True, but be careful to not fall into the other extreme.
There was a time when I was lifting 3 times a week, every week, bench pressing 100kg, etc. And I tried to ride a bike uphill (pretty long ride) and nearly puked my guts out.
You need both strength and endurance. And some fine motor skills, like playing ping-pong or throwing a frizbee.
And some R&R interspersed in there, regularly, otherwise you'll collapse from stress sooner or later.
It's probably impossible to have a perfect exercise regime and live a modern busy life, but the bottom line is - diversity is good.
i am shocked that a bunch of dorks with something to prove have used this post as an opportunity to start droning on about strength training, intervals. it's almost like correlation/causation or dunning kruger
p.s the average man in a gym can't bench 100kg. maybe a rep or two with some generous spotting
That is quite an accomplishment, considering that the world record is currently only 1102 pounds, set late last year.
You clearly must be using a much smaller unit of measure, perhaps grams (1.6 kg, or roughly 3 pounds) or ounces (105 pounds). Either way, that amount of weight is considered below average for a male of average height who has been weight training for more than a few months.
