I know! I know! I thought within my pod. It was an odd sensation to be yelling with your thoughts alone.
Armour plating at 47% capacity. Please engage repairs. Retreat recommended. Aura stated calmly in my mind. Continue reading

It had made sense when I retired from the militia to just continue leasing the hangar I had made use of during my time of service. It was one of the perks offered when honourably discharged, and it was a lot easier than moving my stuff.
The only problem I hadn’t forseen was that I would no longer have use of the militia support staff… Continue reading
Now it’s my turn to blame people. After doing the first 4 Minutes of Hell video, I was so pumped and charged I had to do two more! Of course, looking at the raw footage of the third one, I realize that I have a lot of work to do as a video host, and that one will need to be redone completely. Boo.
In the meantime, let’s talk pushups. Continue reading
A few weeks ago on Twitter, #tweetfleet member @lostoffworld blamed me for her sore legs. Now of course, being the man I am, I had to tell her all the ladies say that, but she was referring specifically to the spin classes she had started taking at her local fitness facility as a result of all my talk about pushing our own workouts to the next level.
It would appear that my “Push it til you puke” mentality has become infectious amongst many of New Eden’s capsuleer community, and quite frankly, I couldn’t be more proud. Continue reading
What a night! Starfleet Comms and Voices from the Void in one fun filled evening! It’s my own fault of course; I had double booked. Thankfully, both show hosts were incredibly gracious and we ended up doing back to back interviews.
Gavin Phoenix has been a fan, and a friend, for a long while. He’s been nothing but supportive of everything I do, and even has encouraged my wife on her blog over at www.farahtheiqbal.com (yeah, she doesn’t post often, I know). Continue reading
Harlon, Daemeon, and more to follow I’m sure. What do they have in common? Public accountability. Each has looked at where they are and not been satisfied. Each has begun the journey of self improvement. Each has stepped forward and said “Roc, I’m going to be held accountable for myself.” Each has shown commitment, discipline, dedication and balls of steel.
I mentioned in the recent Voices from the Void podcast interview that something I have personally struggled with is showing my own beginnings, showing my Day 0 picture. It’s vanity, pure and simple. Will the ladies be disappointed if they see the real me? Will the men criticize, laugh, insult?
Roc Wieler is a hard image to live up to.
So this morning I manned up. This morning I took pictures of where I am today as compared to where I was then. Even though I am my own harshest critique; even though I still have much further to go in my own journey of self-improvement, I have to walk the walk.
Consider this my public accountability. Continue reading
One of the toughest things for any of us is to hold ourselves accountable to others. There’s a whole “team shame” mentality about it because we’re honestly used to failing ourselves, and we’ve developed strong mechanisms for rationalization, but letting down others isn’t something any of us should be comfortable with.
I put out a Day 0 post for Harlon Mathuin not too long ago. Harlon is continuing to work strong, and I’m looking forward to his three month update. Someone else inspired by Harlon’s public accountability is Daemeon, who was also doing his due diligence in the TRX 21 day challenge I posted a while back. Continue reading
Let me tell you that if there’s anything harder than gaining healthy muscle mass, it’s maintaining healthy muscle mass. You scrutinize everything you eat, questioning “How does this benefit me?” You become a predator on the hunt for more protein in any form; you simply cannot consume enough.
Today’s recipe is to try to give us a healthy, delicious tasting meal that delivers over 70g of protein per serving! Sweet damn that’s good! Continue reading
I’ve always enjoyed interviews. Not just for the publicity, nor for the arrogance that I get to be the center of attention once again for the duration of the podcast, but simply because I enjoy intelligent banter.
Voices from the Void provided that in abundance. They aren’t like one of those morning shows I’ve done where my entire guest appearance is a ten minute segment on the best way to cook eggs in zero gravity, but rather a genuine interest in me as a person, a personality, an icon, and a target for Hallan Turrek’s quick wit. Continue reading
Something that always amazes me is the excuses we’ve all made when it comes to healthy eating:
It’s too expensive.
We discussed that one HERE
It takes too long to prepare healthy food.
We discussed that one HERE
I’m really just a lazy fat ass that could care less
Well, you’ve come to the right place. I care. My readers care. Maybe someone will motivate you enough to start caring about yourself. Continue reading
