this is off topic but i don't do the "OT:" thing often, chuckbuck does it regularly,

so please forgive but do not forget,

do you know, brethren, why more people do not lift the weights?

what are the reasons in your head?

There's a creepy guy on a sports forum who lifts weights and I don't wanna be like him.

I'm 40...play like I'm 30...and always been a gym rat. Weights...basketball...and recently yoga. Not lifting weights for me is like not breathing or drinking water. As you get older, u gain weight. Need too increase your strength as you increase your weight.

The well-perpetuated myth that weight = size. Weights don't make you bigger unless you eat too much. Calories in / calories out changes your weight. If you go on a progressive lifting program you'll gain strength regardless of weight, provided that you eat enough good stuff and not too much bad stuff.

Fast twitch musculature?

Lifting weights for looks does wonders for your jumpshot?

All those pro ball players doing plyometrics all the time must be stupid?

Why don't more people vote Republican?

Why don't more people win the lottery?

Why don't more people get TARP money?

Why doesn't belly fat just disappear as you get older?

Why don't more people sell their own natural gas as a fossil fuel alternative?

Why don't more people drill for shale oil in their own backyards?

Why don't more people sell home owner's insurance in Oklahoma?

I thought the better question is why don't people hunt on their unicycle but, hey, whatever floats your boat

hahahaha to all of the above,

think of this: you know, if everyone can lift heavy things in every day life, imagine if everyone you see every day for work or social, imagine if they could all lift a 150 lb stone off the ground, or maybe something that you think is heavy from your mind,

do you not see how this would lead to world peace in just one year??

I'm still trying to figure out if you were trying to get the original post to rhyme or something...

Thanks for mentioning ChuckBuck, by the way, IronWil. He needs the free publicity!
And I think I know how to take this to the next level!

I think if your cardio isn't somewhat decent, going too crazy on weights doesn't always help. The fat guy with big muscles is still a fat guy (Sorry to anyone who may be offended by this). I focus on cardio 3-4 days a week and then do weights 1-2 times a week. Just depends on where your focus is.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I don't know about that. If you look two people with about the same fat but one has more muscle, the one with more muscle will have a better overall shape. I've thought about it more than I should have probably. Compare these two guys
