Build Muscle You Can Really Use
Friday, November 28th, 2008
A lot of people think you’ve got to hit the weight room to really build muscle. It’s understandable, but they’re mistaken. You can skip the weights entirely. Think about it: real strength isn’t about isolating a muscle group and working it to death. The kind of muscle power you really need should give you functional strength.
Functional strength means you have ability to get yourself up a flight of stairs. It means you can lift your groceries and load stuff into your car. Functional strength is the power to live your daily life. But as you age, that power starts to fade.
