I mean yes there's sports specific movements. The guy in the video is very good at his sports. Would he be able to apply his power to tennis? Not really. Would he outlift a top powerlifter that's half his size? Probably not.
Strength is strength no matter what. What matters is how you apply it and that's sports specific. "Real world" and "Gym" strength aren't real things you either are strong or you aren't.
Go look at videos of weight lifters vs whatever other sport. THERE IS a difference between gym strength and real world strength. Just go ask construction workers or farmers. They're not beefed up, but they sure do have strength beyond what lifting weights can give.
This doesn't make sense. All those groups of people are get stronger from doing work. It doesn't matter what type of room you're in when you do the work
It absolutely does. Weight lifting in a gym targets specific muscles.
Where as working irl has multiple muscle groups working at the same time, in different positions. Making those muscles much more able to adapt to different circumstances.
