Am I weak physically?

[StormMistress]

I’m curious since cardio wise I’m ok but with lifting heavy objects I really struggle. Like lifting an 11kg box with two hands feels really heavy and tires me out fast.

My body has issues building muscles all my life so I wonder if that’s a big factor.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I had to look up the weight, close to 25lbs. is pretty light.

You should just keep lifting that box until it gets easy to do. You're female so I wouldn't expect you to lift what I lift, but you should lift. It will get rid of those flappy arms, and perk your breasts up so that they're not just swinging around like orangutan tiddies. It will perk up your buns and remove the bullet holes look on your cheeks and make it look bigger in the good way and not just big and droopy in the fat chick way. Plus it will strengthen your bones and tendons which you might not care about now, but once you age a little, you'll be glad you did it.

Cardio is easy, anyone can do it

[DannyUk2017]

Cardio wise you're Ok, because you Carry your own body.. But any other "foreign" object that goes beyond your bodily structure, and is like "extra" body part (even if is an object), then you struggle with it because your muscles are not used with "extra". So soon as you try to lift something, or carry then that becomes a "burden" for your muscle mass and you body sends signals to your brain telling it..."nope, can't do" leave it/put it down...

[Nikki1989]

It depends on what or who you are comparing yourself to. To some people, you are probably doing just fine.

[jojouzumaki]

I don’t think you are. Lift weighs only what you can and check the proper posture in doing so.

[Lurix]

Yeah, lifting can be a totally different ball game compared to cardio. It’s normal to struggle with heavier stuff if you haven’t been lifting regularly. If you want to get better at it, start with lighter weights and slowly build up strength. It takes time, but you’ll definitely notice a difference as your muscles get used to it. Don't sweat it though—everyone’s gotta start somewhere!

[mstbooblover]

Although having no idea of how you really are, I'd like to point out that there's a technique to lift heavy objects. For instance, with your 11kg box, given it's not too clumsyly big, when you bend your knees and lift up with a straight back, the weight will not seem that heavy anymore.

On the other hand, a person not accustomed to physical efforts will anyway have another impression about the notion of weights, be it only because everything is relative ;0)

[Nik1hil]

Your Stamina is Low, you probably are suffering from Parasites in body, nobody should get exhausted from holding 11kgs on them.

Your muscles aren't getting supply of food, parasites are Eating everything..

I play with 20-30kgs..

I pick Dumble of 5kgs just for exercise, in one hand, while curling.

11kgs is Very low weight to get exhausted over..

Get yourself checked

[LiamJHayden]

It sound like you are, but I have no idea how big you are or if you've had any injuries that might limit you. I can bench almost twice my weight, but because of an injury to my right leg in my teens I cannot do a full squat, so in that I am weak.

[pascal_climbs]

If you want to get stronger, you have to train progressive overload. Do weights first and then do cardio. In weights, lookup your limits. Getting stronger is not the same as building muscle. It requires different exercising

[BoopBoopBeep]

That's 24 lbs, so a medium sized dog or less than three gallons of water. Might want to look at the protein and iron levels (at a minimum) in your diet.

I don't want to be like "you're weak"... but...

[ohsheeT]

I don't know how many pounds lb11 kilograms is I guess I better look that up first...
Okay so 11 kg equals 24 lb if you did that for 15-20 minutes a day that would be a good workout and you would become stronger so no you're not physically weak

[FreyaRed]

Try to eat more proteins. Whey protein banana or coffee taste good.

[exitseven]

Add some weight training in with your cardo routine.

[RHK36]

Definitely for your age. Should be able to lift twice that at most jobs of employment nowadays.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Less muscle will definitely make you weaker. Or at least make you feel weaker.

[Juxtapose]

I punch with 15 kg to workout with one arm so yeah, you do seem weak to me.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Damn dude... You punch with dumbbells or something? I beat up punch BOB all the time with these special gloves I had to buy and they're only 3lbs per hand. You're talking about 33lbs and even if that's divided by 2... it's way more than 3lbs. Aren't you afraid of dislocating an elbow or something? ... I am with just 3lbs. You going slow? ... because that's a lot of weight when you're moving fast enough to catch flies out of the air.

There is this science math thing for this... I think its velocity X weight = Power or some shit... It's been a long time since I was in school so I don't really fucking remember. But that's a shit ton of power. You could knock out Mike Tyson and shit.

[Juxtapose]

@D_Bone_Steak I punch with a 35 lb weight (converting to kg led to rounding) and I can do it with each arm 40 times each for a total of 80 times without stopping.

Pro boxers can punch with way more weight than that iirc.

[Juxtapose]

But yes, I do punch with dumbbells. It's pretty fun.

[Juxtapose]

And I should add that it's slower than punching normally but I can get a decent speed. A lot of it has to do with breathing (huge emphasis on that) and focus once you get the strength.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Breath in when you push. I get it all, and done it all. I was just thinking you were beating up a heavy bag or something with that much weight. I boxed and they wanted to put me on television, was training at a boxing joint in down town Los Angeles where the owner was a world champion... youtube videos and shit.

But I joined just to beat people up and for some reason it was free to me. I saw him and how punch drunk he was... all fucked up... wife left him and took his kids... most of his money... and I was like "fuck that shit man, I'm out" and rode the free ride until they realized I had no interest in being on television or becoming like him...

I only say all of this to let you know I'm not new to the game. But I get it... if you're getting into a flat or 35 degree incline and just pushing some weight as hard as you can. I'm over 40 and can confidently beat the shit out of six teenagers that are way bigger than me. ... with a smile on my face. I was just under the impression that you were doing that like shadow boxing and shit.

First thing I learned pretty quick is punching too fast with weight... you can't pull back fast enough. Shit launches off like a missile and it will pull your arm out. It makes you take curl day seriously with no fucks given about your back if you know what I'm saying.

Keep up the good work... you might be the next champ.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Garcia I think it was... first red pill I took about women. You can be champ of the world, but she'll take as much as she can take as soon as you lose your first fight. ... and leave you. Alone and just alone without all the money you earned. Take your kids... all the shit you treasured. Now they all hate you under her influence. Fuck man... thought my life was tough.

[Juxtapose]

@D_Bone_Steak I used breathing techniques from my dojo where I breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. That's cool though you got into boxing, boxers are tough fighters and my sifu always told his students not to underestimate boxers because they will get hit and fucking like it.

Luckily I have never actually had to really fight though, despite studying in my dojo for 11 years before I left the state. The most I've had to do is talk people down and a few people I kicked in the chest gently as a warning shot.. it worked hahahaha 🤣

I do try to care for my joints such as my elbow because I see what happens to people who don't. What's your favorite workout?

Aww thanks man, haha. Since I'm so good at talking people down from fighting me I should get a sparring partner.

[Juxtapose]

@D_Bone_Steak man that's why if I was famous or rich, I would want to hide that shit and see if a woman is really into me for my mind and body. I don't want a woman to be into me for some social status hierarchy bullshit, or $$$$.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Exactly! I hate the idea of a woman being into me because I'm wearing nice clothes, my car, or I play dress up. I want her to be into me because I make her wet when I'm just standing there naked swinging my dick around like a helicopter. It's why I dress like a homeless hiker and drive used cars.

To be honest I think weight lifting for hypertrophy (not for strength) is my favorite workout. I have a home gym. I have a punch BOB, and a reflex bag and a treadmill, but I'm all jazzed about spending 30 bucks for attachments for my cable machine right now. I've figured out how to add chest supported rows and belt squats to my routines with the equipment I got. I got one of those weight cages with the landmine attachment and cable machine and a bunch of benches... PLM03 if you want to look it up. Yeah for sure weight lifting is my main thing. I sort of like power walking while I play DiabloIV at the same time... I stretch one of those work out bands the big 60lbs. rubber bands across the handles of the treadmill and I can rest the controller on it and nerd out on video games while I march. The band keeps me from falling off the treadmill... something mentally keeps me balanced because before I seem to move around when I'm in deep shit on the game.

[kellytheman]

Yeah 25 lbs is not a lot. I think maybe you should do some more lifting.

[FenixG45]

It's NOT a big deal! MOST females are weak physically versus males. However most female pain tolerance makes men look like sissies!

[noohair]

Do you increase protein to build muscles? Without protein, muscles do not grow well.

[Jmmmfi4]

IM THE SAME WAY

IM VERY PHYSICALLY WEAK

[NathanDavis]

might be a matter of posture...

[Jennz6]

I can’t lift heavy stuff either

[Jennz6]

I usually ask a guy to lift really heavy things for me

[RedInnocent69]

@jennz6 and appropriately than them, I’m sure

[Toxic_Skyler]

Do you think you are weak?

[beefcakebradybatson]

How big are you, may I ask?

[monkeymanoohaah]

Keep working it will come

[TallAnon]

Compared to who/what?

[Sim890]

Yes. You are pretty weak

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sound like it
