Heavy weights aren't everything to Paul DeJong. In this video he talks about lifting as much weight as possible isn't always the best approach. In fact, he says, it can often be detrimental to the athlete. He emphasizes that flexibility, mobility, and agility are equally as important as raw strength, and it is important to tailor your strength training accordingly. This means trying different exercises other than the big lifts.
