"Strong" vs. "Fit"

the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the following:

STRONG:
1 : having or marked by great physical power
5 a : striking or superior of its kind
7 : not mild or weak : extreme, intense
9 : moving with rapidity or force
11 a : not easily injured or disturbed : solid b : not easily subdued or taken

FIT:
1 a (1) : adapted to an end or design : suitable by nature or by art (2) : adapted to the environment so as to be capable of surviving
2 a : put into a suitable state : made ready b : being in such a state as to be or seem ready to do or suffer something
3 : sound physically and mentally : healthy


I like 'em. Especially STRONG 1, 7 and 11 and all the definitions of FIT, especially the end of 2b.

We provide a broad, inclusive strength & conditioning fitness program that increases your ability to be both STRONG and FIT. We can only achieve this by defining the end goal. That's why I have you keep a journal. That's why I ask you to write your goals in the front of it.

QOD

If General Physical Preparedness (GPP) is what we generally train for, is the bench press a valid training tool? Are barbell presses (strict, push, jerks), handstand pushups, pushups (and it's variations) enough for our pushing skill?
