Chapter 3: Lift Heavy Things.............................................................................................
Clearly, our ancestors were strong across a wide spectrum of modalities: pushing, pressing, pull-
ing, throwing, squatting, lunging, jumping, twisting, hauling and myriad other physical movements.
Today Conventional Wisdom says that to be strong, one must lift heavy barbells and toss around
big weights. The current interest in functional fitness has tons of beginners in gyms getting under
heavy barbells without the proper training—and that’s a recipe for disaster. PBF dictates that you
master the basics before attempting the technical lifts.
Very few of us grew up in an intensely physically demanding world like that of our ancestors; it’s
more common to embark on fitness endeavors with a substantial strength and fitness deficit. Re-
gardless of your current fitness level, you are certainly suited to Lift Heavy Things. But heavy is
a relative term; all that matters is what’s heavy to you. The essence of Lifting Heavy Things is to
complete high intensity repetitions with good form to avoid injury.
