Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Here's one from a couple of years ago,
bit it's gray and gloomy today, so it's
worth remembering it.
Wet, Cold, Gray and Gloomy - But
It's A Training Day!
I type my daily emails in my second floor
study, looking out into a nearby park. On
a sunny day, it's beautiful, with golden
rays of light dancing on the trees, the
grass and the leaves.
But today's not sunny and bright.
It's mid-November, and it's wet, cold,
gray and gloomy.
But that doesn't matter.
I looked out the window, and I thought:
"Today's a training day! What a great day
it's going to be!"
And that's part of the magic of strength
training.
After you do it for awhile, strength training
becomes a regular part of your life. More
than that, it becomes a part of your life
that gives meaning to everything else.
For example, think about this: If someone
asked you to describe yourself in just ONE
word, what would your answer be?
For many of us, it would be:
Weightlifter.
Or powerlifter.
Or strongman.
Or bodybuilder.
Or Harry Paschall's old favorite -- "Iron Slinger"
(which is two words, but it's a great phrase,
so let's use it anyway).
Heck, some of us might even say "Dinosaur."
And even if your first response to the question
is "parent" or "father" or "husband" or a
word that defines your job or your profession,
if we let you list a couple of more terms I'm
pretty sure that one of them would speak to
your passion for strength training.
The point is, strength training defines who we
are and what we do -- and how we approach
life.
And yes, it's wet, cold, gray and gloomy today.
But it's a training day, and that means it's
going to be a great day!
As always, thanks for reading and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a
good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
