As I said earlier, I define work as something that you have to do, and that accomplishes an external purpose. Lifting weights is something that you choose to do so you will look hotter, and it you only accomplish boosting your own body and self-esteem.
I was not bashing working-out, just explaining to Strike why I did not call it real work (for the same reason I would not call training in martial arts real work, though it requires great effort and a large time commitment).
And I never said that lifting will not get you more muscle than work, I simply explained to Strike that having the muscle is not enough if you do not know how to use it for a particular type of work. Real work trains you to use your muscles together, and gives them endurance.
Pardon me if I insulted something sacred by saying that, I did not realize how sensitize everyone was on the matter. Let me make it clear, yes, I realize that you will get a lot of muscle by lifting correctly, and that is why I asked the question. I only compared it to work to answer Strikes question. Sheesh.
