Yeah, those numbers are incredible, but I think they’ll only improve with time, thanks to the advances that have been made in the field. Hopefully we can one day help those opposed to strength training understand that it is nothing but beneficial to any athelete, from football players to karate afficianados to kung fu adepts.
And to the gym rats who fugging hog the stations so’s they can chat about everything not associated with throwing iron, SHUT THE FUG UP. When I get back into training, I’m not going to have the patience for the stupid mofo’s of the gym. Arggh!
All of this is why you guys have to set up your own gyms. No-one else to worry about, just you and your weights. If you do get training partners, you can handpick them and make sure they’re serious. Only problem is, there’s no-one to appreciate your lifts. I went in after lifting this morning all proud and told my wife “Hey, I did 150kg” and she couldn’t care less. The numbers are irrelevant to her.
Don’t get too hung up on numbers. Everyone has different form, I could probably come close to doubling my squat poundage if I did the typical ROM that you see in mainstream gyms.
Same with bench, some people only go half way down, others bounce it off their chest, other guys do 10 reps with their spotter curling the bar at the same time and then claim the lift as their own.
Everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt, and even then the poundage you use is only important as a measure of progress. All else is pretty much irrelevant.
Indeed. As long as you’re improving, moving towards your goals, your doing good.
