Limit Strength is Functional Strength: A Case Study

I went out to feed the pigs yesterday and found that they had broken out, and one of them fell into an unused septic tank hole.

This Hole

It sure as hell wasn’t picture perfect, but I muscled up a circa 170lb fighting, kicking and screaming pig out of a 5.5 foot hole yesterday. I do a little bit of odd lifting at home, but I credit the success of this endeavor to pure squatting, deadlifting, and pressing strength. That coupled with a good bit of adrenaline and a no failure attitude; THAT pig was coming out of THAT hole…period!

Getting brutally strong from head to toe is great for self-defense and sports, but sometimes you just need to be strong to get shit done around here.
