Time to Get Stupid with Ben Lee

By: Ben Lee

I pride myself on being an athlete who takes an educated and intelligent approach to training. If you’ve attended any Science of Performance seminars, you’ll see the amount of research that goes into devising a proper training plan. That being said, there are times when we just need to get stupid and do work.

All too often, especially among the movement specialist crowd, we forget that lifting weights is SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFICULT. Unless you’re an extremely specialized athlete, weight room work should be uncomfortable and make you question why you’re here, and even those specialized athletes have those kinds of training sessions too.

BEST Conditioning tool you’ve never tried: The Prowler

When was the last time you had your ass kicked in training?

I’m not talking about a little huffin’ and puffin’ with a couple tender muscles the next day; I’m talking some next level business. How about being unable to stand up because your legs feel like cheese strings and your lungs are taking in so much air, the person next to you may faint due to oxygen deprivation?

Sounds enticing right?

Who doesn’t wanna feel like they actually got shit done in training? I know some of you will say “Well Kory, my 3×12 leg press with dumbbell curls and an ab circuit finisher rips me to shreds.”
