Powerful Words
One of my favorite excuses from the Mediocre Army when defending their crappy numbers when compared to strong lifters is, “If I didn’t have a job and lifting was my job, I’d be that strong too!” No you wouldn’t. You’d be playing Xbox all day, engrossed in reality TV, and sleeping until noon. You’re weak because you’re weak.
The truth of the matter is, with very few exceptions, all those bodybuilders we grew up idolizing spent years building a foundation of strength to get their physiques.
The strength you develop performing deadlifts has significant positive transfer to almost every other lift you do in the gym.
