Brady Quinn Graces Latest Cover of Muscle and Fitness

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn is featured on the cover of the latest edition of of Muscle and Fitness Magazine. Quinn has long stated that weight lifting is one of the reasons for his success on the gridiron. The magazine reads:

Quinn did things in high school that normal kids don't do. On one beautiful Sunday afternoon in May, Coach Crabtree stepped outside his office, peeked through the bleachers of the stadium, and saw Quinn and one of his wide receivers working on pass routes. He was a sophomore in high school and he was all business.

"At a young age, I realized that the quickest way for me to gain an advantage over people was to outwork them," states Quinn, who started lifting weights seriously in eighth grade.

"I used to feel like I was never doing enough, that if I wasn't putting in extra work, I wasn't getting an edge over someone else. Now that I'm in the NFL, I train smarter. But I will say this: That kind of work ethic early on is really where you start to build mental toughness."

You can read the entire piece in the magazine by picking up a copy of the magazine at your local book store or newstand.
