Picking up and putting down heavy things.


That's literally a direct quote from the largest man I know.

That said I usually correlate lifting weights to maxing out or at least going high weight. I specifically refer to it as toning if I am going lower with high reps.

Exercise. Exercise is lifting weights. I'm 220 pounds. When I get off the toilet, I've lifted weights.

I work in a supermarket. Lifting 4 gallons of milk in a crate is weight lifting. Especially when you do it umpteen times a day.

Very true. Just like living on a farm, you'll get stronger by constant lifting.

Having extensive rehab on both arms and hands, I was ecstatic when I reached the three pound weights. Using correct form gave me enough definition, relieved some back and neck pain and was enough for me. Three pounds.

Awesome. I can relate I tore my biceps completely and was so happy to move my arm it took a year to recover. Form first
