Give the full thing a read, it’s not long, and pretty interesting. Want the best of both worlds? Brute caveman strength, coupled with strong endurance? Why not try out Crossfit Football, and get yourself on the Paleo Diet 
Lifting heavy things, and lifting them fast, sprinting until you puke, making great use of basic gymnastic feats, and eating the way we’ve evolved to eat? Sounds like a fucken plan to me! Find a local Crossfit or Crossfit Football affiliate near you!
