Achieving The Standards 1.0 - 135 press, 225 bench, 315 squat, 405 deadlift - is more important and useful than getting down to 10% bodyfat and it's not even close.

The notion that strength training for sports equals trying to mimic sport movements with some type of resistance instead of dramatically improving force production on core universal movement patterns first, remains one of the most persistent sources of error in the entire field.

Replying to @sam_gzstrength
The lack of understanding around Strength = general and sports = specific, has to be studied. Strength can be applied to any physical activity and enhance performance.

When I was lifting my heaviest, I had almost as much satisfaction that pulling 600 became routine, something I could do on any given day if I wanted to and it wouldn't smoke me, as I did from pulling 700 a few times.

At a lot of well equipped strength gyms accross the nation you have a decent chance of seeing someone pulling 600-700 on a random Tuesday morning hence 500 not being heavy

“You built great legs. How much do you attribute to squatting in the beginning?” “90%” Everyone today wants to skip ahead to the advanced, complex training that already developed lifters do Listen to the pros Build your base ᵀᴹ
