Does /arda/ lift, excercise. or train a martial art?

Your lifting has Tolkien-related reasons?

I'm a Catholic Tolkiendil so my reasons are mainly religious, but I've always considered one of my motivations the physical mastery that the heroes of Arda needed to accomplish their great feats of valour and sacrifice.

By now I am in my third year doing a weightlifting routine in a push/pull/legs split. I'm training to join the Intelligence agency of my country of origin (wich is not an english-speaker as you can see).

Also general thread to discuss routines or anything Tolkien /fit/-related.

I generally just try to keep a decent looking physique. So mainly I do cardio and a little bit of yoga. I don't specifically do it for Tolkien, but I do, however, do it out of respect for who I am. I do it for white people, for men, for Christians, etc.

I really ought to get off my ass and get fit so I can go out and have more adventures.

I've been lifting for years. I took up boxing about nine months ago. I never explicitly connected it to Tolkein. But now that I think of it, it makes sense.

I often draw on scenes from Tolkein to psych myself up for big efforts. You wanna fight Morgoth, kid? You better lift this weight. Worried about this fight? You know who wasn't worried? Fingolfin, and he fought someone way tougher.

You ever listen the Time Stands Still before a fight?
