What type of training do you do?

[i_love_muscle]

I'm just wondering what type of training everybody is doing, and why.

You can pick more than one item here because a lot of people do more than one thing

what's the difference between the first two?

No specific thing in mind other than just stay in shape, keep up with my kids, keep my cholesterol down and look and feel better.

Good answer Kraken......the same as mine.

I do`nt want to look 40 when i`m 40 next year

Ummm...powerlifting program based on bench, squat, deadlift, and military press

Sport specific training=throwing. But off-season until Feb

thanks, I just don't want to be the quintessential fat ass dad who can't make it up a flight of stairs. LOL

Maybe be able to play sports with my kids too.

Powerlifting and Weightlifting are specific disciplines in strength training.

Well I lift weights 3x-4x a week but I do it to get stronger so which one should I pick?

 

[i_love_muscle]

Unless you're a powerlifter or an Oly weightlifter, I'd choose strength training

 

[Karky]

I didn't see str training, so I put pl/oly, but I don't really compete or lift to get stronger in those lifts anymore, so I edited the poll and took my vote from pl/oly to str.

I'm running/jogging now in preparation for a marathon in may. I also do strength training to aid in weightloss.

You have the power, baby

 

[Karky]

You have the power, baby

My power is awesome! And limitless (*Waits for Mreik to prove that wrong*)

 

[i_love_muscle]

So really what you're saying is you're the quintessential omniscient, omnipotent male?

I think Evo and Mreik are erecting their Xmas tree and sharing some egg nog right now, so until Mreik gets back online, I think you're safe

 

[Karky]

Exactly what I'm saying. Also, my powers are of course ubquitous.

Also, since I are all those words you just used means that I, of course, know what they mean, and didn't have to look it up at dictionary.com

In all seriousness, I did know quintessential, because we've had about that in philosophy, basically the 5th element. And I also knew what omniscient was. The last one I didn't know though, so I had to look it up to make sure I didn't agree to something that had something to do with impotense

 

[Kraken]

ubquitous.

hey thats my word! LOL

 

[i_love_muscle]

"potent" can always be a little scary when there are letters preceding it, but "omni" is a good thing

 

[Kraken]

my powers are an anomalous detriment.

Ok, I put down strength training....however let the record hold that I powerlift in my fantasies.
