David Kirsch Quotes

I've always overworked in the weight room. I love working with weights. I knew they'd give me the strength I needed.

I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

I don't need to do that many weights but every now and then I do the bar, with 25-30 kilos on either side, which amounts to roughly probably my body weight. I lift this up above my head, then drop it and lift it up again.

I do a lot of free weights in the gym, with lots of squats, lunges and push-pull exercises to help develop strength and power.

I don't do heavy weights at all.

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

I occasionally go to the gym and I lift free weights, I don't use machines.

Lifting weights is obviously important, because you want to be strong and fast and all of that, but it's not one of those things you gotta go and try to bench as much as you can every day. A bench press isn't going to help you throw a 15-yard out or a deep comeback. It's not about that. It's about training right.

My system uses no apparatus. The resistance of your own body is the best and safest apparatus.

Everybody always asks me, 'How much can you bench?' I'm like, 'I don't know. I don't lift weights.' Now that I'm in college, we lift weights every once in a while, but not maxing out. We do things with a weight vest on... That surprises people, too, how strong you can get by just basically lifting your body all the time.

We never did a lot of weights, but a lot of repetitions. The most I would use doing squats was 300 pounds.

I've been doing a lot of strength and stretch work to get stronger.

When I do train heavy, it's typically one to two days a week, but the training I do just about on a daily basis is Pilates-based.

Building strength is very important, but there are many ways to do that.

When I go to the gym I never do cardio, it doesn't really work for me. It makes you fitter and it makes your stamina better, so it's better for your heart, but for me weights and resistance training is what sculpts your body so I do that.

I'm back in the gym doing squats. I still do the old school stuff. I'm just not concerned about putting the weight on as much as just going through the motions to keep things lubricated and stretched out.

I work out with Pilates - it's a great workout for body alignment. I work out every day with once a week break. I mix it with weight training and cardio.

I have always maintained you should be able to bench press and deadlift at least twice your body weight.

Lots of weight training, squats, a little bit of cardio, but mostly just adding more weights into my workouts. And working out with friends to make it fun. That's always so important.

If your goal is to look different, you'll see results faster with strength training than with cardio alone.

I love it and really, really enjoy weight training. I love free weights. I find it really rewarding.

I do loads of squats with weights. It's great for your bum and legs.

Weight training keeps you fit and helps build your strength.

I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.

I'm a big runner, and I like to lift heavy. I'm not one for those little two-pound dumbbells - my goal is to be super-muscular in my 40s.
