Do you remember some of your first days in the gym?
When a friend, parent, sibling or just some random person would help you work out and show you what to do when you had no clue?
I was reminded of that exact thing today.
I was warming up to deadlift with 225 on the bar, which I normally do for a few sets of 15 reps before I get into my heavy work.
Now my gym only has two squats racks mind you and someone was curling in the other.
A guy I never knew came up to me and asked if he could deadlift with me.
Of course I said yes because after all, it's not everyday that someone actually wants to deadlift plus I knew it would cause me to train harder.We got to talking and he told me he was a trainer at a local gym.
We began encouraging each other as we put more weight on the bar
315..375 and so on....
So we both finish our sets and move on to the rest of our workouts.Now this was on MLK day so virtually no one was working and there was no school so a bunch of high school kids were working out.
I looked over at the squat rack from the other side of the gym to see one of three kids about to deadlift.He pulled what was a very bad looking rep then put the bar on the floor.
At this point the guy who I deadlifted earlier put down his dumbbells and started giving the kids pointers on how to deadlift correctly.
10 minutes..15 minutes.. He just spent time teaching..
Now how much better are those kids now that they had advice from someone who knew more and had better form?
How much are their workouts going to improve?
How might their lives change for the better?
I know mine did when I was that age and someone helped me and turned on the switch that made me believe training was the coolest thing in the world.That made me a college athlete and gave me a career that has me known around the world, in multiple magazines each month and most importantly allows me to give back to help others.
Just the other day a 17 year old kid emailed me a passionate long email and left his phone number.
You better believe I called him back ASAP to help him.
