How many strengths to YOU have?

And I know this thread is all in good fun but old man, farmer and construction worker strength are pretty much the same - accumulated strength over many years of regularly picking up shit and working with your hands throughout the day with submaximal loads and very occasional maximal loads. A prime example I've observed is a 270 lbs purple belt at our gym who has coal miner retard strength. Then there's a BB at our affiliate gym who sometimes drops in, 280 lbs and competitive powerlifter who can squat 700 lbs. I've not seen the two of them in the same class but if they did, that would resemble your Juggernaut vs. Thing matchup.

Looking good brother

Shit bro you have a top shelf body for your age. I am younger than you by a few years and look like shit compared to you.

Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I think staying relatively lean is a combo of lifestyle and genetics. I started with distance runner genetics and was good at cardio and bodyweight exercises but my powerlifting SBD numbers always sucked. Did a lot of strength training when I was younger and now just trying to maintain as I age and using lower weights. Also working to improve ROM to avoid injury.

Good for you for keeping up with the training as you age.

Also, yeah. It’s common for easy-to-be-lean guys to have weak squat, bench, and deadlift. I’m the opposite and find it hard to lose fat.

You should add climber strength, that's the only person I ever wrestled with and couldn't believe it.

How many strengths do YOU have?

Gymnast strength or bodyweight strength has got to be one. Definitely one of those "different" strengths. I might elect arm wrestler strength too.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Powerlifter and Olympic lifter strength. Unfortunately, nothing else.

That’s changing soon, I hope. I’m training for Judo-specific cardio.

Judo strength is second only to retard strength. It's the gold standard for no retards.
