I've been busily lifting weights since I was 14, but in college I started running as a way to reduce stress, as I recall.
I've been lifting weights since I was literally 15 or 16 years old. My muscles are short and powerful and built to lift heavy weights, not to be graceful and glide around a dance floor.
I've always been active, and enjoy running and lifting weights.
I like lifting weights. And there is a cardio element to lifting if you're doing it the way I do it.
We'd always said boxers shouldn't lift weights. Now I realize some champion boxer started that rumor. I noticed if I did weights a couple of times a week, I would be able to hit that jab a lot longer. After sparring, everybody's gone, and I sneak into the weight room. Spend 40 minutes in there lifting weights.
I actually used TaylorMade in college. And I've been using TaylorMade since I've been about 14 years old when I really started playing as a junior in events.
I started playing soccer when I was 6 years old and started lifting weights when I was 16, so it's not like I never exercised.
I thought about dropping down to 135, started dieting down, but I didn't feel very good and started to get weak. I decided to give weightlifting and strength training another shot. The first few times I tried lifting weights I didn't like the way I felt, and we finally developed a way of working out where I wouldn't lose my speed.
Running long offers a dress rehearsal. Running long teaches the stress of lifting feet 5,000 times per hour. Running long builds confidence.
Every action has a consequence. It may be good for strengthening. And I have no doubt that lifting a lot of weights can get you stronger. I just don't know if lifting stronger weights can keep you healthy, or it can keep you doing your job better, especially for a pro athlete.
I try to do something every day. I lift weights at least three to four days per week, and I'll intersperse that with cardio. For example, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'll run and do heavy lifting, and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'll spend two hours lifting weights, as well as something like swimming.
It wasn’t until Thor that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.
It wasn't until 'Thor' that I started lifting weights. It was all pretty new to me.
When I started training, I just started running every day, which you shouldn't do. I learned that lesson the hard way by getting a stress fracture.
Everybody always asks me, 'How much can you bench?' I'm like, 'I don't know. I don't lift weights.' Now that I'm in college, we lift weights every once in a while, but not maxing out. We do things with a weight vest on... That surprises people, too, how strong you can get by just basically lifting your body all the time.
I was expelled from school at 14, and whilst everyone else was studying for their GCSEs, I got a membership for that gym, and I just started lifting weights. So while everyone else was in school, I was in the gym sort of bulking up, and when I got to 17, I got a full time job.
I think it is easier for thinner people to build on a frame once you get lean muscle. I get bored lifting weights at the gym, and it isn't enough as your body becomes stiff. So I train in different ways such as core training, cardio with weights, playing sports such as tennis, cycling, swimming and running 10 km once a week.
