Hail to the Dinosaurs!
One of our longtime Dinos was training the
other day at a commercial gym and noticed
a guy who was doing the cell-phone workout.
You may have seen it sometime.
1. Do set of bench presses, squats, curls or
any other exercise.
2. Sit down on bench.
3. Pick up cell-phone.
4. Talk on cell-phone, look at Instagram, Facebook
or YouTube -- or the news scroll -- or Twitter -- or
whatever -- for 2 or 3 minutes.
5. Do next set.
6. Repeat steps 2-4.
7. Continue for the entire workout.
That's the cell-phone workout. And it's probably
the most popular and widely performed workout
in the entire world.
As our Dino watched, he wondered if he should
try to help the guy.
He decided to give it a try.
"Excuse me -- but I can give you a tip that will
double or maybe even triple your results. I
mean -- if you're interested."
That caught the guy's attention.
"What is it?" he asked.
Of course, he probably thought it was roidskies. Or
the latest super supplement. Or maybe the latest
mega-muscle blitz blast program.
"Turn off your cell phone and don't turn it back on
until your workout is over."
The guy looked up in disbelief.
"But what will I do between sets?" he asked.
"Focus on the next set."
And then our Dino went back to his workout.
I don't know about you, but I think that was
pretty good advice. Maybe the best advice the
other guy has ever heard.
I just hope he was paying attention.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great
day. If you train today, make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

time for training -- and nothing else. Period.
End of story." -- Brooks Kubik
