I do a good bit of weight lifting, typically 4 or 5 times a week. I find it a great way to disconnect and focus on something very simple / straightforward for an hour. Its also a great way to relieve stress.
- gadders 11y ago+1 for weight lifting/training. I'm more on the powerlifting style than Olympic Weightlifting.I go four times a weel and I've been following variations of 5/3/1 for about 5 years now. If anyone wants level up their strength and health I heartily recommend it.
- eecks 11y agoDo you have a good physique?
- gadders 11y agoI don't primarily train for my physique. When people lift weights, people can have different aims in mind. Olympic Weightlifters become more explosive and better at the Olympic lifts. Body builders train for muscle size and definition. My primary aim is to see the weights I lift get heavier and heavier from week to week and month to month. As a result of that, my physique is better than it was before, but I would never be mistaken for a mens fitness cover model. Properly strong people look more like this: http://lilsgym.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/BillKazmaier.jpg http://lilsgym.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/BillKazmaier.j... and less like this: http://www.alux.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/James-Ellis2.jpg http://www.alux.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/James-Ellis2.... That's not to say that you won't get stronger doing any of the three types of weight training, but the primary focus differs.
- eecks 11y agoI lift as well. It gives you a great feeling but also can be very humbling. What routine do you follow?
