Here is my son Gabriel. He is 7 years old and tips the scale at a whopping 50 pounds. Below is a photo I snapped of Gabe deadlifting 70 lbs. That’s just shy of 1.5 x his bodyweight.
I know that you think that it is only due to him being gifted with superhuman strength due to his superior genetic line. Yup, that’s it.
Just kidding.
It is just because kids are (relatively) strong and strength is something we lose as we sit on our fat butts as we get older.
Imagine this: Someone runs up to you and kicks you square in the jewels (or anywhere for that matter) and says “Congratulations, You just won a million dollars!”
Yeah, that would be a really bad way to get good news. The good news about that bad blow is that that particular story is completely made up. (Although I would have to give serious consideration to a million dollars vs. a kick to my boys. I mean, I am done having kids…)
But I digest.
So here is an absolutely true story of a REALLY bad way to get good news.
This past weekend I was at a trainer conference in Newport Beach. This is where top trainers from across the globe (and me) gather to talk about all things fitness. This was limited to an elite 40 trainers (and again, me) who are a pretty brainy bunch, but things can get a little juvenile at times.
Yes indeed, my kind of group.
At one point early on in the weekend there was a crowd gathering around one of my trainer buddies, Steve, and laughing hysterically. Steve is usually a pretty funny guy anyway, but I had to see what was going on.
