As Jack Lalanne once said…Do lions stretch before chasing down a gazelle? Nope.
He knew more than any of you.

Who said anything about stretching?

He never warmed up man, its a medical fact[/quote]
Sounds like just a regular fact to me 
In reality, you’re taking the opinion of one man and telling me that is stands over the countless opinions of others who are well versed in training as well.
One other aspect that you’re forgetting to remember is that we’re not lions.
His quote is actually pretty ridiculous, to be honest. Just because he was a fitness great, that doesn’t make EVERYTHING he says true!

Tell me how many of those others “well versed in training” will be able to tow 70 boats 1.5 miles at age 70 while handcuffed. It’s a physical fact that Jack did that without warming up. If you guys wanna waste 45 minutes stretching and warming up before lifting I suggest you join Curves and start a website called e-nation.

Once again, who said anything about stretching and 45 minutes of warming up? My post talks about a brief sequence of progressive weight warm up sets that takes very little time. If you want to have a legitimate discussion, than keep the facts straight and don’t exaggerate.
As for Jack’s comment; I don’t care if he pulled 1000 boats, he’s still able to be wrong.
Like I said before, his comment is ridiculous, as we’re not lions. On top of that, unless the lion is squatting in a power rack, I don’t care that he doesn’t warm up. Comparing a quick cardio burst to heavy resistance training is also ridiculous. It seems like you really like him, but don’t let that blind you to the fact that not every single word that he spoke was right. Seriously, you’re making yourself sound pretty off base.

I am keeping the facts straight, the guy lifted into his 90s and didn’t have any joint problems. We’re not lions, what’s your point? Our muscles work the same way. I’m not the off base one arguing with Jack. Arnold Schwarzenegger once stated, “That Jack LaLanne’s an animal!,” after LaLanne, at 54, beat a 21-year-old Schwarzenegger “badly” in an informal contest.[/quote]
Dude what is up with you? You are NOT keeping facts straight. Again, no one is talking about stretching for 45 minutes. This is about warming up or “ramping”. LaLanne was to a large extent an endurance athlete, not someone who set strength records. His attitudes are actually quite dated.
