EDIT: Just a quick point...I think this would be more suited for the strength section...not having a dig...just the wrong section mate!
LOL, Joel you should be the Mod of this section
Your dedication is admirable
You're right. I was kind of thinking out loud, really.What do you mean overall strength? And what is your definition of strong? Do you want to be able to lift a 100kg rock over your head or be able to go heavy labouring all day??? Your question and goal is so vast that it will be hard to reach any results if you dont focus in on a goal abit more...
Ahhh sweet memories of crossfit!Cross fit,.....

You're right. I was kind of thinking out loud, really.Felt I had to post something about it, and ask for advice, even if I wasn't making much sense, lol.
It's all pretty confusing, I'll admit. So many different approaches to "strength", so many opinions.
I think strongman maybe is the closest I've seen, after all. And by no means is the "newbie powerlifting" method I'm using currently going to be useless. But I'm checking out that Dinosaur Training book ASAP.
Some powerlifters seem to have a more... holistic(?) philosophy with their training - they not only shore up weaknesses (which, I take it, is smart) but also try and keep opposing muscles fairly balanced (for example). That's part of what I meant... I think.Overall strength, and full on strength in every muscle, without necessarily favouring any.
And using muscles in lots of different ways. Moving and stretching the body all directions, with different lifts. But this almost sounds more like bodybuilding...?
Heh. And I'm lost again. This is what happens when newbies try and understand such things, eh?
But I will read that book. And thanks for some interesting and helpful posts, guys.
What's the program, and where is that log?I follow a NFL training program, hence why my log is not on this forum.
