Just recently, during an Olympic weightlifting session, I listened to a sermon by Josh Howerton about the truth of hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not uncommon to listen to a podcast while lifting or working out, but not the nuts and bolts of this message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What this message is about, though, is how he introduced the sermon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What he said was that as a leader, ‘it’s our job to tell you the truth, and it’s your job to make a decision’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it got me thinking about my responsibility as a coach, a business owner, and somebody who genuinely wants to help people live longer, healthier, more capable lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an operator, you would be hard-pressed to find somebody who puts more effort into understanding what they’re saying and doing than I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I start my day reading. I spend breakfast listening. Throughout the day, I find small pockets of time to learn, research, question, and deepen my understanding of what I teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all, I spend roughly two hours every day on personal and professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, that means absolutely nothing if the point of telling you this is to convince you how awesome I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s not the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point is that I don’t think I’m that good. I think I have a responsibility to keep getting better, for myself, but also for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because if I know something that could help you live a longer, healthier, more capable life, and I choose not to share it because it might challenge your beliefs or make you uncomfortable, then I’m not doing my job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which brings me to today’s point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we do at Vasse Strength and Conditioning is what we believe to be the right way to develop genuine fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might not be your favourite way to exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might not be the easiest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It might not even be the way you want to spend your mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before you decide CrossFit isn’t for you, I want you to understand what you’re actually saying no to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because there’s a difference between exercising, burning calories, getting sweaty, and actually improving your fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if you don’t understand that difference, you might be spending a lot of time getting tired without getting genuinely fitter. You might get generally fitter, but again not genuinely fitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are five reasons why CrossFit and Vasse Strength and Conditioning provide such an effective framework for building a body that doesn’t just look fit, but is genuinely fit… And if you think otherwise, you’re wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that’s okay. \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s start with something that might challenge the way you currently think about fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CrossFit defines fitness as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sounds complicated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work capacity is your ability to do physical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broad time domains mean being able to perform that work for different lengths of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broad modal domains means being able to perform that work across different movements, activities, and physical demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put simply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fitness is your ability to do MORE work, across MORE things, for MORE lengths of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And the important word here is INCREASED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because fitness isn’t just something you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s something you should be developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can lift more weight, move faster, complete more work, or sustain effort for longer than you could six months ago, you’ve increased your fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here’s where I think the modern fitness industry has confused people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Somewhere along the way, we started measuring a workout’s quality by how exhausted it made us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much did you sweat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n How many calories did your watch say you burned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n How sore were you the next day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n How close did you come to throwing up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while those things might tell you something about the effort you put into a session, they don’t necessarily tell you whether you’re becoming fitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can burn 500 calories today and burn 500 calories again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can finish every workout lying on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can sweat through three shirts a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if your ability to perform physical work hasn’t improved, what exactly are you developing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where CrossFit’s definition matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It gives us something to measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And when we can measure something, we can develop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can improve your strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your ability to perform work across different movements and time domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we can demonstrate that improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal isn’t to leave the gym knowing how hard you worked. It’s to leave the gym knowing that the work you’re doing is making you more capable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s genuine fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we’ve established what fitness actually means, let’s talk about how we develop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CrossFit defines its methodology as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there is one word I want you to pay particular attention to when we apply that methodology at VSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RELATIVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s break that down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We expose you to different movements, loads, distances, repetitions, and time domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not because we want to surprise you every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And certainly not because we need to entertain you with something new every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But because we want to develop your ability to perform across a broad range of physical demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That doesn’t mean random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We still need structure, progression, appropriate recovery, and a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Variation provides breadth. Programming provides direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We prioritise movements that develop useful physical capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Squatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pulling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving your body through space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Movements that develop strength, coordination, power, mobility, and the ability to interact with the physical world (CrossFit has 10 general physical skills that encompass all of this; we will discuss later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don’t just want you to get better at exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want the exercise to make you better at life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the part people often misunderstand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Intensity isn’t about everybody doing the same workout at the same speed with the same weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s about working at an intensity appropriate to YOUR current ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 40-kilogram deadlift might be relatively heavy for one person and a warm-up for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 400-metre walk might be challenging for somebody returning to exercise, while another person might need to run it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The movement might change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The load might change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The repetitions might change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the intended training stimulus remains appropriate to the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And as your capacity improves, so does what you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s the point of coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to make everybody do the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But to help everybody develop the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Genuine fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s why I believe so strongly in what we do at VSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don’t just deliver workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We use a methodology to develop measurable physical capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wanting to build muscle isn’t just okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It SHOULD be one of your fitness goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting bigger arms, stronger legs, visible abs, or a physique you’re proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, I’d encourage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But why spend years building muscle that serves only one purpose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want muscle to serve three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Metabolism. Aesthetics. Athleticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Muscle is metabolically active tissue. It contributes to your resting energy expenditure, supports glucose regulation, and provides an important reserve of physical capacity as you age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It helps create a physique you’re proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, perhaps most importantly, it gives you the physical capacity to DO things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want legs that can squat, run, jump, and climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want a back that can lift, pull, carry, and support you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want shoulders that can press, stabilise, and move through a healthy range of motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want your muscles to have a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we want you to be able to perform that job for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because here’s something I’ve been thinking about as I approach 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m glad I’ve spent the last 20 years building muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m glad I’ve developed a physique I’m proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I’m even more grateful for what comes with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability to run around with my boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To lift heavy things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To say YES to life’s physical demands without questioning whether my body can do them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I want that to continue into my 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the muscle you develop should help you perform physical work for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not just increase the amount of weight you can move once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But help you move more weight, for more repetitions, across more activities, for longer periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why we combine strength training, gymnastics, weightlifting, and conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want muscle that contributes to your overall fitness rather than existing independently of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Build muscle for the mirror today. Build capability for the life you want tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don’t have to choose just one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a term in strength and conditioning called General Physical Preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In simple terms, it means developing a broad foundation of physical fitness that prepares you for a wide variety of activities and demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kind of the main point I’m trying to make in this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And where we believe genuine fitness becomes incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because life doesn’t care what your favourite exercise is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn’t care how much you bench press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn’t care what your five-kilometre time is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it certainly doesn’t care how good your abs look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life will ask you to do things you haven’t prepared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Move furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carry your kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Run after something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Help somebody who has fallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Climb a hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spend an entire day on your feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or simply get yourself off the floor when you’re 80 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And you don’t get to choose which physical skill you’ll need when that moment arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why CrossFit aims to develop ten general physical skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These skills contribute to your ability to perform work across different physical demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But developing them isn’t about ticking ten boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s about improving the capacity of the person who possesses them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine somebody who can snatch their bodyweight and run ten kilometres on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s an impressive demonstration of strength, power, coordination, endurance, and stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here’s the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don’t need to snatch your bodyweight or run ten kilometres to benefit from the philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your version might be a 40-kilogram snatch and a five-kilometre run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or your first unassisted squat and a walk around the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal isn’t to achieve somebody else’s standard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s to keep expanding your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the more capable you become, the more options you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want you to be strong enough to lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fit enough to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mobile enough to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coordinated enough to adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And physically prepared enough to handle the unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We train for survival, with a touch of thriving.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like life some days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Survival is being physically capable of meeting the demands of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thriving is having enough capacity left over to enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s being able to say YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes to the family adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes to the hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes to the sporting event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes to trying something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes to another decade of being an active participant in your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because we don’t want you to spend the second half of your life watching everybody else do the things you wish you could still do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want you in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we want you to have the physical capacity to stay there for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s what increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains actually means when you take it out of the gym and put it into real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you first start your fitness journey, doing ANYTHING is better than doing nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walking. Running. Lifting weights. Group fitness. CrossFit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever gets you moving and keeps you consistent, DO IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because when you’re starting from very little, almost anything will make you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here’s where things get interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve written about three waves of adaptation in a previous blog, and understanding them might change how you think about your training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You start exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You get stronger. You lose some weight. Your cardiovascular fitness improves. You feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the best part?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You don’t necessarily need a sophisticated training system to achieve these results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your body is responding to a new stimulus, and almost any regular exercise can produce improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why so many different fitness systems deliver great results for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here’s the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What got you results in the beginning isn’t necessarily what will keep getting you results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually, those initial improvements slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your strength plateaus. Your fitness stops improving. The workouts that once challenged you become easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And simply showing up and doing another workout doesn’t produce the same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where progressive overload becomes important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not just lifting heavier weights, but progressively increasing your ability to perform physical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More repetitions. Greater loads. Faster times. Longer distances. Better movement quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer isn’t always to work harder. It’s to train smarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is where the system you’re following starts to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because while almost any form of exercise can get you through wave one, not every training system is designed to help you progress through wave two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your workouts are simply designed to make you sweat, burn calories, and feel exhausted, what happens when your body adapts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you just sweat more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Burn more calories?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add another session?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or does your training have a method for identifying what you need to improve and progressively developing it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where genuine fitness becomes a long-term pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal isn’t just to break through one plateau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s to build a system that lets you keep progressing for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, that doesn’t mean perfectly linear progress forever. Nobody achieves that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But a functioning training system should give you opportunities to keep developing your physical capacity as your life, goals, and abilities change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is where I believe the CrossFit methodology becomes incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because we’re not measuring progress through one exercise, one number, or one physical quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re developing work capacity across broad time and modal domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember those ten general physical skills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal is to keep developing your capability across ALL of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your strength plateaus, there may still be opportunities to improve your endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your endurance improves, we can develop your power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your power improves, we can revisit your strength, coordination, mobility, or ability to sustain effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is always something worth developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And your training system should be capable of identifying it, measuring it, and helping you improve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine you attend a group fitness class or work out three times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every session is different. Every session is challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You sweat. You burn calories. You feel fantastic afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GREAT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But six months later, can you lift more? Run further? Perform more repetitions? Complete the same workout faster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you do things you couldn’t do before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n And more importantly…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does the system you’re following have a plan to help you keep improving when those initial results slow down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because that’s the difference I want you to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At VSC, we don’t just want to get you through wave one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We want to help you navigate wave two and continue developing your physical capacity throughout wave three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why we incorporate structured strength training, Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, and cardiovascular conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s why we repeat benchmarks, measure progress, and individualise training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it’s why not every workout needs to leave you exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes the best thing you can do is lift something heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it’s developing a skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it’s moving at a controlled pace for 40 minutes, or just going for a run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes it’s recovering so you can come back stronger tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal isn’t to win today’s workout. It’s to become a fitter person over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that requires more than just a good workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It requires a functioning training system that develops all ten general physical skills and continues increasing your work capacity across broad time and modal domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because without that, you might still be fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might look great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might enjoy every session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But are you still developing genuine fitness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you building a body that can do MORE, across MORE things, for MORE years of your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s the difference between getting a workout and developing genuine fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s why we do things the way we do at VSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s what I want you to take away from all of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t believe everybody has to love CrossFit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t believe everybody has to train at VSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I certainly don’t believe somebody who chooses to run, swim, cycle, lift weights, go to another gym, or do another type of small-group training is making a bad decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plenty of ways to improve your health and fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you’ve found something you love, I genuinely hope you keep doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I do believe everybody should understand what they’re trying to achieve before deciding how they’re going to achieve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because fitness has a definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And CrossFit provides a methodology designed around developing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not random workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not sweating for the sake of sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not chasing the highest calorie burn on your watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not trying to become a professional athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And not making everybody do the same thing regardless of their ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s about using a structured, measurable, individualised approach to developing broad physical capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A body that doesn’t just look fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A body that can demonstrate its fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A body that allows you to participate in life rather than simply observe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s what we’re building at VSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And CrossFit was the catalyst for that philosophy from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don’t want to be the place you come to burn calories. We want to be the place you come to build capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you burn calories in a session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Capability is developed over a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that’s what I believe is worth pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I started this blog by telling you about my responsibility as a leader and a coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I spend time learning because I believe I’m responsible for understanding what I teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I teach because I believe you deserve to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I tell you what I believe to be true because I respect your ability to make your own decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might have read this entire blog and already decided that CrossFit isn’t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might love running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might love bodybuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might prefer training alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or you might love your current group fitness classes because they’re fun, social, and give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I genuinely hope you keep doing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because enjoying what you do is an important part of sticking with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if you’re still trying to work out what fitness should look like for you…<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re tired of starting again…<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to build muscle, improve your health, become stronger, develop your fitness, and actually understand WHY you’re doing what you’re doing…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then perhaps it’s time to experience what we do at VSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not because I want you to become a CrossFit athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But because I want you to become a more capable version of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Come and experience the difference between getting a workout and developing genuine fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hope to see you in the gym soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get after it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BECOME EXTRAORDINARY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just recently, during an Olympic weightlifting session, I listened to a sermon by Josh Howerton about the truth of hell.
