Slamming the free weights isn't just prison yard fun. We can all benefit from some weight lifting. If heavy lifting is part of your daily work, you will be hard pressed to see why you should lift anything without getting paid to do so. Some lads will say weight lifting is just work for no money. To have a long career in manual labor, you will have to train to stay in the game. When you are young it is different. You get strong fast and stay that way.
At any yard sale you can find cheap barbells and dumbells, weight benches,etc. The more sedentary you are, the more of this gear you will need. Say you tape drywall for a living. All you will need is a single dumbell to pump with the opposite of your trowling hand. This will keep your back in balance. If you slug away in some cubicle on the phone all day, you will need to hit the iron hard to keep from turning to mush.
This isn't just for the fellas, you gals need to do a bit of lifting too. Let's not all turn into a bunch of shriveled old ladies any sooner than we must.
