Samson Cable Set Video Contest

Some of you may have seen the video of Mike Brown doing 115-lb. dumbbell bench presses with the hot chick in the background (we didn’t even know she was there at the time) and the many comments. That video has generated over 50,000 “hits” on YouTube.

We want to get the same type of reaction with our Samson Cable Set in a video. For this contest we’re looking for a video, such as you take with a cell phone or camcorder, that we can post on YouTube of someone using the Samson Cable Set.

So here’s the deal.

If you have one of our Samson Cable sets, take a video of yourself using it that you think will draw attention. Please, nothing that will get any of us arrested. Use your imagination. Be creative. Try to keep it less than 2 or 3 minutes. The video needs to be submitted by March 31, 2010.

What will the winner get?

First, you’ll get exposure. If a girl in your video is so hot she’s smoking, she may get offers (such as modeling, etc.). If you’re the star, anything is possible.

Second, and most important, the winner gets $500 worth of products from Dianne Miller at leviticus11.com. There will be two honorable mentions that get $100 each worth of products. Dianne and I will determine the winner and the two honorable mentions.

Born to Run

If you include running in your training (as you should), you need to read this book, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen, by Christopher McDougal. McDougal demolishes the idea that you need expensive shoes to run in. In fact, he demonstrates the fact that a lot of running injuries are caused by expensive running shoes.

McDougal even goes on to show that the best way to run may be barefoot and that you need to run on the balls of your feet, as nature intended। He then gives specific examples, including the story of a tribe of Indians in Mexico whose members regularly run 50 to 100 miles.

McDougal also refers to a sort of gel that you can make out of chia seeds, called iskiate (see Chia Drink below)। One of our trainees tried it and said it doubled the distance he could run.

If you want to increase your endurance, read the book. It is on sale at major bookstores. Or, click on this link: Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

CHIA DRINK

It looks strange, but tastes good and helps to recover after a run. To make 1 serving (a glassful):

8 ounces of water
2-2.5 teaspoons of chia seeds
1 lime to squeeze
2 teaspoons of sugar (or your favorite substitute, i.e., honey, stevia, etc.).

Mix water, sugar, and juice from the lime until dissolved. Add the chia seeds and shake or stir. Serve chilled. If you put it in the refrigerator overnight, it will attain the consistency of jello.

The chia seeds turn into a slimy substance, but it isn’t that noticeable unless you try to chew the seeds. The drink is very refreshing and clean tasting. It also goes down easy and quick.
