Have you ever heard of Terence Hill and Bud Spenser?
They are two of my favorite actors from my by-gone years aka childhood. Watching their movies today still brings out a smile.
Some of their movies include –
Watch out we re mad,
They call me Trinity,
Trinity is still my name,
Double Trouble,
Miami Supercops,
I m for the hippopotamus
Blacky the pirate,
God forgives I don’t,
Etc.
p.s. Terence Hill went on to star in the TV series Lucky Luke.
What I really enjoy about these actors is there constant unchanging characters in their movies despite the change of actor personas. For example Terence Hill plays the good looking guy who always gets the gorgeous looking girls and is always up for a laugh. Bud Spenser is the tubby bearded guy who cannot be bothered in the most part to do anything but when he gets mad he gets mad alright. Terence Hill always tends to piss him off despite being on the same team! Put a meal in front of them and they eat like there is no tomorrow. In 'Trinity is still my name' the duo eat a roast buzzard for supper with worse mannerism than the poor buzzard itself. That is probably one of the funniest westerns I have ever seen. Check out this clip where they venture into an upper class restaurant.
So what does this have to do with strength training or weight training or gym routines or workout routines?
Nothing. Except that these two characters are extremely strong despite one being lanky and the other being tubby. They always end up fighting more opponents than available and they always beat up the bad guys using humor and comedy type maneuvers. Even in the wild west where guns are the norm, its always the good old fists that are thrown around. You got to love it with a smile and a dash of salt.
In 'Watch out we re mad', the duo are rally drivers who win a dune buggy. The buggy is smashed up by a mobster. The duo make it a point to get a brand new dune buggy, a red one with a yellow top from the mobster. The mobster is not interested and is keen to make a point. From hilarious sparring with the thugs in the gym (typical gymnastic type beatings and boxers) to a professional sniper who has his gun stolen and replaced with a violin that he is forced to play at the mobster s restaurant, the movie is good fun and great to watch over a beer or three.
When you get back from a hard day of training and its time to chill out, get some of their movies, get a big roast chicken and a protein shake, kick back and enjoy.
