Weight lifting a joke?

Of course training carries over into other areas of life. I run a cattle station in Oz and throwing around 90 lb bags of feed all day would be a hell of a lot harder if I didn’t train.

Big Martin, you hit the nail on the head when you said “wanabe cowboys.” We are starting to get the same type over here. They are generally kids who couldn’t hold a job in town so they go bush. You are right about the ego thing that goes along with them as well. Maybe we really are turning into America

I think the US farming industries are much more intensive than here hence smaller farms, less physical labour and a chance for farmers to get fat.

All the time dude… there is a serious lack of lifters where I work… My mom is like that too where she thinks I am spending my money frivolously at the gym.

I could really identify with Chris Shugart’s article “Merry Christmas Bob” (I have posted it on my wall at work)

Thrasher: No offense but unless your girlfriend is supremely gifted and endowed by God to have a genetically superior body I’m sure she could use the gym. You just have to show her the path. :slight_smile:
