As soon as someone becomes the new strongest member, everyone else loves to chase their lifts and take the crown. When one of them becomes the strongest, they treat everyone else somewhat as enemies, and hope to stay the strongest for just another workout…

Why Training Lighter Makes You Stronger

When the general population thinks about strength training, the same image will likely come to mind: An athlete with a ridiculously heavy weight on their back, red-faced, grunting and grinding out a very slow difficult rep (or two).

Why do haters hate?

"Tuna salad again?! Don't you get bored? I'll never understand you fitness freaks, just eat some cake"

Damn. I thought. I'm just eating my lunch.
