This is the number one reason why you need to be lifting weights.

Welcome to the Diesel Dad.

My name is Anders Warner and we created this channel because there's a lot of dads that

are fat and unhappy and I don't want you to be one of them.

Now you can go to the internet and type in immediately into Google.

Why is lifting weights important?

And what you're going to get is this laundry list, literally millions of responses that

Google is going to shoot back at you.

And people are going to talk about building muscle and building strength and building lean

body mass and hypertrophy and the three things that go into it.

You also are likely going to find information about how to boost your metabolism and the

to be lifting weights has nothing to do with your metabolism has nothing to do with muscle

and it has everything to do with building a system and structure of learning and creating

not to improve by lifting weights.

But first and foremost, we need to understand the basics, right?
