who am I?
Hi! This is Pablo.
I'm a fortynager Computer Systems Engineer from Galicia (Spain). I'm currently working as a High/Technical school (computing) teacher.
I'm a firm believer that age doesn't define you, and health+attitude is the true key for a fullfish life. Thus, I try to make the most of my life: studying, sport training, motorcycle travelling, and searching for new vital experiencies and interests to learn about.
In this personal web, I simply share my passion about motolife, sport, and photography.

moto life
For me, motorcycle riding is living. And one of the very last redoubt of freedom remaining today.
It's all about accepting the risks to keep your independence. It's about to resign from comfort and learn to enjoy the cold, the heat, and fighting with the wind to get in exchange the most intensity of your travel. It's like a punch on the table saying
'I'm still alive and kicking, not like you, f*cked lambs in the herd!'.
And when I discovered it, there was no way back.

video
These are not just simple videos. These are moments of joy my life.
Moments when I chose to live, and not just to pass trough life.
curated playlists
It's all about giving giving you the appropiate atmosphere to put you in the correct mindset. Because it's not the same a day in the freeway crossing a country, than a fast ride for joy, than having to arrive ASAP to some place.
So here you have 8 playlists, for 8 "situations", permanently updated and improved, that work for me.
photography
D90
My almost 15 year old reliable Nikon is still pushing beautiful shots so I keep it ready for a ride, and often is my primary option for landscapes and architecture shots.
Nikkon 18-20mm VRII f/3.5-5.6 (all-terrain)
Nikon 50mm f/1.4 (portrait)
Tokina 11-16mm f/2 (ultra-wide)
X-100V
The X100v made me to rediscover the joy of carrying a camera and rapidly became my prefered partner for street and travel photography, especially by its stunning colors output.

mind & body
Age doesn't define you
Of course age will bring biological changes and limitations, but you can often see how people with the same age have very different physical capabilities. So age, as a number itself, is not the point. Your physical form and your attitude are.
You choose your life quality
Unavoidable illness apart, nothing will have more positive impact in the quality of your ederly life than keeping your muscles strong. It's the key to your future autonomy, and being able to continue doing the things you like.
Health is ethically mandatory
In my opinion: doing the possible to keep you healthy, trying not to be a load for your loved ones in the future, and strong enough to be able to protect/take care of them if needed; it's a personal duty. And if nothing of this is important for you, then you're an egoist.
Think it in probabilistic terms
In the "bad lottery" you already have some tickets you cannot avoid: genetic heritage, pollution in your area, social eating habits, or simply bad luck. They're unavoidable. But you can choose to live a healthy life, or just let more tickets to arrive, increasing your probabilities.
mindset
I have now a pretty clear vision of life and society. And it's mostly not good.
We're now almost living in a distopy where most of the people just want to get said what is good and bad, what to think, and what to do. There's a huge amount of people which prefer not to analyze, to reflect, to THINK. They just want to accepted in the herd and be told what good lambs they are.
training
Training any sport is about discipline. About trying to improve and learning to enjoy the effort and suffering on the way. Motivation is a false idol. It comes and go. When motivation fails, discipline -if you built it- will be there to get the job done.
routines
Life is unpredictable. Perhaps one day you have to hang from a balcony, push a car, or run for your life. And no comfortable bench, ergonomic grip, or power drink will be there.
That's why I like to work out in a flexible and functional way. I want only useful and polivalent muscle. The rest is ballast.
In addition to this, coming martial arts, my interests are more on being explosive, flexible, having good endurance, rather than powerlifting or just being bulked.
So I normally train with little to zero planning, in a LowerBody / UpperBody / Bagwork basis, little rest, and prefering complex/fullbody free weight exercises rather than isolating muscles.
diet
No diet. No supplementation.
I don't count calories or macros, but I actively try to avoid sugar and artificial ingredients.
I just eat real food in an equilibrated way. Fish, vegetables, and fruit sum easily the 75% of my intake. I avoid fried/ultra-processed/artificial things and sugared drinks.
I always look for local seasonly products, and this includes beer and wine.

are you interested in computing/coding?
As a High/Technical School teacher, I run a separate web (in Galician langage) for sharing curious or funny personal computing projects with my students. So, if you are into this...
