Why do people think it is impressive to be strong?

What do you gain from being super strong in 2016?

Unless you are a professional athlete there is no real reason to lift for strength.

You should work out for good health and functionality. That is it that is all.

How does maximizing your health make you a *******? Health is the number one thing in life.

You sound like a dumb 19-year-old boy.

No money, power, and fame are a sign of dominance. Strength is not a sign of dominance in 2016.

Wut makes you think I'm not already a criminal? Also, where's your face?


But seriously, the older I get, the less importance I place on things like max bench press. A few years ago, before I blew out a pec, I was all about it.

Right.

Honestly, the torn pec did it for me. If it hadn't been for that, I would still be all in it I think. It was a rush to be able to lift the weight I was lifting at 180.

You tore your pec though because you did not listen to your body and pushed yourself like an idiot.

Maybe, but I also used lifting as an out fro ma drug addiction, so, I'd rather be walking around with a torn pec than strung out on drugs. A lot of people have their very valid reasons for lifting heavy.

Yes, it does up to a certain point. Doing any solid weight lifting program will keep your joints/tendons at optimal health. You do not need to be lifting really heavy weight to achieve that young man.

implying strength didn't have a valuable purpose when our ancestors had to often kill potential threats with their bare hands and survive by running hundreds of miles. fukin genetics dude, it's simple. same reason why baby humans and animals are still cute and we don't leave them on the side of the road.

Right.

That is why bodybuilding gets a bad rap to the general public.
