Yeah...this is more a video on the concept of suffering, specifically shared suffering.
I sit down to discuss what I learned from both completing the Mantiou Incline, and reflecting on the whole journey. On shared pain rather than isolated pain. On mental health, and connecting with others.
Does training in Goku’s weighted clothes work for fitness, strength, and endurance? I’m an average, typical guy when it comes to fitness and strength. Here's what I have to say and what I learned.
My last video was footage of the hike up and back down the Manitou Incline wearing a 30lb vest. Click here if you missed it: youtube.com/watch?v=MKmGlMhw3zI
