Never got into lifting weights, found I was ridiculously strong for my size anyway picking full 44gal drums (220-230kg) off the ground and flicking them on the back of a truck when I only clocked in at 64kg myself. At 12 or 13 I saw a mini with a towbar and just picked the back half up by it. Always preferred to be doing something where you got paid for it, or at least you made the scenery change; the more rapidly the better. I still have a tendency to try and run, but it bites me when I do. A lot of the people that spent time in the gym building muscle seem to have had strength but not the endurance nor portability.
