How to be strong.

I read in a site drmirkin.com that lifting weights enlarges your muscles and makes you stronger. Some body builders lift weights for more than 6 hours a day, but you don't have to waste that much time to become very strong. Training for weightlifting is done in sets. A set of 10 means that you lift and lower a heavy weight 10 times continuously before you rest. If you repeat these sets of 10 three times with a rest period between each set, you have done three sets of 10. Most competitive bodybuilders spend hours trying to do many sets over and over again. You don't have to do that. Various studies show that you can gain up to 80% of your maximum strength by picking only 4 to 8 specific lifts; lifting one set of ten of the heaviest weight in each, and doing this only in two workouts a week. The reduced workload causes fewer injuries and leaves you with a lot of extra time to do other things.
