Much of modern training assumes that it not possible for you to get extremely powerful and perilous for you to do so. A great deal of money is being profited I suspect, on peoples fears. Worry that if you lift anything even remotely heavy you can harm yourself. That any heavy training will finally damage you beyond repair. That 25lb dumbbells are essentially sizeable weights. What a ton of hog wash! And what irresponsibility and downright criminal negligence on the part of people selling these lies. Even martial artists think if you lift heavy you’ll become muscle bound, not know how to hit harder.

Our life for the main part has become easy. Most peoples top required physical effort for living is getting up off the sofa to go to the chiller. So 99% of the people who do train, do so only because it makes them physically more attractive and mixed inside those group are some health interested people. They’re all missing a major part of the equation and a major point of training. Life is better with strength. It’s possible to get enormously healthy and build endurance, but you will not have the absolute ferocious potency that you could have without strength.

The building of strength, and I’m not talking about being able to lift something terribly light many times, is natural and important to human health and energy. It is both healthy for you and virtually unavoidable consequence of proper training. The only reason people have decried it so is because they have not felt what it feels like to have it. And they found the way to profit off the media based fears of others.

Correctly done training is both safe and will add to your life. Ultimate vigorousness is accomplished through the building of health with super strength and endurance, not without it. You can say that you are healthy because you’re thin or you maybe look like the common well-liked, yet rather effeminate stereotype of what’s “in shape.” Maybe you can even ride an exercise bike for more than 15 minutes without coughing up a lung and lift the really heavy pink dumbbells, the ones no-one else tries the 30′s! You are fooling yourself, because true macho verve isn’t achieved without significant strength.

It adds a depth to your physical reserve and your psychological power that may only be attained thru hard training. Why is it you think that the Eastern disciplines whose primary focus was spiritual betterment thru meditation spent a lot of time on hard physical training? Because they accepted that they are inseparable. To have one without the second is to be incomplete. To never be in a position to explore the entiriety of your own mind and spirit as well as to live with real power.
