The Daily Experience 3/14/14
The Dead LiftIn life, we have to be able to pick stuff up, and if we find ourselves at some point not being able to-- then we will more than likely be in a wheel chair, which is why we should learn how to pick stuff up properly, and be strong in doing so. I wanna be 85 and still throwing a 60 lb pack on my back and hiking into the back country of Yellowstone with my grand kids, and I will as long as keep staying strong in the low bar and the dead lift.The flabby posterior chain is not what we promote having in WAR. We don't care about having those hollywood abs and pecks, but we only care about how strong our back, ass, quads and hamstrings are. Our legs are what move and help us to create for ourselves. Life is all about creating and making shit happen. We need our legs so that we can create.We need to be able to create physical experiences for us and our kids; we need to be able to move that heavy rock in our yard; we need to be able to run a 5k for charity; we need to be able to mtn bike, ski, hunt, and fish; we need to be able to protect ourselves and our family from danger; we need to be able to save that kitten who is caught in a tree:)--as I'm sure you now get the point.We need our legs and posterior chain to be strong....Post your thoughts to comments...Remote ProgramCLEARA.
