Maffetone seems all about running, cycling & swimming performance. While an
unconditioned novice might acutually get faster by getting stronger,I can
certainly believe that a mid-level long distance runner or tri-athlete isn't
going to improve his times by getting stronger, especially if it adds
bodyweight. There's an underlying agreement between the two seemingly opposing
viewpoints: Don't waste time on training that doesn't concern you. Maffetone
calls it building an aerobic base, McGuff would probably call it sport-specific
skill training & conditioning.--- In Explosive_Fitness@yahoogroups.com, "James
