Oh yeah, just to add to that, something that's probably a little ironic and funny..

Where I used to train, every so often a random guy might come into the gym.

I guess it was more noticeable there, as the athletic focus in that gym was very low, where-as the technical standard was quite high.

Anyways, you'd get some beefy guy, not necessarily a heavyweight, but just a guy that you know hit's the gym regularly.

Everything about him says, "I go to the gym and lift weights and get pumped, so I can look good and get with girls".

And oftentimes, despite this seemingly shallow motive, he's the very type that could give the rest of us such a hard time in the ring, cause of his ability to impose himself - because of his strength.

We might train 5 times a week, hitting pads, sparring, clinching, doing our sit ups and push ups - but some guy who pumps iron a couple times a week to look good, was giving everyone so much trouble - or certainly something to think about.


again, I think it's just a an indicator of how something, seemingly so small, can be so easily overlooked, whilst it's inclusion can advance a fighter almost exponentially.
