What got me into and keep my trying to develop my physique might partly be due to reading and collecting every single Marvel comic released in my native language from the age of seven in 1982 when my Mom finally gave in and very reluctantly let me buy a Hulk comic book instead of that stupid little cute teddy bear Bamse who never fights but do get super strong when he drinks his Grandmothers Thunderhoney! in 1982.
The cover of that is forever etched in my mind and although the cover and the story was originally published in Captain Americas comic book.
I collected all Marvel comics in my native language from age 7 until around 13 or so when my teenage hormones started kicking in and I started reading some heavy novels like Dostojevski, crappy and dark though.
Tolstoys novel
Resurrection also translated as the Awakening was his last and is a spiritual novel about awakening of the soul and a quick wiki check says it was also a criticism of the institutional church.
Kind of how Jesus was in regards to the Pharisees and he never organised modern church but as Tolstoy and other spiritual sects a spiritual awakening must come from within oneself and can never be forced upon anybody and neither can any belief.
As you know you good people believe what you believe and that I fine
Interesting is how the word Excelsior is connected to both ever upward and Glory to the highest God as well as being
Stan Lees motto!
Stan Lee the creator of Marvels Universe.
Kind of interesting is also Spidermans position of his finger when he shoots his web as that hand sign has by some people been likened to a gesture also called Satans horns..
Googling as I type I just found an article online in which a statue in Nebrasak is accused as promoting Satanism..
The latest Doctor Strange was pretty demonic as well. After opening the Dark Hold Doctor Strange does the same gesture "Satans Horns" before he does what in the movie is called dream walking and possesses the corpse of himself in another parallel Universe in what Marvel called the Multiverse....
I am not sure what to think about all this but everyone and then I go a bit wild and watch the Marvel movies.
Christian connotations to
Googling in search for the meaning of the word Excelsior I came across the book titled
Excelsior
By E. James Dickey. (2018) available at google books in the link below.
Dickey is a Christian minister who in his search of the meaning of the word found that the Latin meaning of the word Excelsior is ever upward (Dickey Preface).
Dickey writes that he believes the meaning of this existence is to find that which leads ever upwards. (Dickey Preface).
I am not affiliated with any church nor Imperial Nutrition but rather than trying to fight age too violently and build muscle I feel its time to try and build my minds muscle
I am open an interested in wisdom from any spiritual paths. I have had a love of Eastern spirituality and actually it was the Indian yogi Yoganandas commentary on the New Testament that kind of opened my mind to that book as well.
It is not just the words written but how they are interpreted.
For the person who questions life in the world of the twenty-first century and who struggles within themselves, this book named Excelsior sheds new light. More than an extended autobiography, this writing by E. James Dickey provides insight into everyday issues that can be found within the...

Gonna go and keep having an Excelsior day. Besides it fucing up my heart a bit what I enjoy the most with Excelsior is how it inspires me remembering making connections etc..
And **** its been on my list but I should really learn to dictate and save time. I got a few stories I would love to share.
Also been reading the original Tarzan novel this summer and it inspired me to swim across this forest lake and more and also watching a lot of BBC nature documentaries about monkeys and more but I understand that we as body builders come from the monkeys and sometimes a male by just looking karge and intimidating enough can scare away an opponent.
Not that we hopefully are that threatened in our daily lives but it is within our genes.
Women though, at least my wife she really is an amazing being. When I mess up my stomach with eating chips in the middle of the night, failed diet attempt and I wake up like sleep walking zombie looking for fats and sugar lol
After being sick though I see I am losing weight and even during fat and I ask her how l look physically she is sensible enough to care about what really matters for well and asks how my stomach feels Lol.
Okay folks so I just used one hour of my Excelsior power to read up and type this Lol.
That book is looking pretty good in my eyes and also writes about how we learn from our mistakes and we also have the possibility to learn from watching other peoples mistakes.'
But I guess its not gonna stop any of you from drinking Excelsior reading my confession of becoming both maniac but also in search of truth and striving ever up and above!
I actually do feel my dumbbells calling me and I am literally sitting right in the middle of my own gym and spiritual station as well as the birthplace and life of muscleman.
I got really annoyed when some gym staff in a sports club told me I could not use weight plates when doing situps! Had just been watching Dexter Jacksons video Unbreakable and drank some Hemo Rage Ultra in 2011.
I think staff were worried I would drop it on my toes and their insurance wouldn't cover such wild use of weights! Lol Or maybe they were worried about heir floor.
So that got me buying my own little station bench with pulling cables to be used for lat or rowing or triceps push or whatever and adjustable dumbbell sets.
Only got the bench and dumbbells now trying to get back to push ups as an amazing upper body exercise for short work out.
Keep aiming ever up and beyond!
Muscleman almost about to turn into Musclemind
