I’d like to introduce you to Keith, the mountain man…
No, he isn’t an actual banjo plucking, harmonica tootin’ hillbilly, (at least I don’t think he is…)
You see, when I call Keith a ‘mountain man,’ it’s in reference to his physical appearance. The man’s literally built like one…
He isn’t a vertical wonder. But does he ever make up for it in sheer thickness and mass.
In a way, Keith’s a bit of a paradox because he can be considered a ‘small man.’ He’s only 5’7”. But like many things in life, one data point rarely tells the whole story, and oftentimes it can mislead you…
For those who don’t know, Mr. Wassung has managed to pack 242 lbs of living steel onto his frame. So a ‘small man’ he is not…
But things haven’t always been this way for Keith…
In fact, at one point he was the smallest kid in his class. He only weighed 93 lbs in his freshman year of high school.
And don’t think that this went unnoticed…
One of his coaches recommended that he stick with calisthenics. He feared Keith might injure himself using weights.
Thing is, Keith grew up on a farm. And farm life means days filled with manual labor and honest toil, a blessing in disguise.
Why a blessing?
Because it develops a work ethic second to none.
And if there’s one thing a person needs to develop the strength to Squat 710 lbs, Deadlift 665 lb, Bench 480 lbs, and Overhead Press 340 lb (Keith’s lifting stats) it’s plenty of old fashioned, get down and dirty, work ethic…
Why do I bring all of this up?
Because I quoted Keith a few days back regarding a person’s pressing potential.
————————————-
There’s a lot more to the story than this. But we’re gonna approach the length of an encyclopedia if we don’t cut it off now…
Keep your eyes peeled for part two, I’ll be sending it out first thing tomorrow morning…
Until then,
Train Smart, Train Hard
