Do you even lift, AF bro?

I am an exercise addict, although I don't life weights. Body weight resistance exercise builds more functional muscle for sports. Lifting is mostly just useful for lifting. I do it for participating in a real sport:

Awesome stuff there, Capn. I can only dream of rocks like those where I live. Please, don't forget powerlifting as a real sport though!

I find that lifting has great carryover into my everyday life. I do a lot of physical work on my dad's cattle farm (cutting up fallen trees, building fences, repairing stuff, etc. etc.) and deadlift variations especially have helped with all the heavy stuff that I have to move, roll, pick up, and so on.

Farm boy strength is a real thing, that's for sure. I guess there is a couple of different types of strength. Pure strength and strength to body weight ratio. I need a high strength to body weight ratio. Rock climbing you need strength to body weight, where as dragging around heavy farm stuff you just need to be able to lift a shit ton. I guess what's important really depends on what sport or activity you are doing with it.
