Week 2- Solomon Holzhauer- Lifting

 


Lifting is a lifestyle, it has been a thing since before I was born where people started around the ages of when I first started training. People started lifting weights for different reasons, to better their physique because they didn’t like how they looked to start. Either it would be they were too skinny or too fat, like me I didn’t like the way I looked. Nowadays, it hasn’t really changed in that perspective. Some people that my generation looks up to in the lifting fitness industry are people like David Laid, Chris Bumstead, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and  Aziz Shavershian, depending on the dream physique each person looked up to. These people would give us, and still give us the motivation and determination to push ourselves to the limit to get to our ideal physiques, and to be the best we can be, like Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.” I really relate to this quote by putting 100% into lifting because it is something I love and that I am very passionate about. Once you start lifting, you will never want to go back, especially after seeing results it's actually addicting. The good thing about this too, is because it is something healthy and really good for you, you are actually benefiting and better yourself the more you are consistent with it.

What is something you are passionate about? Do you put 100% into this?

    I am passionate about theater and always put in as much effort as I can both on and off stage. From what you have said, having a person to look up to really helps you improve and continue your journey.

    I can relate to this heavily. Though I am not quite as passionate about lifting as you, I don't know what I would do without the gym. It really is a place where you can let out your energy, and notice results. I try to put in 100% effort every time as well, and it has paid off, as I am seeing results.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
