights are serious. Ask Bhetti, Martin or Frank. Resistance training is the most effective way of burning fat and gaining strength. Some will say that body building is damaging to the heart and other parts of your body. That might be true for extreme work out, but the truth is that less than 5 % of the men and women who regularly go to the gym will ever be close to serious body building physique.
• It changes the way you eat. Even if you'd want to eat industrially prepared lunches, you couldn't, because they don't contain the necessary nutrients for your body to recover after work out. Ask big guys and girls what they're eating: chicken, fish, milk protein, vegetables and pasta/potatoes/rice. And unless they're handicapped, they're cooking the food themselves. That's better than the average modern blockhead who barely knows how to make fish soup in the microwave.
• People learn to think in terms of consistency. You can't maintain a good physique without hard and regular work. Young people are flaky. Teach them the virtue of self-discipline and maybe they'll actually go out and do something with their lives when they quit school.

We are biologically adapted to a lifestyle where most of the time is spent preparing, cooking and eating food. If it sounds boring, compare it to the bureaucratic tasks at work or the slow brainwashing in public education. Food is hilariously interesting and exciting, because it teaches you to use your senses and practical skills, similar to music and sex. Training and food go hand in hand.
