Hail to the Dinosaurs!
There's a really bad joke that's been
around for years. It contains an important
message for lifters, so I thought I'd share
it with you.
Q. How do you eat an elephant?
A. One bite at a time.
In strength training, the question and answer
is different, but the message is ALWAYS the
same.
It might go like this:
Q. How do you squat 500 pounds?
A. One pound at a time.
Or this:
Q. How do you 20 reps in the squat with 300
pounds?
A. One rep at a time.
Or like this:
Q. How do I carry this heavy sandbag all the way
around the block and back?
A. One step at a time.
There are countless variations, but I'm sure you
get the idea.
Now, here's the important part.
That very first step is always the most important.
Not the final step. Not the day you hit that 500
pound squat. It's the day you START.
And if you started awhile back but you've been
drifting along and not really going anywhere, do this.
Start over.
Make today the very first day of your training career.
Elephant. Knife. Fork. Start now.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great day --
and if you train today, make it a good one.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
