Strength Wars

If you have not seen the YouTube battles, then you are missing out.


They are so exciting!

I stumbled across "Strength Wars" and watched to exhilarating battles. But, the most intriguing one occurred with The Powerlifter versus Street Workout Athlete. It is going to be difficult for me to hide who won. I will just say that the winning athlete basically had two of the three exercises or drills work in his favor. They were more functional for what he normally does as a workout routine. The other athlete had a musculature that agreed with the exercises, but the functional training was not up his alley.

All in all, the exercises, the coaching, the adrenaline was fair in this contest. I'm not quite sure the position of the bell was fair. But, you can be the judge. I gave it a tie. This battle of strength and others are just one exciting way to see the potential of human performance. Functional training is important as is being overall fit to cross-exercise or dabble in to the domain of another form of working out.

Here is the exciting battle: Strength Wars

With heart,
Derek
