Do you lift?

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

I play shot put and discus in track and feild.

So I have to lift weights in order to maintain a healthy physical body and muscles.

So does anyone lift too?

I mean like take it seriously.

Yah, brah. Totes.

 

I don't on a regular schedule, but I do it occasionally. I'm not that physically active, but I exercise when my whim dictates I should.

[PsychedelicPony 440]

I used to lift seriously when I played college lacrosse, but to be honest I haven't hit the gym since I stopped playing.

[Castle Bleck 19,172]

I favor high-weight, few-rep exercises.

[Page.Turner 940]

UHHHHHHH no. I do heavy cardio for the most part because I'm more concerned at the moment to drop the weight I need before I work on toning

 

EDIT: tips would be appreciated for someone who wants to tone >____>

Every day. Squats, cleans, and cardio one day. Bench, dead lifts, and curls the next. 

[Fantasma Phantasm 673]

Everyday! I have a weight training class. In fact, i'm at the top of my class with 460 pounds in deadlift!

[Colorful Respawn 399]

Yeah, I lift...when I was in public school.

[Scootalove 10,684]

I don't lift at all, too busy with running and walking up the stairs for cardio.

[Zhortac 1,473]

Brethren, doest thou ascend objects of great heft?

 

No, I don't...don't have a chance too really...other then moving the heavy stuff around.

[Hyper Tumble 1,483]

I throw Shotput and Discus also, as well as Javelin. The only real working out I do is during football season, and the summer training workouts.

 

But, to answer your question, yes, I lift.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

Yep. Taking weight training this semester. I can now bench 110, leg press 380 and lat-pull 130. 

[Ryzu 984]

I only lift as self punishment, when I feel I've done something terrible. I make it painful, like lifting the 20lb weights 2000 times on a set time limit. My arms felt like they died afterwards.

I used to go with friends to the gym and we'd basically kill each other for years. Sadly though, we all got busy and up-caught in our lives and no longer go. I don't see me ever going again, as I don't like paying for a spotter and having to trust them. My favorite lift was definitely squat. Used to be able to do 2.3x my own weight, and it felt great!

[Diamondeye83 49]

I run and lift. Bro.

But seriously, i run about 4-5 miles a day, and then do various weight room activities.

[Adorkable 2,737]

I mean like take it seriously.

 

This is great, I love how the joke is so well known you have to actually put that you're being serious, haha! Anyways, I used to in High School, I was a beast. As for now, I don't anymore, but I would love to get back into it.

[Ribbonfree 2,383]

Not really, no. I'm moronically weak on most counts, I can barely bench half my weight.

[UltimaX 63]

Discus and Shot put for the win!

[Yellow Diamond 7,564]

I go to my university's fitness center about three or four times a week. I'm doing a gradual strength-building program which includes squats, overhead press, bench press, and other supplementary exercises. Squatting actually helps my left knee which has gotten balky over the past few months.

 

I guess I take it seriously, then.

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

I started lifting last year by the way.

My max is only 145 though.

Heck I'm only 16 though.

When I was in High School I lifted like a mad man, boy I use to life until I would throw up, then just keep on a going, man...I kinda wanna get back into it!

[Shanks 10,811]

I favor high-weight, few-rep exercises.

There is a lot of debate among weight lifters as to the benefits of high weight and low reps and high reps and low weight but I have had my best results with a mixture of both. I tend to start with low weight and then gradually increase the weight with each set, when I am working lower body I sometimes do something called burnouts which is to gradually increase the weight with each set and then perform more sets while gradually decreasing the weight.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

Gluteus for the sloots brah.

[GhostPony750 958]

Well, it's like a sport, without any purpose. o_O So I find it non-productive, boring, so I don't lift. I prefer sports like climbing, where you actually want to reach the top.

It makes you stronger.

Therefore it is productive.
