Glad you like him too. Yavor p.s. here is another easter quote that I really like, this time coming from Japan: <blockquote>Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought. ~Matsuo Basho </blockquote> Alex,

But in the end strength correlates with size. So for size you ultimately need more strength (i.e weight on the bar) Cheers, Yavor chica yes you can. But in the end strength correlates with size.

Especially the idea of the pendulum swinging too far in one direction or another. The biggest problem with the "Functional Training" craze was the fact that it really wasn't all that functional!! The mainstream of trainers picked up gimmicky exercises and called them functional, but most of them could be described more suitably as "corrective" exercises. Real "functional" training is more about the applicability of new found strength and conditioning to whatever your life or sport has in store for you. Throughout history, most strong men were training <b>for</b> something. I think that is an interesting thing to keep in mind. I wrote a post about that not so long ago: <a href="http://www.bettersbetter.com/the-beauty-of-a-functional-physique.html" rel="nofollow">The Beauty of a Functional Physique</a> If you combine the ideas in this post with the pursuit of the Functional Physique, I think you have a real winning formula. Thanks for more food for thought Yavor. Cheers, Adam Hey Yavor,
