What's the sense of not looking strong if you are?

what's the sense of being strong temporarily and in the process destroying your skeleton when you can look strong and hire mexicans and forklift operators to move big heavy stuff ?

Solid question.

[XFACTOR]

Strength is really something I hardly ever use. I hire people to do anything labor intensive especially if it involves heavy lifting.

I guess I use a little strength to rebound when playing ball.

Mmmm, strength out lasts vanity x1000000. Do you really think you're going to stay ripped the rest of your life? Lol

Looking strong when you are not isn't ideal.  You are still likely to get some good pussy if you look good though.

Better to be both.

Here son. Come talk to me me when you're 52. No injuries what so ever.

Is this kinda like fat chicks saying "im healthy" ?

[njflex]

holy traps/width..

[SF1900]

The way youre probably defining "strong" is really not needed and serves no purpose.

However, being strong and in shape is of course a good thing for health reasons, especially during the elderly years.

Suffice to say, in this day and age you get a lot further with a pen and paper than a big set of bicepts.

...... but that's not to say that I don't like lifting to get strong and lift for vanity purposes as well. Gotta make sure that ego is inflated to the max!

You can definitely train for both.

I believe that too. I used to lift really heavy and can still pick up heavy weights and safely lift them with good control.

After a layoff you can get back in the gym and get your size back. But the most satisfying things is getting your strength back because it comes a bit quicker and it doesn't taper off as quickly as muscle gains. You seem to hit a size plateau a bit quicker which can be a bit crappy, at least in my experience. If I'm in the gym, I figure that I may as well lift a bit of heavy weights too.

I'm strong and look good! Not that hard to do with decent genetics.

Their are other attributes to being an athlete too. What good is squatting 800lbs if you can't sprint or jump up and touch the rim of a basketball hoop?  So power is an attribute related to strength but separate.

What good is being strong if you gas quickly when wrestling or boxing another guy? You need endurance. What good is being strong if you can't run a decent mile and chubby soccer moms can run faster than you.

What good is bragging about your strength accomplishments when you use drugs to get there? It's just a fleeting accomplishment depending on your drug cycle.

What good is having a crazy bench if you can punch harder than a guy who benches 205Lbs. What good is a crazy bench if you can't take 315lbs off the floor and put it over head? Who is really the stronger guy?

How about strong enough?  What's strong enough that is going to put you in pretty much the top 5 percent of your cohort?  Most people I've seen who have the look of a weight trained athlete are pretty decently strong.  You can't wear strength.  What do you want to be some crypto hidden strong guy that looks like shit but can impress everyone during that 1 in 10,000 moment when something really heavy needs lifting?  I'll pass on the whole Sri Chinmoy deal.

Frankly the whole strength thing goes back to the Riddle of Steel anyway.  Your mind is what will determine your strength through determination, will power, effort, etc.

You need to be huge and strong otherwise there is no point of either. Being athletic is important too for fucking fat chicks.
