beat me to it stickyIMO specifically training to get stronger and training to look and feel good are different... look at elite powerlifters - they dont necessarily look good, but they're strong as hell. I bet they have plenty of aches and pains too... Whereas a trainer switching to DBs in their older years is likely more focused on the "feel good" bit
again, you are complicating it by bringing in an irrelevant example. Stupiditiy is neither building or demonstrating strength, its ego stroking.
I'll bow out now, it's getting ugly (silly)
Go to the gym and let the ladies perv on you
.
The question is.
Is this effectivly biulding strength?
Or is this just a crude method of demonstrating strength?
Five reps I think by the noise.
My simplistic view is in response to a simple question which you are complicating. To say that the whole point of exercise is strength is simply incorrect.
the point of exercise is whatever the trainee intends it to be - if they are training specifically for strength then that will be their focus and anything else is a (usually welcome) by-product. If however someone's goal is to "look good" then they likely wouldnt care about strength and any gains in that deparment are incidental. Plenty of people train to look good without significant strength increase..
Meh... i use to do a lot of reps with lighter weight at the gym: 12-10-8-6-12-12 benching 60 kilos (for example)
Did about 4 -5 exercises per muscle group and go so fkn strong from it. I use to do a lot of surf boat rowing, so the reps i did at the gym worked well for the sprints we did in the boats.
Out of the boat i was far stronger than i have ever been in my life too
