Primal: Weak Is The New Strong?

DateMonday, September 3, 2012 at 16:09 | by AuthorDarryl Edwards
For the person who private messaged me today and said I looked really weak.  Well I am weak enough to do this --> http://youtu.be/eE1O9lOdQU0 (the above video) and I am even weaker now with my current deadlift 1RM of 220kg (485lb).
 
My goal is 227.5kg (500lb).

The reason I mention this is because I always used to think of myself as quite a weak guy - not old-fashioned strong like my Dad used to be.  

8 years ago I could only deadlift 70kg (154lb).  Now I realise I can be as strong as I want (and need to be) by removing the self-imposed constraints I applied to myself - without any artificial help, without being genetically-gifted and without sacrificing my health in the process.  

So to "private message guy" if I am still really weak then I am ok with that.  I used to be much weaker...
