Some people weight lift to do better in sports or stay in shape. I was wondering if any of us forgers lift. I do, been doing it for about the past 2 months or so for my first year of HS football. Put you're guys': Age: Height: Weight: Max Bench Press (1 Rep): Max Squat (1 Rep): Max Deadlift (1 Rep): For me, it is: Age: 14 Height: 5'8 Weight: 137 lbs Max Bench Press (1 Rep): 150 lbs Max Squat (1 Rep): 210 lbs Max Deadlift (1 Rep): 245 lbs I don't really have the mentality to weight lift, but I get motivation and it makes me want to. I've been basically a star for our football team (Midget-JR High) and the HS Coaches, friends, parents, ect. are looking forward to me continuing how I play the game throughout high school. THAT gives me motivation to weight lift and I do it. Also the dream that most boys of my age have of playing professional football (AFL or NFL). Also, I LOVE the atmosphere in the weight room.
Sure, I weight lift. It's fun, except on days when we run. I suck so much at running, i kinda dont feel like weight lifting on those days. Anyways: Age: Only on a need to know basis Height:approx. 5'10" Weight: Need to know basis Max Bench Press (1 Rep): about 155 lbs. Max Squat (1 Rep): 135 lbs. (i dont use them much) Max Deadlift (1 Rep): 250 lbs Keep in mind i dont play sports, so, yeah, i have no idea with what that has to do with it.
Age: 16 Height: 6' 7" Weight: 205 Max Bench: 210 Max Squat: 265 Max Power Clean: 215 Max Dead Lift: 315 Football, Quick Tackle and Tight End.
Hmm... can someone explain the dead lift to me? Ive never heard of it before. Oh, and TXGhost: Holy .... your tall.
I get that a lot walking around school. Dead Lift is where you have a bar with weight on it on the ground, all you do is stand up with it and it will look like you are trying to arch your shoulders.
Oh, that. I know what that is, then. Ill have to change it, then. Thanks Off topic: I just realized we dont have a smiling squirrel smilie
Gahhh... is that a typo?, because that is really tall. I mean, both of my brothers are pretty tall, but 6' 7" is crazy... and I mean that in a good way. And here's mine: Age: No Height: Yes Weight: Kindof Max Bench Press (1 Rep): Maybe, I don't know Max Squat (1 Rep): Yup huh... Max Deadlift (1 Rep): Yes... As in, I don't care/ do that stuff...
I myself dont lift weights (yet), mostly because i'm only twelve. One thing that bugs me though, is exercising indoors. Why cant people just run up a mountain, instead of sticking to a dingy little machine!
It is better. And safer. At 12 years old, I mildly lifted for Midget Footbal, not a lot though, maybe once or twice every 2 weeks. I think I maxed around 110 or something for bench lol.
eww no thanks. ive always found working out...somewhat repulsive. and guys with muscles on not on my attraction category
I weight lift, but it is with my dads old stuff. It has barely any heavy stuff. Its only like 20 lbs, so I do a lot of reps instead. I guess I'll see if I can figure out how to add more weight to it. ^^
I dont weight lift (yet), I'll have to weight lift next year because its compulsory for people on the rugby team.
I do to stay fit, along with other exercises. Theres nothing wrong with having muscle, but if you look like Mr. Universe your just messed up in my book.
