If a program of physical activity isn't designed to get you stronger or faster or better conditioned by producing a specific stress to which a specific desirable adaptation can occur, you don't get to call it training. It's just exercise.

Strength is an excellent example of a physical characteristic that drives improvement in other athletic parameters. More strength means more power, more endurance, better coordination, and better everything else. This is why, all other things being equal, the stronger athlete is the better athlete.

What we're trying to do is get things fixed, not allow them to stay broke.

I can teach idiots to squat in ten minutes.

If you are so inflamed that you can't train, and ibuprofen and fish oil help with inflammation, maybe you'd better take the ibuprofen and fish oil.

Mediocre athletes that tried like hell to get good are the best coaches.

There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy.
