| Everything worth knowing in life I learned from a barbell - or at least it seems that way. |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I had a great workout the other day. At
age soon to be 61, the workouts seem to
be more fun all the time.
That got me thinking -- and I thought:
"Everything worth knowing in life I learned
from a barbell."
Or at least it seems that way.
So here are 10 lessons I learned in the
Iron Mines. See if you learned the same
lessons:
1. It's always best to start young, but
the important thing is to start -- whatever
your age.
2. If you fall off your bicycle, get right
back on it and start pedaling again.
3. The hardest exercises are the most
productive ones.
4. It's not easy, and that's okay. In fact,
it's a good thing.
5. Make a plan and stick to it. Don't second
guess yourself into inertia.
6. Life is movement -- and the better the
movement, the better your life.
7. You build strength and muscle by what
you do, not by what you think about doing.
a. That one's important. Go back and reread
it.
8. You can't buy strength and health. You
can only earn them.
a. That one's also important.
9. The barbell doesn't lift itself.
10. If you enjoy art, practice the art of
strength training. If you enjoy science,
practice the science of strength training.
a. The important thing is to practice
strength training.
And, for a special bonus, two more:
11. Squats are zen.
12. So are deadlifts, presses, pulls, and
every other exercise you do.
As always, thanks for reading, and have
a great day. If you train today, make it
a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
