So, would you feel like you have extra strength to use? Or would more strength me exerted than giving a weak push before you got strong?
Sorry for the bad wording. This is confusing to explain

I have no idea how it feels to be strong.
Would love to know as well

Moved from the Lounge forum to here.

I think you need to clarify exactly what you're asking.

"Strong" is a very relative word. All I can comment on is the difference between my fitness levels and strength from when I was training to be a black belt in karate (not as cool as it sounds lol) compared to before/long after I'd stopped.

I had more energy (though that's what exercise does for you - so possibly not specific to the "strength" part), I had less aches and hurt myself through pulling muscles less often (again fitness, not just strength) and was able to just do more and lift more. I didn't "feel" different. There was no difference between what it felt like to exert energy, with exception to being surprised I was lifting more/able to do more.

This thread does remind me of this little gem from good old arnie:

Haha sorry for the video. I came across it watching Arnie in a chat show and they brought it up. Found it utterly hilarious.

Gosh i would love that, i wanna go to the gym but i get too tired

i wanna go to the gym but i get too tired

Many years ago, I felt much the same prior to attending the gym.

However, once I started training, fatigue was not part of the equation. You'll find your energy levels will Improve when working out.
