When you start training for strength, you stop obsessing over weight – unless it comes in iron plate form.

There will be no twerking the night after Leg Day. Or driving with clutch control. Or walking up stairs.

Unless your best mate knows the circumference of your biceps, your body fat percentage, your resting heart rate, your entire vocabulary of grunts and groans, your deepest darkest desires, and how to give you a really great groin stretch.

16. We stop lusting over high heels and start going gooey for trainers.

    I bet you can't guess what muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pains, anxiety and burns fat.

    This "hidden primal muscle" in your body will boost your energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic power when unlocked.
