Sir, (Mr. Benchman)

"Rounded" is the key here. I also need to clarify that the stuff I talked about way up there ^^^^ is intended for older people. You just ain't gonna convince a youngin or gym rat that strength training shouldn't be often.

I do know people that can bench heavy weight but can't do 50 pushups in a set. I know folks with huge lats and biceps that can't do 10 chinups. I know folk with huge thighs that can hardly put shoes on. I know folks who have large triceps that can barely hang a set of mini blinds over their heads. So I still disagree that max weight is a measure of overall health or capability.

I will say for the intended purpose of your first post that "youth" is indeed wasted on the young. There is no substitute for youth, as you know well.
