Bull Shark?!

For my first post I figure that I should take some time to explain the origin of my title as I am sure many of you are wondering why the hell I am talking about sharks. Ok well let us start with the obvious, they are freaking badass..how many other animals or people for that matter do you know that have an entire week dedicated to them on a major television station? What's that you say? Zero? My point exactly! Now that we have established the basics lets get into why serious lifters like you and me should idolize these beasts.

The Bull shark is a survivor, this beast has rolled with the punches and evolved to adapt to its surroundings for millions and millions of years, nothing has been able to kill it off yet.  These guys are basically bulletproof and completely fearless, the meanest and nastiest animal on the planet, seriously this thing is feared in the ocean and by people on land who are miles away from the nearest beach. This is probably because this bad boy has been found hundreds of miles up rivers and even in freshwater lakes that are many miles inland.  While all of the other sharks hit a "plateau" and decided that they would only be restricted to the oceans the Bull shark decided that saltwater was just not enough, so he broke that barrier and got what he wanted. Finally let us talk about what truly makes the Bull shark so epic, on a more scientific note this hoss has an average testosterone level of roughly 900...to put this in perspective the average adult male human has a level of about 40-45.  Seriously? well its no wonder they have survived for hundreds of millions of years, they have literally scared off extinction by having such high test levels. 

So ladies and gentlemen, the next time you are at the gym and you put up some insane numbers and your lifting partner compares you to a bear or a gorilla think to yourself, do I want to be a sleepy, half hibernated berry eating scavenger, or a chubby banana eating tree climber. I would hope the answer would be no. So folks next time you head up to the gym attack those weights like a Bull shark.

Fins Up!!
