Weight Lifters are not athletes

limericklion · 2009-04-20 15:21:08

Lifting weights cannot be compared in terms of difficulty with doing track sessions ie 12x400 in 62secs with 100m recovery. Unless you are a rugby player a person would only bulk up if they were afraid of hard training and wanted to look like they train. Whydont you leave the gym and start training on the track like real…

Good man, keep fighting the good fight

It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

I'm leaving work in 15 minutes and will lock (and delete if necessary) this then. In the meantime, knock yourselves out.

I dont train for power lifting but do weight train but i know its definetly a very athletic sport and if you dont understand that then your clueless as to what an athlete is. athlethes come in all sorts of forms.
