A while ago Hrdgain recommended reading up on Musashi. It is good stuff.
Here is a translated ecopy of the book, http://www.samurai.com/5rings/
You can also purchase a copy at amazon.
There was also an article at t-nation, how it relates to strength,
Musashi On Strength - http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=720289

Reading is GOOD...
