<p>Do you lift heavy objects to gain muscle, or gain muscle to lift heavy objects?</p>
<p>I don’t know. Are you someone obsessed with their image? Then you would lift heavy objects to gain muscle. If you are a stick who can’t even carry a gallon of milk, you would gain muscle to lift heavy objects. But in order to gain muscle, you would probably have to lift heavy objects.
…So the first one?</p>
<p>Are you saying you have to lift heavy objects to gain muscle? Cause if so then it is the first one, but if that is not what you are saying, it could be either based on personal opinion.</p>
<p>Everyone should care about his or her body image for self-esteem reasons, although some people are obsessed. But if you can’t carry a gallon of milk (or in college it’s more likely a case of beers/keg) that’s really embarrassing too.</p>
<p>This is serious philosophy, please take it seriously.</p>
<p>Do not post on CC when you are high.</p>
<p>“Heavy” is relative. For a 130 lb guy with no strength or innate altheticism, benching 135(one plate) will be very heavy. As you progress, what was once heavy will be what you warm up with. This isn’t rocket science. </p>
<p>BTW, muscle mass does not neatly with more strength. There are olympic lifters who must stay in a certain weight class who are much stronger than many big dudes.</p>
<p>Uhm. Nobody honestly works out to make it easier to move furniture and TVs around. If you lift weights, it is the first option.</p>
