  We’ve all come across a bloke or two that swear on the Bible about pumping iron and it being the epitome of fitness. Benching 240+ pounds may or may not get you all the ladies but it is sure to make every novice, in and out of the gym, come running to you with a questionnaire on your diet and training methods. But ask yourself, are you really fit or are you just muscular? Owing to mainstream media and television, our idea of fitness has become really skewed aimed at admiring masculine figures that punch holes through walls.
