The Super Mario School of Brute Strength
It’s chilly up here in Mile High today.
But sunny and hey great food is right around the corner…
Reminds me of rushing home from school cold Friday evenings STOKED because my friend finalllllly got Super Mario Brothers 3 for Nintendo.
Yes, Nintendo.
(Sadly if you’re 18 or younger its probably a foreign word.)
Sure we could have played outside like Mom said…
but hey…
the Princess wasn’t going to save herself!
And in THOSE days of gaming… it was all or nothing!
No saving your place.
You had to knock out the whole game in one sitting.
Or… START ALL OVER next time.
Clean slate, all previous progress erased like an etch-a-sketch tossed around in a dryer.
Course, a couple years later along came SAVE points where you could stop the game, and pick back up later, right where you left off.
Made progress realistic because now you could tackle the game in lil chunks.
Bit by bit.
Would you agree that’s much simpler and a BIG time saver?
It might surprise you…
but tons of guys STILL try the SUPER MARIO method for achieving their ‘leveled up’ Spartan body.
Hit the gym, throw some weights around, feel good about ‘doing something’.
Rinse, repeat.
Months go by and seasons change…
but strangely enough their body doesn’t.
Cuz they’re not making strength progress.
Like I teach in A Spartan Rises.
Guarantees you’re getting stronger every week.
Just like Jay L. discovered.
Was on a call with him yesterday and he was raving because his bench press was up 45 pounds.
Danggg.
How would you look if you benched 45 or even 20 more pounds that you do now?
How do you think you’d feel possessing that much additional strength?
Like a… BOSS.
Hey, not saying being weak is the devil.
You should always do what’s right for you.
But me? I’ll stick with getting stronger and better every day.
