Anything over 50, just to show the kids that age does not have to equal weakness.

I like looking up the older lifters on the internet, it reinforces that we have plenty of scope yet.

The thing I find weirdest is women that start later in life but wouldn't be seen dead in their earlier years lifting weights at the gym. Then if you sit and think about it, at most gyms/fitness centres, I bet 90%+ of women are on treadmills and never go near the weights at all...the question that springs to mind is "why?"

I really think it's because of gender socialisation, we see adverts aimed at women and fitness/health etc but they are always seen to be jogging never lifting weights. Admittedly there is the whole concept of stereotypes and muscular gains as well but TV shows women running and that can't help the issue.

I mean, really, why do women all head for the treadmills, generally? It's an interesting topic.

A dentist starts treatment on an elderly woman and is just getting the drill up to her mouth when he pulls back quickly and says...


Dentist: Excuse me but you're squeezing me extremely tightly in a very painful place...

Woman: Yes, we're not going to hurt each other, are we!?

Good question.

So many of the programs I see aimed at women appear to be designed by market research... Would you be more likely to buy a fitness program that...? I wonder how this impacts perception.

People are obsessed with cardio and movement, when weights and smarter eating will make then look better.

Two things happen to me every winter; people swear at me more and they mistake me for a thermometer. At least one bloke walks up and goes 'Get f**ked, how cold is it?'

Gotta get paid...

Interesting how many in the lifting niche think they deserve to get paid BEFORE they submit their first article. Doesn't work that way. It's like football...no one's going to pay you jack squat unless you get out on the field and prove your chops...

We can find you...



...someone found a camera card (memory card), in the middle of town on the floor, took it to Radio Orkney...Radio Orkney looked at some of the pictures on the card...and from some of the pictures which they put up on Facebook in order to trace the person, 15 minutes later someone contacted them to let them know that the person had been at a conference here and they traced him back to Austria...they got his address details and then posted it back to him.
