Thanks, Carlyn! Is that a 20 kg Eleiko Plato stamp?

(bad gym-bro pun could not be resisted)

Joking aside, functional weight training is great for different sports, not to mention great for longevity.

Training for my main sport (boxing) leads me to a body which is not the classic bodybuilder shape. My obliques are too big and my chest too small. More Sponge Bob than Arnold. There are a lot of combat sport guys and girls at my gym.

It is true there are lots of gyms that are just meat markets/ Sausage fests/testosterone jungles, but I think that is more of an 80/90s stereotype than than vast majority. Nowadays, at least here in Europe, there are lots of gyms where people are going to socialize while working off the stress of life.
