Milo, a weakling looking to get strong, exercised by lifting a baby calf onto his shoulders and carrying it up the mountain. Why did he do this? I personally like to believe someone told him to do calf raises and he was just a literal idiot. Anyway, everyday this idiot picked up the same cow and carried it up the mountain. Now if you’ve never had mountain grass before, it is just the best. And so the cow grew on Milo. Not personally, like the cow took a liking to Milo, the cow hated him. You know how if you feed a dog everyday, the dog will think you are God because you provide food. And if you feed a cat everyday, the cat will think it is God because you provide it food. Well you have someone carry you to paradise where you can eat as much as you want and then carry you back down and see if you don’t start referring to yourself as the Golden Moo-ddha. Eventually, the small calf becomes this fat pile of bull and Milo becomes very strong – you know, from carrying a full grown bull up and down a mountain everyday. The point of the story is that gradually adding weight to your exercises will add up and eventually you’ll be really strong. That is if you’re Milo… If you are a Milo, stay tuned for my posts on physical performance. On the other hoof, getting transported to an excess amount of food where you can graze as much as you want, avoiding all exercise afterwards by getting a ride home, and slowly gaining weight over the years may sound a little more familiar.
