“Fitness has gone through many phases over the years. It you look at old time strongmen, they had a few heavy object, gravity, and their brain. They still got incredibly strong. Times changed and the never ending need for variety is provided by marketers and not the trainees creativity. The rise of the machines, an idiotic but provocative concept that you need a several thousand dollar machine to train one muscle caught on and never really left us. If you walk into any modern fitness facility they instantly give you a tour of the machine area, the free weight area, and the aerobic area. The larger and greater amount of equipment seems to be the measuring stick by which fitness is validated.The question remains how much equipment is needed?. External force is certainly a requirement for great adaptations in lean body mass yet there are those athletes who grew up in extreme conditions and use only the most primitive of tools. They have shown great results. Not necessarily capable of 1000 pound squats, but certainly mobile, strong, agile, and muscular.
