I never saw a chimp do progressive weight lifting. I have seen one throw a full grown man across a room. My rule of thumb, concerning women is, let no butt be bigger than thine own. I pretty much quit weights about 5 years ago. While in high school,I picked up the progressive reps method in Karate class. We found the other method to be unnatural and slowed one down. There's nothing funnier than watching a 150lb., wisp of a man, kick butt on a 250lb. weight lifter. All movements in marshal arts, mimic animals. As usual, your reply is another example of people, not seeing things natural. "A sharp pointed stick", IMO means more than what you stick in your mouth. It's also a way of thinking. ` [log in to unmask]
