If I lift any weights, I do it more for explosion, but I really use my body weight to build up muscle and strength.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do work on a little bit of weights just to get my power up.
I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.
Running up a steep hill or up steps are fantastic ways of building explosive strength.
Every action has a consequence. It may be good for strengthening. And I have no doubt that lifting a lot of weights can get you stronger. I just don't know if lifting stronger weights can keep you healthy, or it can keep you doing your job better, especially for a pro athlete.
Lifting is what's made me stronger and made me look better. Not only does it burn fat amazingly - and I think it's really honed my body - it's also given me the strength in the ring to lift girls up. I can literally lift anything on my shoulders.
Oftentimes, heavy weights can tear the muscle fiber causing it to bulk, but using a lighter weight for a longer duration and allowing your body to move in many different ways to target all of the muscles will lengthen them without tearing.
I see so many people in the gym just slinging weight around. You can accomplish more if you squeeze the reps out in perfect form, instead of going big and trying to kill it every time.
I don't lift weights at all. Every muscle on my body is for an actual task; there is no muscle that I train for show. If I want to be able to do a certain move or action, I train really hard until I can. And with all of that training comes muscle definition, so it's really an afterthought.
I don't lift weights. I do fitness exercises to stay strong.
I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.
