My goal is just to big and scary enough to tell boys to piss off of me doorstep without moving, I have 3 daughters and am not getting any younger. By the time the last one is old enough to have boys sniffing around Ill be near 50, no matter how strong I am or how tough I like to tell myself, a 20 yo young fit rugby player is someone I want to bluff not try and fight, so as long as my gym sessions allow me to do that I is a happy camper.
And that's fine.
The purpose of my threads is to gauge length of time spent in relation o your strength.
You don't need to be a good PLer.
If you train for strength, for any reason, I'm curious to know how long you train for.
Do stronger people choose to train for longer to get stronger?
Or do stronger people take longer to train?
I think my strength is probably an accurate representation of my training input.
LMAO 2 daughters for me, similarly motivated

To be fair, not everyone is aiming to be a successful powerlifter...and some have kids, jobs, other interests that just take priority. And some just don't have access to a good gym as often as they'd like.
It wasn't meant as an attack. It was more to point out the obvious to wannabe powerlifters.

Same here... 4 year old and a 2 month old (with a 2 year old boy in the middle, who I will be getting under a barbell as soon as possible haha). I often say that the only reason I have tattoos, shave my head and go to the gym is so that when Bailey is a teenager, the boys will be wanting to have a long hard think before knocking on our door
Yeah definitely. But is it fair to say it correlates to peoples specific goals in most cases?
I guess if you're simply looking to get stronger to perform better at a specific sport, then training 2+ hours powerlifting each day could ultimately affect you negatively.
For those training shorter, is it a time factor or a goal factor? For me, its a goal related thing.
While I don't disagree with you, it might help if we define strong. "Strong" can be anything from "mildly impressive to people who've never lifted before" to "world record holder."You don't need to train for ages to be strong imo. For years I only did 2-3 sets of deads once a week (& 6 sets of other back work).
However, I find for me squats & bench seem to respond better to more frequency/volume.
