Just wondering: How many people here bodybuild, powerlift, or weightlift?
I weightlift only a little. It’s pretty okay and let me say that I’m definitely more muscular now than when I began so that’s good. Not saying I can lift anymore than my body weight though [:)]
Do you weightlift or weight train?
Please forgive me for being skeptical - a lot of people confuse the terms. And I’m sure you can lift more than your bodyweight for at least one exercise. (;
I occasionally do Crossfit workouts.
Crossfit is cool. Do you use kettlebells? I have a not-very-well-used 1 pood kettlebell in my room… 
I’ve been doing cardio daily for about half a year, and am about to start weight lifting. I’ve got all this muscle on my legs, but barely anywhere else.
EDIT: Double post, my post took a minute or two to load, so I posted again sorry.
I squatted 450 in high school, on the machine tho.
I used to bodybuild, then I got tired of that and I decided to try olympic weight lifting which was the most challenging thing I have ever tried. For the past couple years I’ve been power lifting and I enjoy it the most out of the three; nothing beats the rush of max effort deadlifts [:)]
I used to be a heavy builder and weighed about 20lb more. Then lived in a third world country for a few years which got rid of that.
Currently I crossfit at least twice a week, and yes we use kettlebells alot. [:)] Its been my favorite method of working out to date and the results have been the greatest I’ve had yet.
I do calf and thigh exercises (without weights). I didn’t start til the summer/fall of 08 when I hurt my ankle skateboarding. I’ve been skateboarding since 02, and it was the first serious injury I had. Started doing doing calf exercises to work out the ankle and build strength again. The tension and exercise helped more than not putting pressure on it at all (the pain didn’t go away for weeks with no stress on the ankle). Eventually through weeks of exercise my ankle was stronger than before, but I got lazy and stopped exercising, and this past January I hurt my ankle again (and again 2 weeks ago). I just recently started exercising again.
Yet, I have not seen a doctor yet about this…
I’m pretty big into it. I’ve done a few bodybuilding competitions. I was runner-up in the heavyweight class of Teen Georgia a few years ago.
Okay, if a revolution ever happens, I want Krazy Kaju and Le Master in my contingent.
Awesome! If I assumed that you do Westside would I be wrong?
I just finished the Starting Strength workouts and am on my second day of the Texas Method.
I’ve lifted weights for about 20 years. I adore my Bowflex Ultimate 2.

What? Physical strength wouldn’t be an advantage in revolutionary combat?
Haha, thanks for the compliment but a year ago I was 5’9 and I wrestled in the 125lb weight class (my normal weight at the time was 145lbs though). I’ve only started serious weight training in the past few months. So I guess what I’m saying is that I’m not big by any means. My goal is to win a powerlifting comp some day… sighs
Nice! How long have you been working on the Starting Strength workouts? I’m doing 5 x 5 now, though I’m not sure what I should go to afterward I’m finished with that.
