Letter from Sam:  Cable Set used for over 20 Years

7-19-02

Hello,

I bought the Samson Cable Set and the books over 20 years ago when I was a Marine. I'm now 43 years old, 230 lbs., quite muscular with approximately 19 - 19 1/2 inch arms. I've been using this cable set for this amount of time.

What I found interesting was that whereas the gigantic steroid monsters, 275 lbs. on up, 23 inch arms, could move heavy weight in the powerlifts; they were woefully week on the cable set. I was challenged by a young giant who ridiculed my way of training which included keeping the physical fitness standards I maintained while I was in the Marine Corp. I readily acknowledged that I was unable to perform a 700 lbs. bench press. However, I challenged him to a 3 mile run for time. He declined because his cardio-fitness was poor. I challenged him to a contest of pullup/chinups with weight resistance and parallel bar dips with weight resistance. he was unable to perform a pullup or dip with just his own bodyweight.

I'd also pulled out my Samson Cable set to challenge him to a contest in Front chest pulls. I had him now! This fellow was unable to make a front pull with just 4 cables on the handles. Even I was shocked at his weakness. He even had a hard time stretching out 2 cables on the front chest pull. I warmed up with four cables and then performed the same exercise with 7 cables. I made my point. I told him that to his credit he had more courage than his fellow hecklers for backing up his challenge by offering to participate in mine. From that moment I had gained the respect of the younger gym crowd.

Three years ago I was challenged by a 350 lbs. football player who didn't respect my use of the cable set. I defeated him in the same manner using various cable exercises. I was able to perform the front chest pull with 9 of the cables but I became ill. I'm rehabbing my fitness using the Samson Cable Set and I've worked my way back to 7 cables; 9 won't be far behind.

The cable set has helped me to increase my strength over the level I had when I was in the service.

Sincerely,

Sam
