Fuckin A man!

I thought I'd share a little video I made to save an overlong post. My first introduction to strength training was when I purchased a paperback copy of 'Starting Strength'. I was 6'1 and 174lbs with a 350lb deadlift. A few years later I had managed to hit a 600lb pull. The strength I had acquired over a few years of Marks program led me to pull a 6 foot, 200lb football player from the bottom of a swimming pool and lift him on to the side unassisted. At this point I began cpr and re-started his heart after he had been hypoxic for approximately 4 minutes. After 3 days in a coma he awoke. 3 days later he left hospital fully healthy with no brain damage. The old 174lb me would have never had the physical or mental strength to deal with such a situation. So thank you for the inspiration, Rip.
