Recommended: Benefits of weightlifting

I remember back in tenth grade I made a decision that would change my life for ever I decided to go into the weight room and lift weights. Why exactly I don’t know but I do know that from that day on I was hooked on lifting. That day was the day that I started lifting weights seriously and it was one of my best decisions ever. Ever since then I have been almost obsessed with getting as strong as possible, and luckily for me I wasn’t the only one. Many other people have done plenty of research on what supplements, what workouts, and how much you should workout to get stronger and better. Before this paper I knew some of the basics about working out. I knew that training legs was more important than training arms even though it was significantly

I was the "tough" one out of my family by the time I was in the ninth grade I could use two weed eaters at the same time and pick up the back end of a golf cart.

  • Strength is In the Eye of the Beholder

    In my quest to create a well rounded and A+ worthy essay about Shakespeare's As You Like It, I came upon key elements of popular culture pertaining to feminism and the rhetoric used to describe it. Of course, “strong female character” is a term thrown around plenty now days, however, I never took a moment to contemplate what it meant. Unfortunately, my research dredged up a plethora of unsettling ideas about what traits strong females posses, and has led me to think films should no longer portray what is now classically called “strong” and instead produce more realistic female characters, thus redefining a more positive representation of women. Without this awareness, young adults will continue to believe that a strong woman falls into three categories; abnormally smart, irrevocably sexy, and unquestionably strong.

  • Misconceptions about Phisique Portrayed by the Media

    After reading this paper, there should be a better understanding of how the media incorrectly portrays these ideas. First, I’m going to focus on how the media destroys people motivation by displaying misleading photos in their advertisements. Most gyms, workout facilities, and athletic wear clothing get models that are very physically fit to advertise their company in their commercials, which is understandable because you do want the best to advertise your product. But when using people that look like they have been in the gym working out for over ten years, it can be very discouraging to the person that is just trying to start working out. And even more discouraging, most gyms will use models that use supplements that help improve their body size and strength.

  • Reflection On My Journey As A Lifter

    1830 Words  | 4 Pages

    Then, I knew for sure I never wanted to stop. I was not addicted to lifting because of how it made me look or that I could eat a lot; those were just bonus’. I was addicted because it made me feel great, not just when I lifted, but afterwards when I was so exhausted, even the morning after when I was sore. Soreness meant I achieved my goal of tearing my muscle fibers. When I felt the pump, I was in heaven. After the lift, I would focus so much better and I would get to sleep much faster and sleep with much more quality. It is hard to explain, but I became mentally healthier. Before I lifted, if I got angry, I would hide in my room and eat junk food, or if I got frustrated I would cry. But since then, I would just bottle up my emotions and use them at the gym, use the negativity to achieve something positive. I was at my peak
