I'm taking a few pieces from Eric Cressey's book Maximum Strength. He explains why stronger is better.
1) More useful in the real world: having a strong body will help you live your daily life better than training for pure aesthetic reasons
2) More motivating: it is more exciting to train to get stronger than it is to train to lose fat or see how much mass you can build.
3) Better for your health and longevity: increasing strength is one of the most effective ways to slow the overall aging process
4) Better way to build self confidence: many people who train for fat loss (or muscle mass) are often motivated by insecurity and lack of self confidence. Some people feel they must look a certain way to be attractive. Training for strength can give you real confidence in your self and abilities
Think about those reasons to train for strength the next time you head to the gym.
What do you think?
