Tim Ferriss
When A 60kg Girl Can Lift More Than You…

LEGENDARY US SPRINT COACH Barry Ross once sent me a picture of an ab exercise he calls “the torture twist”. The model was a seemingly average high school student who weighed about 60 kilos. Ross nonchalantly added on the phone, “Oh, and she deadlifts 180-plus kilos for repetitions.” That, my friends, is my kind of strength: relative strength.

The student wasn’t a powerlifter. She lifted once or twice a week for less than five minutes of total time under tension. And she’s not an exception. Nearly all of Ross’s athletes can pull three times their body weight. He manufactures mutants on demand.

I met Ross through Pavel Tsatsouline, chairman of StrongFirst, a worldwide school of strength. Tsatsouline is a former physical training instructor for Spetsnaz, the Soviet special forces, and is currently a subject matter expert to the US Marine Corps and the Navy SEALs.
