Terrible posture was the most important thing to correct here before we could start to pack on the muscle!

Comparison of where I was 2 years ago vs now.

So after much pondering, well months if not years considering the good and bads of cutting my hairs ✂️

 

I'm everevolving, so when you feel it I think it's natural to change hairstyle too.

 

I usually cut my hairs by myself, but this time having long hairs, it was complex on the sides and back, so I asked my brother Denis De Iacovo to help me out.

 

He shoot the pics too

 

The choice was made and the scissors and clipper ✂️ were unleashed.

 

It's a variation based on the classic disconnected undercut, the back end is V shaped like a mohawk.

 

In the end I like the result a lot, after leaving my hair long for so much years I wasn't sure to look better, but I do, at least in my eyes.

 

I left them long enough on the top I'm able to style em in different ways.

 

Have a wonderful day

Surma or suri is a sedentary pastoral tribe living in south west ethiopia, in omo valley on the western bank of the omo river, in kibish and tulgit areas;

only few surma are familiar with amharic, ethiopiaâs official language, and the literacy level is very low; lip plate and donga stick fights are the two typical distinctive features of these people, shared with the neighbouring mursi people;

The Bodi (or Meen) tribe lives close to the Omo River in southern Ethiopia (Omo Valley) and has the Mursi tribe as south neighbor and Konso at north; It is a pastoral and agricultural tribe, thus livestock plays a large role in the tribe; Along the banks of the river, they cultivate sorghum, maize and coffee;

For their new year in June, called Kael, Bodi men consume large amounts of blood and milk to become overweight;Â This tradition measures the body fat of a contestant; Each family or clan is allowed to present an unmarried contestant;Â The winner of this contest is awarded great fame by the tribe;Â The women in the tribe wear goatskin skirts and have a plug inserted into their chin; Most of them are now Christians;

In Hana Mursi, the main town of the Bodis, the government plans to settle 300 000 people from all over Ethiopia over the next few years; Along with the workers and soldiers, AIDS and Hepatitis B are coming too; The Bodi tribespeople do not want to give up their traditions and their land to allow the new sugar cane plantations irrigated by the water of Gibe 3 dam, and live in the settlements planned by the government; If the Konso tribe attempts to set foot on their land with the support of the government, clashes will erupt as the Bodi elders predict;

Emilia Romagna is still in red zone till Easter, so there is no better time to bother Denis for some new pics 😅 💀.

 

On this one I'm sitting on my Ikea chair I use when on PC, love it ❤

 

Someone may notice a bit more belly now 😅 in the pics, still a lot more slender than years ago

 

It's because of my winter diet, but now thanks to it and the training schedules I finally reached the goal of having at least 40cm or 16in biceps so it worked.

 

I will burn the belly with my trusty jumping rope, and with the new schedules I will get back my flat belly( not the six pack 🐢 but flat) and keep the muscle gained .

 

By the way I gained a lot of muscle on the legs too so I'm happy 😁

 

Have a wonderful day

The society of the Hamar tribe of the Omo Valley (Ethiopia) consists in a complex system of age groups with complicated rituals to pass from one to the other; The bull-jumping is the final test before passing into adulthood and getting married;

Before the jump, the women of the jumperâs family are whipped to blood to prove their courage and accompany him during the test;

The whipper running the bull jumping is called maze; Mazes are single men who have already performed bull jumping; They are hired to whip the women during the ceremony and earn goats and money as a salary; Mazes survive on payments received for these ceremonies; They only feed themselves with milk, honey and meat; Once they get married, they get a dowry and some land if they are lucky; The Mazes take part to the eldersâ meeting before the ceremony;

The cow jumping or bull leaping consists in walking naked over bulls without falling; Once this is done, the boy becomes a man and is able to get married; Any boy who fails will be publicly humiliated, whipped by his female relatives and teased, insulted and beaten by both men and women for the rest of his life

When the Surma shepherds leave their village, they paint their bodies like for a camouflage;

Like their neighbours, the Surma, living in Omo valley, Ethiopia, paint their bodies; They create a variety of designs on their naked bodies using their fingertips, which helps exposing their dark skins and aims at beautifying themselves and frightenning their opponents; Surma men, generally believed to be expert artists, also paint the girls;

Surma or Suri is a sedentary pastoral tribe living in south west Ethiopia, in Omo Valley on the western bank of the Omo River, in Kibish and Tulgit areas;

Itâs quite common to see men and women carrying Kalashnikovs, which are part of the daily life; Their land has always been a place of traditional rivalries amoung neighbouring tribes such as the Bume (Nyangatom) or the Toposa from Sudan who regularly team up to raid on their cattle; These fights have become quite bloody since automatic firearms have become available during in the Sudanese Civil War;

Only few Surma are familiar with Amharic, Ethiopiaâs official language, and the literacy level is very low; Lip plate and Donga stick fights are the two typical distinctive features of these people, shared with the neighbouring Mursi people;

The land of the Suri, in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia, is being stolen by the Ethiopian government to be rented to foreign companies; They are then rented out for 1 euro per hectare and per year

This is a chart of how my body has changed from roughly the last year (25 July 2008 - 22 July 2009)

 

As you can see I had fairly steady and rapid weight loss through calorie restriction for the first 7 months. I added resistance training to maintain muscle during the cutting period and continued it into the stabilization period. I have now been at my target weight range for 5 months and it is much easier to maintain and have a real life.

 

My summary of the first years change is at my Question Fit Blog

I don't usually do self-portraits but today is special since it has been one year since I started my fitness journey.

No I didn't write a book but this pic would be perfect for it, I like it especially as a profile photo 😎.

In the next days I'll upload the others.

The Hamar (Hamer, Hammer) tribe is about 35,000 people, living in Hamer Bena woreda, a fertile part of the Omo River valley, in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR) in Ethiopia; Itâs a pastoral tribe, placing a high value on cattle; At least 27 words are used to qualify the variations of colours and textures of cattle! Each man has a human, a goat and a cow name;

Honey collection is their major activity; They are also semi nomadic and migrate every few months to find pastures; They share a common language and culture with the Bana-Bashada; The society consists in a complex system of age groups with complicated rituals to pass from one to the other; The bull-jumping is the final test before passing into adulthood and getting married;

The Hamar have spectacular wooden headrests used to prevent the hair from touching the ground and to protect the clay wig that some wear; It is also used as a seat; Women dress their hair in short tufts rolled in ochre and fat or in long twisted strands; These strands, called "goscha" are a sign of health and welfare;â¨They also wear bead necklaces, iron bracelets, and decorate their breast with cowry shells; Married women wear "esente" around their necks, torques made of iron wrapped in leather; These are engagement presents, worn for life and indicating their husband's wealth; One of the necklaces is called the "bignere"; It has a phallic-shaped end; A manâs first wife only can wear this jewellery; Her status is the higher one in Hamer society; The second wifes are more slaves than wives;

The young unmarried girls wear a kind of oval metal plate used like a sunshield; It tends to be rare in the tribe;
