A Mixed Bag For This Thursday *** First Up; The Daily S.A. Report from Forward Observer *** Second; An Interesting Take on Physical Conditioning From Mark Hatmaker *** And Finally A 1hr Video on The Fate That Could Await Most Major American Cities

Several of the Info dumps in today's S.A. Report are direct results relating to the Current Russian Invasion of The Ukraine. Brief, but to the point, it goes to show the effectiveness of the weaponization of 'Energy Warfare' in the 21st century.

Good morning. Here’s your Daily Situational Awareness for Thursday, 25 August 2022.

SAFETY SYSTEMS TRIPPED AT UKRAINIAN NUCLEAR PLANT: Safety systems were turned on at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine currently held by Russian forces. Russian state media reported loss of electricity in the region, including to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

PUTIN SIGNS DECREE TO INCREASE RUSSIAN FORCES: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a decision to increase the size of Russia’s standing military to just over 2 million troops. The 137,000 increase equates to about 10 Division-sized units. The decision goes into effect on 01 January 2023.

GERMANY SWITCHES TO RAIL FOR ENERGY TRANSPORT: German parliament has released a 6-month decree forcing railway operators to prioritize the transportation of energy commodities and related equipment as water levels on the Rhine continue to fall. The decree grants priority over passenger and freight traffic to a variety of commodities, including mineral oils, coal, liquid natural gas, transformers, and equipment for power generation and transmission. Officials note that the decree is necessary to prevent economic disruptions over the winter as Eurozone officials warn of a dark, cold winter.

Next, we have a  very 'Old School' take on Physical Conditioning from Mark Hatmaker. I have a few of his videos from what he calls his "Unleaded Conditioning" series. Definitely won't interest the younger, hard charging crowd at all. However considering the average age of most of the people who read this blog, there are some realistic aspects to what he's promoting. 

Oh, and yes, by the end of the article he makes a pitch for his DVD materials, but he doesn't try to hard sell you, and most of his instructional stuff is pretty inexpensive. And since most of you guys know how chea.... er, ahhh,, frugal (yeah frugal, that's the word) I am, you know I ain't kidding!

 

Three Old School Principles You MUST Have to Un-Stick Your PT 

by Mark Hatmaker

Old School Warrior Wisdom, be it striking, grappling, or training for warriorship has more than a few nuggets that can, and to my way of thinking, should be used today.

 These old nuggets can take the form of the specific application [the tactical] as in “Fire this elbow this way” or “Pull-ups? Nah, not like that, like this.”

 Or the nuggets can take the form of an overall schema or approach [the strategic] as in, “A southpaw fighter will drift opposite what your mirrorwork tells you, skip the mirror when fighting one is on the schedule” or “Sequencing is King” training, say arms before back will kybosh gains in both realms and does not make full use of Hebb’s Rule.

 Today’s sojourn deals with the tactical in the physical training realm. We will touch on three principles of overall PT Program construction without going into a specific PT Program itself. I and many of the Black Box Brotherhood use The Unleaded Conditioning protocol which is a synergistic mix of low weight and somatotrophics [increasingly escalating calisthenics] to render the desired effects in less time than you ever thought possible, with far less wear and tear on ever-aging bodies. [Entropy is a fact of being a living organism.]

 [BTW-Don’t let “low-weight” fool one into assuming high-reps. We’ll get to that.]

 Two Things before we get to the three principles.

 One-These will work with any PT program, Unleaded or otherwise, Unleaded is simply constructed inside-out top-to-bottom with these old school thoughts in mind. A little imagination though will allow you to adjust whatever your own flavor of mayhem is to take advantage of this wisdom.

Two-I address ONLY natural athletes. My bias is 100% old school, pre-steroid era, hell, even pre-creatine consumption.

Supplementation is designed to alter how the body can adapt to physical stressors.

Old School training had no recourse or desire to “hedge” training.

What you see is what you get.

What you do is what you wrought.

Many of us are pursuing training templates created in the shadow of pharmaceutical help, hamster-wheeling training schemas that allow the “helped” athlete to respond—not the pure OD natural warrior.

So, if one digs pharmaceuticals, you can skip this lesson, I speak to the Old School Warrior.

What I am offering is akin to saying “Hey, here’s some financial advice, first get a rich dad to bankroll you, bankrupt several times but have high-powered attorneys on hand to allow you default on recompense putting others at jeopardy while you reap rewards.”

One can indeed get rich that way, but most of us do not have that option or desire the ethical trade-off to enjoy that option.

I speak to true old schoolers, true boot-strappers.

Finally we have a news Documentary out of Seattle. This was done in 2019 before the rioting by ANTIFA and BLM had gotten completely out of hand. It deals primarily with city's homelessness, drugs, the abrogation of virtually the entire city government to do their jobs, and the attendant hamstringing of Law Enforcement (both of the police and the courts) to prevent them from doing their jobs.

This is a cautionary tale as well as an idea of what we can expect in America over the coming years. This news documentary is well done, and well presented. After finding this I did a little more searching and found similar video News Documentaries on the same subject about other American cities in the same situation. I will be presenting these over time as part of series of the shitstorm that is facing America in the immediate future.

Seattle Is Dying
