I was 12 years old when I first stepped into a weight room. From that day forward, I wanted to get big, strong, and build bulky muscles. A big chest, big arms, and 6-pack abs – if you had those qualities, that meant you were strong.
If only it was that simple. I’ve met many people who don’t bench press and don’t have 6-pack abs yet would smoke you in any strength-related feat and probably can run faster than you. Inversely I’ve met many men who have big arms, a big chest, and a 6-pack yet can’t swing a 53lb kettlebell. So what gives?
