"taken yesterday and today at Gonia, Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) and Arkadi monasteries respectively. Arkadi is probably the most famous of them due to it being where hundreds of Greeks blew themselves up with gunpowder barrels rather than surrender to the Ottomans during a rebellion on Crete in 1866"

"I've been lifting for years, I can bench 225, I live alone with my girlfriend, I eat healthy, I go out in the sun (was in Crete for 10 days in September), I take care of myself, dress well and look good but none of it has been enough."
