About me: 31 years young from Czechia, software engineer, curious about how to live better and simpler life.
Background: Chinese martial arts (Lok Yiu Wing Chun practitioner), long term (8 years roughly) follower of @Pavel Macek, his schools and teachings, which brough me to StrongFirst.
In those eight years I have learned a lot, be it movement related (mobility, flexibility, strength training (mostly kettlebells)), effective breathing, chinese longevity practices, nutritional guidelines. .. and I tried to use this "mass" of knowledge to somehow design my minimum effective dose regimen that would follow verified routines. Simply said get the most out of the experience of others. In the end, however, I ended up creating something far too complex to follow regularly, which ultimately led to me not following what I set myself, being disappointed and thus failing my long term goals.
Program: The Forge
Goals and expectations: I am looking at The Forge as a very necessary reset for me in order to set my exercise/lifestyle priorities straight, which leads to several expectations. First thing is that I want to refresh stuff I already know, as big part of the program is nothing new to me, just a bit rusty. I am also very keen to learn the new stuff that I do not have experience with yet. But my most important goal is to find my minimum effective dose of habits, practices and exercises to improve my general wellbeing and physical prowess that would not take all my free time to keep following.
Mid term goals: Getting back on track to being better me, start Simple&Sinister program again, perhaps complete Simple standard by the end of this year/start of next - already did it in the past and my body still remembers quite a lot from it.
Long term goals: Most of all helping others live better lives through becoming the best version of myself that I can be - leading by example. I want to reach Sinister standard and complete Beast Tamer challenge. Thinking of SFG certification (and others) and opening my own school of strength.
Other hobbies and interests: reading both educative books and fantasy novels, learning to play piano, computer graphics.
