No, not a debate, like you said, I have no experience with them and can't really comment at all. I was just bringing up what works for me.

I did mention that I was surprised that wrestling wasn't considered adequate core work for MMA folks, but that wasn't directed here nor there. Just thinking about how burnt out I would feel after wrestling another person fighting me and how I think that would tax my core (and everythign else) pretty badly. It was more of a personal observation than a critique of anything.

Nah, my ideas are not better, just different. I talk up strongman a lot because I know the impact it has had on my body, and I know that I was once a guy watching it on TV thinking "I wish I could do that." but with no real idea how. So I bring it up as another tool in the belt, not as a superior method (though to be honest, it has worked very well for me, and I appreciate the simultaneous training of endurance and strength... which isn't to say that you can't accomplish this in a gym, but I never really experienced it until strongman).
