A BEAST OF DAMNATION. WHAT TO WEAR?!

DODSENGEL

Greetings Fellowship! how are we doing? how them lifts looking? getting a tight shot group? Mother Nature is bending over in her low rise jeans. the butt crack of spring is in site. we gotta gear up to start shedding layers and expose a lil' skin. personally I prefer the winter. I take the Steve Reeves approach and clothe my gains in hoodies and flannels but I know many of you form an acute allergy to fabric as the seasons change. which is great. always like the boys wearing their gains as a shirt. you fucking earned it. take pride in it and share it. no shame ever. shame was created by insecure fattys and feminists to block you from having pride. we bow to no one.

with the warmer days on the horizon you gotta adjust your wardrobe accordingly. so I present you...

THE DIRTY BLACK SUMMER COLLECTION  
.2015.



you are already tight in the right places. thick where it counts and hittin' em with the flex on the reg but what are you gonna wear to highlight your Muscle Ignorance? look no further then the "DIRTY BLACK SUMMER COLLECTION"! here I will highlight some inspiration you can use to make your summer the dirtiest, the blackest, and the strongest.

first out of the gate as expected are the icons of the Black Metal Fitness Fashion mindset....Danzig. Not gonna rant too much on these Gods because you already know, but note the lack of sleeves in this photo. the cornerstone of any weightliftters summer gear. we all have that perfect sleeveless shirt. cut to perfection around the delt to show off the cap, tight but not too slim, length goes just below the belt, a lot of wear-n-tear to maintain its KVLT status. get your ass that perfect sleeveless shirt if you dont already have one. washing it is frowned upon. like Tyga says "make it nasty".

strong submission here. mark my words this is gonna be the summer of the black tank top tucked into black denim. I like this look because your gut has nowhere to hide. so you have to be fit to pull this off. black sweatband offsets possible "washed up chess player with a pony tail" look. which reminds me. GET YOURSELF A BLACK SWEATBAND. get like a 5-pack of em. you cant have enough. there is nothing that pays tribute to the fathers of heavy metal better than rocking THE black arm bands. they go with every outfit. you image search any band that's been riffin since the 80's and you will find one in every stage and promo photo. trust. PRO TIP: also hides skinny wrists making your arms look bigger and thicker.

 

 

 

(aside from my Blackhawks gear) I own no colors. seriously none. socks, underwear, belt, pants, shoes, shirts, jackets, gloves, hats....all black. im all in,  but some of you bros do rock colors and if you do then you cannot look at yourself in the mirror this summer and say "im buff and gig ready" without white hi-top shoes. nothing says chain smoking, arm wrestling, headbanging, long hair like these. they say "I commit to no woman. my only concerns are keeping my shoes white with a tooth brush and tuning my guitar". They are the Monolo's of metal fashion. the whiter the better.

you are already well versed in the ranger panties. every lifter must own silikes and quad tattoos. quads are the new biceps duh. when you sit down it should be awkward for others. they dont know where to look. plus if you are rocking ranger panties when you take them off to put your jeans back on no one is adverting their eyes because you are in your underwear. its old news to them. SILIKES ARE THE BIKINIS FOR MEN. DEATH TO AMISH GYM WEAR! BMF regulation shorts must at a minimum be 6 inches above the knee. no compromise.

any opportunity you have be seen holding some form of outdated farming tools you must take. that is like square fucking one.

Samson was light years ahead of their time. Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden's first band. They released a short film in the 80's called "Biceps of Steel". i am just gonna let that marinate for a bit. soak it up. ......*tear gently falls down cheek* "perfection". here is the description of the film. read this and tell me you dont get a murder boner..." The film depicts a 'super roadie' who fights evil orange jumpsuit-wearing bouncers stopping a rock and roll crowd from having a good time. He then falls foul of an evil wench who seduces and cuts his hair in order to take away his strength. At the end of the concert the super roadie causes the two towers of amplifiers to fall, exacting his revenge" they sure don't make em like they use to. also will a band please rip off this logo send me a black XL? well call it even for the idea.

poor people are the trendsetters in metal. sleeveless flannels are so advanced that I get depressed when I realize how few people rock this look.

this is the "summer cruise look" of BMF. if i am ever in the Bahamas this is what I would wear. I would eat brunch in it, party in it, swim in it, sleep in it, do coke in it, and fuck in it. getting boner just typing this cuz Lemmy.

summing it all up this is what you should look and feel like every time you step out of the house during prime-time sunshine. look at those tumblr baes throwing themselves to these alpha wolves. like "please Lords of Muscle protect me from my 3k followers on IG and slutz who steal my look off pintrest and claim it as their own." gladly my lady, hold my caribou pelt and pewter chalice as I finish blacksmithing my hammer. then I will carry you into my lair where we will drink red wine and I suck on your toes in front of the fireplace.

BONUS PRO TIP: wearing a long necklace that falls in between your chest pecs increase its mass and highlights chest growth. Its like wearing a neon sign that says "yeah. I lift." this is a good thing. its subtle but glaring. you cannot help but notice the small bends and unique curves of the chain as they drape over your thick, solid, and tight chest. if you have served then dogtags are the standard check wear. if not then go for a custom made upside down cross. no rosarys. this aint a neon, 20 dollar cover, nightclub Brah.

FEEDING THE GAINS

I am real big on never going to bed hungry. In fact my late night meal has now dethroned breakfast as my favorite meal of the day. its crucial to feed your muscles while you are sleeping. going to bed without eating is like skipping two meals. I wanna share my current pre-sleep snack. its basically a healthy ice cream and is cheap and east to make. Im very into eating meals out of bowls. I don't like things separated on plates. takes too long to eat and tricks me into thinking i am full before I actually am. like everything else in my life I prefer primal habits. chunk a bunch of shit I need, mix it up, and serve it to me 1930's Depression Era America style.

I use plastic meal prep bowls so I can eat and not feel guilty about not doing dishes but if you use a ceramic bowl it freezes the feed quicker.

I take a ripe banana and mash it up

 add 2 heaping scoops of natural creamy protein

a huge scoop of either cottage cheese or plain greek yogurt

half a cup of plain oats

squeeze in a little honey for sweetness 

and a quarter cup or vanilla almond milk or regular milk.

mix it up good then add a scoop of chocolate whey protein

mix it up again then put it in the freezer for about 30 mins to an hour

I take my medication on an empty stomach then after about 15 mins. I devour the entire thing from the comfort of my bed. Its so fucking good man. im addicted to it. I could literally eat it for every meal. you can pretty much take this recipe and tweak it however you like leaving in the "core" of peanut butter, protein, oats, and yogurt/cottage cheese base. Sometimes I add berries for a PB&J taste, sometimes crushed almonds for texture, sometimes I crush up some Oreo's if I feel like I earned it. just get liberal and create your own dish. its like a Bloody Mary because you can put whatever the fuck you want in it and it will still taste good.

give it a try and let me know what you think.

ROCKWELL BARBELL

here's a behind the scenes photo of us building walls at our gym Rockwell Barbell last month. Chicagos best kept secret in ignorant strength gains and barbaric raw lifting. you gotta know someone who knows someone to be invited into this Iron Sanctuary. If you are ever in Chicago look into earning a guest spot to lift with us. you wont be the same ever again.

cult of iron

Current setup of this elite sanctuary. every month new improvements and additions are made. Its remarkable how far we have come in the last 6 months. Its really humbling to be a part of this thing. look forward to making more contributions this year.

ROCKWELL BARBELL. CHICAGO. USA.

no address is given because its "underground" but the rough cross streets are Western and Belmont. you gotta earn a baptism in here. hit me up if you think you can hang.

get familiar with this place. It has become sacred grounds for lifting, motivation, and brotherhood. not a single shred of negativity lives within these walls. just raw emotion and love of weightlifting. they way gym were intended. no showers, locker rooms, saunas, steam rooms, cardio theaters, or ellipticals in sight. you can go do that shit on your own time. we come here to lift weights and get stronger.

my schedule has been full time go on everything lately. I have had no time to even think about anything else that isn't directly related to my well being. which is both good and bad. I got full time college (4 classes, 2 of which are labs), my first and only child. a baby girl named Baroness that my wife and I welcomed month ago, and gym time. I am living in a very tight tunnel of hard work, love, and knowledge. 

The baby and school take up most of my schedule so my gym times has become sporadic and unpredictable. To combat this I have gone into a "get in where you fit in" gym schedule. No set times and hardly any predictable lift orders. Its actually been kinda fun. I go in there, fuck shit up for an hour, then go on with my life. I hit bench press twice a week, squat twice a week, and dead lift once a week. then whenever I can i fit in one accessory day a week like a back day or arm day. All the rest my muscles have been getting because of the busy life schedule started creating bigger numbers on my lifts. So I cannot complain too much. just basic lifts, strong eating habits, and rest. the nuts and bolts of any strong motherfucker.

Im walking the walk. I don't just post on here and then expect people to execute. Everything I write is who I am and what I do. So even as life shifts and priorities change I still make the time to improve myself both physically and mentally. this way no matter what happens I am on a linear progression.

I know that many of you are the same. I am no special snowflake. many of you juggle work, ol' girl, and dogs/kids. knowing you dudes still hit the weights keeps me in line. we all struggle together. that kinda stuff motivates me when I am feeling sorry for myself. its a give and take environment. take what you need and give what you can. when I see dudes posting their gym pics and progress I get siked. keep it up you ruthless heathens!

what I have been jammin' in the gym lately:
Nightbringer
Absu
Midnight
Blaze Of Perdition
Judas Priest
new Leviathan

see you in hell my friend.

GO SEE THIS FILM. so fucking rad. killer soundtrack, clutch cinematography, and a beautiful story. you wont regret it. its subtitled so you will actually have to watch the film and not fuck off on IG for 30% of the film.

STAY GRIM AND HIT THE GYM.
