Wise words from a wise man... not my words

"one cannot dream of squatting 1,000lbs, a dream is just a dream. You must have a plan, a proven plan." - Louie Simmons

I just came across this quote of his the other night when I was reading some articles in the wee-hours of the morning because I had an AdvoCare Spark between 8 and 9pm that night. (But I'll leave that for my next blog which will come either tonight or tomorrow.) While in college I was a personal trainer and needed to have an e-mail contact for our company brouchures. I spent a little time trying to think of something clever and catchy while still making sense and personal to me. I came up with "lift smart... lift strong."

Those words bleed with depth if you really give them some thought. Lift smart...lift strong...lift smart...lift strong...lift smart...lift strong. If you train like a dumbass your going to set yourself up to fail. If you train correctly - if you train smart there's nothing you can't achieve. If you apply thought, theory, application, creativity, insight, history, ... to your training, in essence training smart, you will get results. You will lift strong - be strong - live strong! Going into a weight room - gym - club - whatever you call it - and working out/training should not be taken lightly but should still be fun and interesting and changing. It is something that involves dedication, discipline, hard work, sweat, a few tears, maybe some blood...and a little vomit. It takes a lot of heart and it takes a lot of brains. Lifting strong isn't just who can throw around the most weight its about learning, trying, revamping, experimenting, failing, educating, applying, teaching, helping, reviweing, and succeeding... and then repeating.


Louie Simmons has the quote "one cannot dream of squatting 1,000lbs, a dream is just a dream. You must have a plan, a proven plan."

Think about it.
