For some reason many people seem think you can't have more muscle and be faster/more explosive. :\

Steroids obviously helped those home run hitters. Griffrey Jr being the only outlier not doing roids, but he was a lot bigger when he started hitting more homers. Hitting and swinging mechanics are really all the same as throwing a disc.
I'd recommend practicing putting rather than lifting weights.
I lift and it doesn't seem to affect my game outside of helping to maintain my stamina. If you want to workout, that's fantastic. But do it for overall health. The benefits towards DG are absolutely minimal IMO, if we are talking about in shape VS in shape with very well developed muscles.
I've never had my muscles restrict my flexibility, at all.
I want to start going to the gym but I feel like such a n00b trying to lift weights and whatnot. I'm the guy who has to read all the instructions on how to use the equipment
Scrawny nerds rule...?
Haha wow I am about to check this out! The internet is a wealth of information.
I like the idea of exercising without having to buy or use a ton of equipment

Andy, I find your posts very interesting. In your very first post here you bash crossfit (lets get this out of the way, i am a crossfitter), then recommend the person to go to a crossfit box, then warn them about terrible, stuck up crossfit trainers. You really confused me.
I dont have any personal training credentials, but i do think their is a difference between functional and "gym" strength. You also need to define functional. I believe in the weight lifting world it would be defined as it relates to everyday movements in the real world. But really it is whatever you are working toward and want to improve upon. (Ex. baseball players do a lot of baseball specific workouts, basketball players do a lot of basketball specific workouts)
