I guess sikh sangats the place for you to come and crack your jokes and take out your stress on guys who are looking around for some genuine tips . You are the sort of people who discourage others from coming out with their questions , however stupid the quests might be and learn from others .i guess i need to soften my stand a bit but i am just being Frank regarding what i feel about someone spamming on a thread that i started with a serious intent . . I guess i am mature enough to take your jokes with a Pinch of Salt

Thanks for being so Kind and Helpful

aaw sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. Otherwise i would have just said the joke and nothing else. I did try to explain what the shoulder press was. I was just trying to be funny, sorry didn't mean to offend you. Sometimes jokes don't work on the internet, because you can't use any expressions. Plain old text just makes things ambigious sometimes, It was just a lighhearted joke, don't take too much into it. The absurdity of it, was what was supposed to be funny. Sorry, i am an <banned word filter activated>.

Traditionally the Singhs would do daily dynamic body excercises, with main emphasis on Dand Behtaks (Squatting and Dive Bomb Pressups) which adds natural weight and strength to a person. The more the better, but the aim is to do at least 3000 squats a day and 1000 dive bomb pressups, combined with a regime of stretching to build up the tendons in the body rather then muscle, improving flexibility and agility. Core muscle groups like the back, stomach and legs were built up so that horse riding and marching could be withstood, combined with a good diet.

Weights were used but not as much as the wrestlers as the Singhs would ride horses so they cudnt afford to keep too much mass on them. All this was combined with hours of swordsmanship practise, sparing, and meditation to focus the mind.

3000 squats a day and 1000 dive bomber pushups . Yo .I guess this should be all they managed to take time out for in a day . I manage 500 squats in 15 minutes . 3000 should take at least 2 hours . and 1000 pushups should take an hour too. I know Frank Ross manages to do this much .

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
