Lifting is not the only way to get strong.

[bawang]

Lifting is a very good way...but I've known many older men in the trades who were much stronger than ripped, younger weight lifters. While their jobs were types of weight lifting, some of those guys built impressive strength without any conventional lifting.

of course resistance to muscle builds strength. but this guy golden arms is trying to justify his gym phobia.

lifting is the only way to get strong.

This is what I'll call "lift". If you can make your PVC pipe to bend like that, you will know how much weight that you are dealing with. If you can still do this when you are 80 years old, you are in good shape.

That's an awesome exercise John. How much does that weigh? Is it concrete or plaster on PVC?

It's concrete on PVC. That 2 heads may weight between 90 lb - 100 lb. My teacher told me that there was a 2 heads in his teacher's back yard. It was so heavy that he hated it everytime he even looked at it. SC guys use it to test "body structure".

Thanks, I think it is cool.

It would be greater for developing core stability!

I am already considering building one for myself.

core stability!

It's always nice to have English as your 1st language. I like "core stability" better than "body structure".

Probably long term neurological adaptation.

I have no idea of the science behind it, but I've witnessed it enough times to know it's real and have a respect for it.

instead of walking/driving for 5-10 minutes to a local gym and work out, drive 50+km into a wood to chop trees as training.

what is the reason for this thinking?

fear of the gym. fear of the muscleheads. fear of muscle.


i dont drive 50+ km to chop trees to get "old man strength" because i dont have mental illness.

LOL..I'd much rather go to the gym than chop trees...I've done enough of that...I'm not suggesting it's a better way...with manual labor you don't get the definition you do from lifting, it's more dangerous, slower and sucks a lot more.

Just saying that it's made a lot of strong dudes, who weren't even interested in getting strong. I don't understand the external guys who are opposed to weight training either. It was so clearly a historic aspect of TCMA.

if a skinny 100 pound hermaphrodite of a man goes chopping trees, he will not gain "old man strength".

Or anyone who grew up in the north country with a wood stove.
I've never met anyone who did it to get strong, they did it because they're dad made them...or because their kids have left home and now they got to do it themselves.

- You pay gym for working out. Someone pay you for chopping tree.
- If you are a customer, you pay prostitute for sex. If you are a male prostitute, girls pay money for your sex.

When a prostitute called my hotel room, I told her that I'm expensive and I don't take credit card. She was quite shocking.
