Stronger muscles, longer life: Lifting weights for just 30 minutes a week lowers risk of death from all causes

Sean Payton Explains Why Big Bench Press Numbers At NFL Combine Is A Bad Thing For Linemen
Many, many years ago at a local gym I was working out next to an ex-NBA player. Dude was 7’4″ with an 8’2″ wingspan. He asked for a spot, we chatted a bit. He was very frustrated with his bench press weight. I remember saying something like, “dude, you have to push the bar a foot farther than I do”.
Just get some resistance training in. Anyone who cares about how much weight you’re doing isn’t worth your time. I don’t think I’ve done a one-rep-max in 20 years. I couldn’t even hazard a guess on how much weight I can do in a particular exercise.
