Does lifting weights make you stronger?

Like do you feel stronger in everyday life, does it help you lift other things than weights?

Does this strength do anything for you to make life easier or is it just mostly for the muscles/swag

no, not unless you're training for functional strength

>swag

Are people giving out cool swag in the gym?

Did I miss the swag trolly?

The feeling is not exactly me being stronger, but everything I have to carry seeming lighter. If that makes any sense.

Mostly it made my knees and back stop hurting.

>functional swag

no, bulk is all water weight, real strength comes from muscle tone, 13 reps per set being the ideal tone zone.

No. If anything I felt stronger before, but I also now avoid doing anything that might hurt me at work while before I had wreckless abandon.

Though I am way the fuck stronger than I was before so it could help if I tried... ?

Hasn't helped me noticeably. And I've done heavy woodworking and do mechanic work at a bowling alley. So moving heavy shit is a regular part of my life. You typically have to move things in tight spaces, maneuver, twist, and align them. The limiting factor is grip strength and forearms. Yeah sure sometimes you pick something heavy up off the ground, but it isn't the norm.

I was a musclesless fat fuck before, not as much anymore. Basically everything is lighter and easier to move. Feels damn good when you can see the effect the gym is having in all the little daily things.

Yeah nice try kid, I guarantee that I'm twice as strong as you are with your gym muscles. I deadlift 500 pounds one leg when I get out of bed in the morning. My hot pocket weighs 85 pounds, you try doing your lat raises at that weight. Functional strength my unwiped anus.
