I'm going to revise my last post. I thought about it and realized that naming specific sports and being proficient at them was a bit hasty. Instead, I'd like to keep the attribute of that "cross trainer" but substitue a new, more acurate definition. What would be more appropriate would be to say "I'm going to strive to be strong, fast, explosive, agile, flexible, tough and enduring all at the same time."

Care must be given and I must remember that when one tries do undertake too many training modes at one time, all of them can be severely compromised. For example, working toward extreme strength AND extreme leanness concommitantly is many times an exercise in frustration.

However, I believe one can be "quite" strong and "quite" lean at the same time. Perhaps the extreme ends of either or both will be compromised but I believe the uotcome will be well worth the effort and experimentation.

Cross Training

No, I'm not talking about being too skinny and too weak to do anything properly. That's what comes to mind when I see that term used. It's usually describing someone who jogs a little, hits the machines at the gym and plays softball once per month.

I'm talking about a new, improved definition of cross training. Maybe even a new name. The question is this; is it possible to be a fairly proficient olympic lifter, powerlifter, fast sprinter, tough fighter, high jumper and my true love; Highland Gamer?

I'm going to find out! Stay tuned.
