Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Trudi and I celebrated Thanksgiving
by going to the movies -- and we saw
"Creed."
Spoiler alert -- it's a "Rocky" film. And
a good one. In fact, it may be the best
in the series since the original "Rocky."
It stars Sylvester Stallone as Rocky --
but in this film, an old, gray, grizzled
Rocky isn't boxing. Instead, he's training
the son of his one-time rival, Apollo
Creed.
As I said, it's a terrific film -- and well
worth watching.
Rocky's been a friend for a long time.
The original film came out in 1976. So
that makes 39 years of "Rocky" films.
Thirty-nine years of great memories --
and hundreds of great workouts with
the "Rocky" theme ("Gonna Fly Now")
or "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the
background.
There was a time back in the 1980's
when that was all you heard while you
were training. The gyms played it non-
stop.
That was fine by me.
Heck, I still train to the "Rocky" music.
I play the soundtrack to "Rocky Balboa"
while I train out in the garage.
There's three of us: me, the barbell,
and Rocky. Three old friends.
Today's a workout day. If you're in the
neighborhood, you'll hear the "Rocky"
theme at about 6:00 -- and not much
later, you'll hear the sound of an old
guy tossing some heavy iron.
That's the way it's been for a long time
now -- and that's the way it's going to
be for a whole lot longer. I don't plan on
stopping anytime soon -- and I don't
plan on changing my music.
As always, thanks for reading and have
a great day. If you train today, make it
a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
