I've talked to many intelligent people and professors who insist that talent doesn't exist and that expertise is almost exclusively determined by practice. To me, this is as preposterous as a belief in witches or unicorns, but damned if they don't defend it with verve.

Hershel Walker never lifted a weight until after his NFL career.

Wikipedia says, "Instead of lifting weights, he has a daily regimen of 750 to 1500 push-ups & 2000 sit-ups [...] same routine since high school"? Surely this is "gym rat" with respect to Baalren's point even if the push-ups didn't happen in a literal gym!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel_Walker#Training_and_diet …

That training regimen isn't going to leave anyone other than an extraordinary person in shape to play in the NFL. By time spend training, gym rat. By time spent doing *effective* strength / conditioning training - no. No one else uses that training program for a reason.
