In Memoriam Workout: Clean and Press 100 reps 135lbs ( 60kg)

++ IN MEMORIAM ANGELOS LAGADINOS 1954-2011 ++

100 clean and Press 135lbs 60kg

Dedicated Physical pursuit is a spiritual process of the highest level. The most advanced of all societies, that of Ancient Greece had at the core of the education of youth, the regime of physical training. Of course, they knew that the spiritualisation of the consciousness is the most powerful dimension of man.

On Friday 11 March 2011, my Uncle Aggelos was returned to the soil from which he sprang in the village of Dafne, Amalias Greece. This is the soil on which I first walked as a baby of 1 year old holding the hands of my grandparents.

I honour my Uncle Aggelos with this brutal workout, 100 clean and press 60kg, for time.

He is remembered for his saintly presence, artistic ability and triumph over challenges in life.

The number 100 is chosen for in Greek Tradition a common greeting and birthday wish for a man is that he reach the age of 100 in health and vigour. "Na ekatostisis". "May you reach 100 years of age !"

In any case, Gods plan for each man on Earth is a mystery to all.

In this workout, we go beyond the number 57 and celebrate each until the 100th repetition as a prayer for the departed soul whose earthly aspirations may have been of a kind that more time be spent in the physical world with his family.

As we reach 100 the physical pain and exhaustion ensures that in giving our all, we transcend our minimal and minuscle earthly understanding of life and death, and begin to enter the realm of the infinite.

We affirm that our prayer will reach the departed and we definitively affirm he will always be with us, and us with him. The 57th through 100 repetition lives, on behalf of the departed each year he might have otherwise have lived.

I now share with my fellow men 10 minutes of forced sheer pain and suffering in defeat of the limitations of the flesh in memoriam of my uncle from Athens who succumbed to Lung Cancer on Thursday leaving behind his wife and two sons.

The song 'Black Rain' is composed and performed by Sydney composer and musical artist Mr M Abelas and he retains all rights , interests and title in the music.

Wow, this is amazing. I did this same workout today although it looks like you executed it with better form. I will take a video of mine next week and post it. What time did you finish with? You're a beast!!! Keep up the good work my friend.

I don't know who Angelos is, but if he were alive he'd bow before you in thanks. 100 reps with good form... you're a maniac. Well done my man.
