Important concepts from Bret Stalcup.
The Five Excellences are the general areas that I train it. These areas are:
- 1. physical training/combat
- 2. academics/philosophy
- 3. seduction/s.ex
- 4. projects
- 5. meditation
I like having multiple areas of work, as if I get burned out in one area, I still have four others, and thus continue to make forward progress....using this method I've been able to Work for twelve years without cessation, and I am far from where I began on all levels.Though the term is taken from an old Taoist regimin and thus is structured according to their conception of the five elements, I use the western model, thus the above correspond to:1. earth2. air3. water4. fire5. spirit In my view, that is, according to the model that I have of how I want to be, proficiency in the above five areas allows one to interact well with the levels of life that i find most interesting and rewarding. As time unfolds I will start topics for each of these areas; for now, I just wanted to clarify the basic meaning of the title of my forum, to give interested parties an notion of where this will be going.
Third Wave
the first wave was/is the magic/k and myth people.
the second wave was/is the leary/hyatt/burroughs/RAW crowd, parallel to which was/is the chaos current.
the third wave is/will be the people who can kick ass and walk in ALL the worlds, from the most physical to the most abstract.
specialization = limitation, therefore specialists are limited people.
FUCK LIMITATION--DESTROY IT if you can.
Standards For Strength - Bret Stalcup
calisthenics--level one
this is the absolute bare minimum that a person needs in order to be able to function well.
- pushups 50
- chinups 10
- squats 100
- burpees (with jump) 30
calisthenics--level two
this is the minimum for being able to consider oneself conditioned, calisthenics-wise.
- dive-bomber pushups 50
- one-arm pushups 10
- handstand pushups 15
- dips 20
- pullups (not chinups) 15
- pistols 15-20
- burpees (with jump) 50-100
SAK ROUND ONE
- squats, 20 reps with 225 lbs
- dive bombers, 20 reps
- chinups 20 reps
ROUND TWO

The above are things I want to keep in mind for designing my individualized program. Other programs that will play a role are Warrior Wellness, Flow Fit 1 (Flow Fit 2 later), and Capoeira. I will also be incorporating sledgehammer work in order to train myself to create a video.
