And in a rock lifting competition they would win easily. I don't see your point. You pick an arbitrary metric that you happen to be good at and declare victory.
As it stands, all you've done is point out that there are different tasks and depending on your target task the ideal body composition and training routine differs.
If you want to be good at pullups you should probably let all your leg muscles atrophy and just build lats and biceps.
- jules 16y agoIf you should do that then I am certainly doing it wrong by running and cycling and letting my arm muscles atrophy. Sure, they'd win a rock lifting competition. And if weight lifting is so good, then they should win a pull-up competition, since that's also what they're training for and it's not what I'm training for by virtually only using my legs. My point being: take this article with a huge grain of salt and train for real fitness not for how much kg you can lift. The easiest way to improve that is to become very fat.
