Strength sport

[Tibby]

Anyone else here into strength sports? Body Building, Powerlifting, Olympic Weightlifting, highland games, WSM, etc, etc. I’ve been to a Body Building contest, I did powerlifting for 2 years at my school and on the Amateur circuit, and I tried my hand at the Highland Games a few times. What about you guys?

I'm into bodybuilding. But would not say I am a bodybuilder. I have some knowledge and prefer the abbreviated approach. But my body is very, very, very far from being near competitor physique

 

I just lack the discipline to continue with training. Unlike martial arts that keep me enticed almost all the time

Not to that degree but being a football coach we do a lot of weight training most of it is exp. training more so than power lifting but we do a bit of everyting.

At my old gym I would compete in the "Bench your weight for reps" contest. I never won but it was all in fun.

At my old gym I would compete in the "Bench your weight for reps" contest <--------- YA JOKING

 

Damn i bench 120 kg or 264 Pounds and i only Weigh 65kg or 143 Pounds.

Yeah, those contests are fun to have. I beleive Mr. Olympia has a Bench your body weight for 30 reps contest for the fans. I've never competed, but I heard it was fun. You know, nothing big, just some fun for the fans, like Battle of the Biceps. You get trophey, a pic with a fitness model, a little cash, etc. Loon, try benching your weight for 30 reps, that will humble you. You will see plent of guy at powerlifting meets who can do 300+ max(to bad I'm not one of them), but most of them can't do 50 push-ups on the spot. Your muscles can outlift, but can they out last? lol
