This is not intended to be a list of reasons why "you" should train with heavy weights. Although I do believe that everybody (young, old, male or female), after developing safe technique, should train with heavy loads. That is an article coming early in the new year. This is more of a personal thing. So personal in fact, that I my body was literally shaking while writing parts of it.

I want to share with you why I lift heavy stuff. I say heavy stuff, because for me it doesn't have to be weights perse. It could be a sandbag, rocks and stones, beer keg filled with water, etc. In fact you could also call this article, "Why I Train With High Intensity," because it's the same reason I love to do my conditioning/cardio work in High Intense Intervals.
