Two and a half times your body weight?? Holy crap friend, from a BMI of over 25 to that??? My hat is off to you - that's absolutely amazing.
Is that a deadlift?
I'm 100% with you - it is all habits and enjoyment. It's so hard to grasp that until you've been through it and somehow I feel like we lose a lot of amazing athletes every year because of that disconnect. I don't know but when I see someone with a BMI of over 25, I see incredible athleticism. Heck, at that point, life is exercise.
- FriedrichN 6y agoYeah, that's a deadlift, by far my best lift. I forgot who said it but the quote says "I've never seen a fat guy with small calves". I've tried to see how many times I could squat 60kg, I stopped at 28 because the burn was just too much. And that's just one set, I can rack it and walk away, you can't if that weight is you.
- hluska 6y agoYou're a really good person and I am enjoying this conversation. Thanks for sharing this - it's really cool how much we have in common. My former fat boy calves are my biggest ally as a runner. Running hilly courses is particularly fun - traditionally fit people can usually beat me on flats but I am very fast on hills. Heck, I was once big enough that every single day was hill day. 28 reps at 60kg is amazing. I'm going to try that out - I like deadlifts too and that sounds like one heck of a lot of fun.
