Man, I love how it happens.
You’re pondering a question during the day and the answer comes in the evening, when you’re supposedly sound asleep.
I had a number of dream downloads last night. One of them was literally writing the copy for my next newsletter while another was taking me through the jungle, where I visited a number of primates.
I got to hang out with monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas and my favorite, the orangutan. And these primates were talking to me, telling me the truth about developing internal strength.
The best conversation of them all was with a gorilla who sat in a deep squatting position the entire time we talked. I told him that there are fitness trainers who believe humans come from monkeys, that we evolved.
“Hehehe,” laughed the gorilla. “Then why are we still here?”
“Oh, I’m sure they have an answer for that one, too, but it’s not a good one.”
“True,” snorted the gorilla.
“And here’s what’s interesting,” I continued. “These same trainers say that humans shouldn’t sit in a squat, the way you are. They say it overstretches the tendons and ligaments.”
“Hmmm,” the gorilla grunted. “They don’t think it makes you stronger? They think it’s only a stretch?”
“Apparently so,” I replied.
“Well, have these trainers ever watched the primates closely? Have they taken note of how many postures and positions we sit in each day, for long periods of time?”
“Apparently not. They have a lot of theories that don’t take in the reality of how the primates sit, stand, hang, balance and move, yet they think we evolved from you.”
The gorilla laughed and said, “And that shows what theories will get you. I don’t know a single primate who studied a single theory, but we can do whatever we need to do. Being able to do whatever you want with your body based upon what is natural is always superior to the latest theories.”
“Good point. Theory and practice are two different things.”
“None of us have knee pain, hip pain or lower back pain,” the gorilla added. “According to the theories, we should be seeing a surgeon.”
The dream ended with a long period of silence, wherein I sat in a deep squat and observed the gorilla and his friends going through a number of postures, many of which I had never seen before. I took a ton of notes that awakened the gorilla mindset within me.
Anyone who thinks that sitting, standing, stretching and moving through various postures and positions doesn’t build strength, hasn’t observed animals up close. Even their so-called resting positions are physically demanding.
And that, my friend, is one of many reasons I suggest you study my latest, greatest course, Power Postures-Tiger Tendons.
It teaches you to get fit, strong and flexible as you sit, stand and move.
Get it NOW and observe the monumental difference it makes in your life.
Here endeth the lesson.

P.S. If you want to develop your inner animal even more, make sure you also latch onto Primate Power, the course I did with Eddie Baran that is still kicking ass and taking names.
