INSIGHT

Weightlifting Is Natural and Essential

  • Lifting weights is one of the most natural activities humans can do despite common claims otherwise.
  • Modern sedentary lifestyles have diminished our physical health, and weightlifting helps restore necessary physical stimuli.
ADVICE

Use Resistance Training Regularly

  • Do regular resistance training like lifting weights to simulate the heavy manual labor our ancestors did.
  • This consistent mechanical stress maintains strength and physical health better than just doing martial arts alone.
ANECDOTE

  • Met a 7'2" man with poor posture and lack of athletic skills despite his genetics.
  • This illustrates that genetics alone don't build strength or skill without proper training and lifestyle.
