Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I got this off another list and just had to share: Brett ________________________________ From: Supertraining Members may enjoy reading the following poem taken from Casey Butt's old website: <<Squatter's Poem This is a poem by Dale that first appeared in the March 1983 issue of IronMan magazine - though I originally happened across it in a Fred Hatfield article, some years ago. I thought it so beautifully summed up a productive weight training attitude that I had to include it here. Maybe there is something to be learned from poetry after all. Down the road in a gym far away, A young man was heard to say, " My legs won't grow, no matter what I do! " He tried leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses too. Trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do. From the corner of the gym where the big guys train, Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain, Where the big iron rides high and threatens lives, Where the noise is made with big forty-fives, A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees, A very big man with legs like trees, Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack, Chalked his hands and monstrous back, Said, " Boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten, Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'!
