Hey, you fit freaks! I just finished reading The Wendigo by Blackwood, Algernon. It’s a classic horror novel that I have a feeling a lot of you would appreciate. Here’s my take on this spine-tingling adventure, and how it relates to our lifestyle.
The Wendigo is a chilling story set in the Canadian wilderness. It’s a tale about a group of dudes who venture into the great outdoors to hunt moose and elk. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when they become stranded and hunted down by a mysterious creature known as the wendigo. The story is pretty slow in the beginning, but the suspense and horror build up gradually, leading to a thrilling climax.
Now, you may be wondering, “Dude, why on earth are you recommending a horror novel on a fitness blog?” Well, you see, the wendigo is an embodiment of fear. It represents the fear of the unknown, the fear of losing control, and the fear of our own primal instincts. As gym rats, we face fears too. We fear failure, injury, criticism, and of course, being small and weak. But we push through those fears, just like the characters in the book. We train hard, we eat right, and we become bigger, stronger, and more confident.
The Wendigo also raises the question of where the line between man and beast lies. The characters in the book struggle with their own inner demons and animal instincts. They’re forced to confront the primal side of themselves and make some tough decisions. In the gym, we also unleash our inner beast. We grunt, we sweat, we strain, and we push ourselves beyond our limits. We become more than just human, we become superhuman.
So, if you’re in the mood for a terrifying and thought-provoking read, I highly recommend The Wendigo. It’s a classic horror novel that will make your heart race and your muscles quiver. It’s also a reminder of why we lift weights and strive for greatness.
