Swole =/= strong. Hypertrophy =/= strength.

Okay, yeah, sometimes they're strong too, particularly when they've had the head-start of beginning young and being twentysomething dudes who happen to have body types that allow them to pack on muscle and build strength easily, no matter how cluelessly they train.

But still, if your gym is anything like mine, over time you will see an amazing number of hideously clueless acts being committed.
