Yeah i has always been the same.. How far can you push the body (sorry no puns intended!)... Nowadays it's running... The worse the weather, the further the distance, the harsher the terrain.. The more I love it.. Sucker for punishment (again no pun intended  ) |

"I found Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was the absolute best test and challenge I ever put my mind and body through I would highly recommended anyone take it up "
I've beat the shit outta my shoulders over the years with strongman and powerlifying I think they would break off doing BJJ  |

You would sleep that night for sure

"All limits can be pushed if you make a game of it.
First, I like to see how many envelopes I can lick in a day, then try to break that record."
True but was really thinking about physical activity like in sports and such like |

No you wouldn't, you;d be worried if you folded 10 or 11 times and if that one time the temperature was right, and if tomorrow the whole thing will flake to bits |

I'm just finished pushing. Thought I was gonna die trying to keep up with speedy racer in front, but I help my own and made it one for one on the second run. When you want to stop, that's when you know you should keep going.

"If you want to push your physical limits try strongman! I've competed in many sports and strongman puts the most stress on the body by far.."
Deffo agree, competed in it many years ago and it's such a buzz feeling |

"Anyone else enjoy seeing how far... Physically they can push their bodies. I was always into heavy lifting but I tried bodybuilding style training.... Lighter weights more reps..... But just didn't feel as good as when I'm putting plates on the bar and see how far I can push my limits.
Anyone else get a better feeling from pushing rather than just "training"...... Or am I just sadistic  "
What sorta exercises and rep ranges do you normally do?
Obviously theee are alot of exercises/stations that you shouldnt even bother considering going low reps(anything below 6 i class as low rep)
Plus there are different ways of increasing intensity without hitting high weight % numbers...shorter rest periods...say 1 minute rest....supersets...giant sets...dropsets...slow down the rep(time under tension) also..
I do alot more warm up sets...then hit a top set(all out)for as many reps as possible....looking to get anywhere from 8-12 good reps keeping form,then would do a back off set of around 20% less weight than the top set then try and uit a higher number in reps....thats HIT(high intense training)leave nothing in the tank for that specific exercise.
But i also do 3-5 working sets too during workouts...as long as ppl work there ass off and use good form and challange themselves and dont pussy foot around...resting too long then thats all u can ask...enjoy yourselves and do it with a purpose  |

Cycling now that's a nice one. 115kg bodyweight is still a good bit to be dragging up a big hill on the bike
