Why would those people search the word "BODYBUILDING" in Google and find this place to begin with? Why would they search for or join a forum that's 90% about weight training?Not everyone wants to be a BodyBuilder or get into PowerLifting and doing weight training. There are those out there that have been watching "biggest loser" and are now wanting to get a bit more fitter and shredding those extra killo's
You know my thoughts already, we should not have split strength from bodybuilding, and should not present "general fitness" as being different from these things, either.
What varies because of people's goals isn't the general prescription of activity, but whether people use bodyweight, dumbells, kettlebells, barbells, machines, chunks of stone, or whatever. And just how much weight and how much food, etc.
People like to pretend there are a lot of differences in the training regimes because they like to feel elite and special and different. We shouldn't encourage that. It was a step backwards for this forum when we split strength from bodybuilding, it encouraged people to think these things are more different than they are, gave some people a corner to shout from and made this forum less friendly and welcoming to newbies.
Plus not everyone is just interested in weight training there are a lot who are interested in conditioning as well. I think it's a good idea admin.

Ah I tend to want to do most of my sprint training without weights......... Next time think outside of just weight training there are others who use strength training to improve sports performance so therefore they have to use some other modes of conditioning that does not use weights.
Whilst I love telling people to go do weighted conditioning work it is not always the best choice, also weighted conditioning is not the same as strength training it is weighted conditioning training sometimes called GPP etc etc. Also noobs some people like to run 5kms, they enjoy it and it is actually not the worst thing in the world as some people like to make it out to be.
Who is most people? Some people want strength and also to be able to run 5km well. Some people don't though not everyone has the same goals and ideals as you do. There are some guys who need to lift heavy and also run mid distances well. Would I suggest they always run 5km, no but I would have them run shorter distances plus do weighted cardio work, heavy weight training etc.
