You Can Bench How Much? BFD

Basketball is the most athletic sport

The two greatest basketball players are MJ and Bill Russell, neither of whom could lift much (I wonder if Russ ever did)

The NBA this season is forcing teams to sometimes play as many as four nights in a row

For decades, folks have lifted one body part one day a week, then rested that body part until the next time it came up in the rotation

Cavemen didn't bench one day then squat the next. Mutherfucker, when a tiger came after you, you fucking ran. Squat this, dude. You ran, using every muscle in your body

The future of lifting is full body workouts three times a week or so. If your team needs your quads four nights a week, you better be damn ready to use them four nights a week

Does this mean the days of measuring offensive linemen by how much they can bench (useless exercise and always has been) and squat are over? Yes, thankfully

Full body workouts, with an emphasis on different sides of the body rather than muscle groups, with workouts varied to keep the body from getting used to anything, and everything made fun, are the future of fitness
