Miles Austin & Brian Cushing voted to PRO BOWL!!!

I couldn't let another day go by without posting an official "Congratulations" to two of our longtime clients - Miles Austin and Brian Cushing - for being selected to the Pro Bowl!

When most people look at the Pro Bowl roster, the names 'Miles Austin' and 'Brian Cushing' will probably catch their eyes as two of the most unlikely players to be selected. After all, Brian Cushing is a ROOKIE...and rookies just aren't supposed to make it to the Pro Bowl! In fact, the last rookie outside linebacker to make the Pro Bowl was San Diego's Shawn Merriman back in 2005!

Miles Austin's story may be even more unbelievable! Four years ago, Miles was an undrafted free agent out of little Monmouth College in New Jersey. HUNDREDS of players were drafted over him. Yet, on Tuesday night, Miles was one of only four wide receivers selected to the NFC's roster! When you think about all the guys who were drafted over him and who were said to be "better" than him; his accomplishment is even more impressive!

 

CHECK OUT WHAT THESE TWO GUYS ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR...

Brian Cushing leads the entire AFC in tackles with 128! He also ranks #1 among all NFL linebackers with 4 interceptions and 10 pass break-ups! (I guess he silenced all the "experts" who said he wasn't an 'every down' linebacker because he lacked speed and cover skills! How bad do those people look right now HAHA???) He was also named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week twice this season! (Not a bad rookie campaign, huh?!)

Miles Austin leads the entire NFC in receiving yards with 1230 yards! He also ranks #3 in touchdown catches (11) and he's ninth in recpetions (74). The most amazing thing about Miles' stats is that he only started 8 games this year!! (Can you imagine what he would have done if he started the entire season?!)

JERSEY BOYS!

Congratulations to two of the hardest-working athletes that have ever walked through our doors!!! You guys EARNED your success and you both DESERVE it!

If any of our readers are going to be in Miami for the Pro Bowl; we'll see you there!!!

    Congratulation, there is no better marketing than results. These guys worked their butts off and now they are realizing their dreams in such a big way.

    Joe D., Congrats to these two guys and your gym! Not to hijack but had a question re: Built like a badass.... Just got the book and am excited about starting the program. I have a home gym with rack, dumbbells, kettlebells,TRX, but I have NO cable system for pulldowns or seated rows. Any good subs like maybe bench supported rows for seated? Any suggestions for a good sub for the lat pulldown? I was thinking doing straight-arm pulldowns with the TRX (aka swimmer pulls). Thanks!!! And Happy New Year!!!

    As a huge Cowboys fans i can tell you that Miles was a starter in 11 games and with this week against Eagles that will be 12 games...still a incredible season for him! At the beginning of the season he was the third or 4th wide receiver on the team..and 3 months later he is the number one..! Congrats to him...You talk a lot about Cushing on the blog this year but does Miles still training at your facilities?

    Big Congratulations to both of these guys! Joe, congratulations to you for helping these guys get to where they are over the years. Having read about Miles over the years and now seeing him play so well (plus being a Jersey guy) is almost enough to turn this long time Giant fan into a Cowboys fan! One more thing, I would like to thank Miles for carrying my fantasy football team to a championship! Happy New Year all!
