Many years ago, I used to read that Tiger was incredibly strong. He used to live in my little beach town in the L.A. area at the time and he trained at a small neighborhood gym that I went to (pre-SS for me). He did NOT train very hard for strength. He only used the machines and they were always set at low weights for high reps. NO barbell work. I used to smile when I saw articles about his great strength.
His personal trainer was a gorgeous, young cutie who "provided encouragement". I know I too felt encouraged by osmosis.
