Every new strength gain I make I apply immediately at judo practice. This gives me constant feedback on my strength gains, makes my judo better, and gives me satisfaction seeing my strength actually being applied to something moving around instead of just being dead weight.
I think that wrestling sports like wrestling itself, BJJ or judo would be a delight for all who love developing their strength. If we're talking about moving your own bodyweight or moving an external weight that is a respectable weight, wrestling sports fit the bill nicely! Many sports reward finesse, speed, endurance, but wrestling sports in particular reward bodyweight and free weight strength in all angles of force and resistance.
In India the old adage is "Wrestling is strength".
Something to think about at least for those strength afficionados wanting to take their strength into the realm of sport or martial art.
