I started bodybuilding when I was in my early 20's in the Air Force. I was I also in Tae Kwon Do for about 3 years in my early 20's. I played sports throughout school as well. I converted to crossfit from normal body building back in 2012... I'm no little guy either, deadlift 505, bench 350, squat 405, strict press 245 overhead, ***** 205, and I'm a decent runner (not my strength). Point is I'm no rookie myself. I've been around the gym for a long time and have watched people that workout, especially only cardio, and they dont develop musculature in their legs for the most part. Olympic marathon runners look like frail weaklings and they arguably work their legs, so to say, more than anyone. On top of all this, not everyone's body will react to stress the same. Some people are toned without doing jack, some workout and workout and dont get it. You sound so strong. I only curl 12 ounces at a time.

I mean, I'm glad they cut it down a bit as the original, full-length ad has "the champ is here!" being said about 94,000 frickin' times. On Sundays my wife and I will randomly say, "Hey babe, did you know the champ is here?" "Is he? Tell him I'm busy and that he can #*@$ off!" You might know "the champ is here" is a Muhammad Ali sound bite but to the target audience it's more recognizable as the refrain from the iconic 2004 rap song by Jadakiss. Hence the repitition. Now that Viagra is available in generic form I think most of the folks on TSW are no longer hearing music they recognize in commercials. 1

Some people are toned without doing jack, some workout and workout and dont get it. Do you honestly think when I played the 3 major sports I didn’t lift traditional weights? Just because I focus on BJJ now doesn’t mean I forgot 20 years of benching, cleans, squats, deadlifts etc.. I hate running but it was required. I only do it now if I’m going to enter a tournament. I was at the gyms after I got done playing baseball but I wanted something new. Looks like we will agree to disagree. 1
leonbus23 Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 Strength training can help you increase bone strength and muscular fitness, and it can help you manage or lose weight. It can also improve your ability to do everyday activities. Aim to include strength training of all the major muscle groups into your fitness routine at least twice a week. Most fitness centers offer various resistance machines, free weights and other tools for strength training. But you don't need to invest in a gym membership or expensive equipment to reap the benefits of strength training. Hand-held weights or homemade weights — such as plastic soft drink bottles filled with water or sand — may work just as well. Resistance bands are another inexpensive option. Your own body weight counts, too. Try pushups, pullups, abdominal crunches and leg squats. The muscles in your abdomen, lower back and pelvis — known as your core muscles — help protect your back and connect upper and lower body movements. Core strength is a key element of a well-rounded fitness training program. Core exercises help train your muscles to brace the spine and enable you to use your upper and lower body muscles more effectively. So what counts as a core exercise? A core exercise is any exercise that uses the trunk of your body without support, such as bridges, planks, situps and fitness ball exercises.
