"Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not... A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up."
Mark Rippetoe (Starting Strength)
Speaking as a man who recently doubled his squat strength, I think Mark might be on to something here. He sounds like a bit of an extremist, but any person whose name includes "Ripped" is allowed to be passionate about weight training as far as I'm concerned.
