Ive quoted this before, and friends have called me out for sheer crazy....but I still love it, and try to live its counter-intuitive message. Its from the introduction to a classic weight training manual called STARTING STRENGTH, by great philosopher-of-the-iron Mark Rippetoe. Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not. As humanity has developed throughout history, physical strength has become less critical to our daily existence, but no less important to our lives. Our strength, more than any other thing we possess, still determines the quality and the quantity of our time here in these bodies.....This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up.
