Do you really need weights?...

The big question out there is can we build muscle and stay in shape without having to lift weight?

YES YES YES!!!

Think back to the Spartans and so many other strong forces in our history. How many of them actually spent three days a week for 45min lifting weights? Not many. What they did was consume large amounts of protein from stock and perform either cardiovascular or combat training workouts. What we have done as a civilization is taken out the large demand and hours of combat training for quicker results. Instead of having to perform combat 7 days a week for hours at a time we can slide by with sufficient results on 2-3days/week - 30-60min.

What does this tell us:

1. We do not need weights to build muscle and stay in shape
2. Eat healthy and consume needed amounts of macro nutrients
3. Rest and Recovery
