24⟩ Do you know how would you think of a time when you had to make a decision but lacked all of the facts?

If you go ahead and make the decision without waiting to gather all the information, your strength might be in taking practical action as a means to clarify a situation. Your weakness might be shortsightedness.

On the other hand, if you waited until you got more facts before making the decision, your strength may be in analysis and certainty, while your weakness may be over-cautiousness.

25⟩ What is a power strength?

Power considers how quickly you can use your strength. From a technical, physics standpoint, power is the rate of doing work. Hurling a heavy ball a short distance is not as powerful as throwing a lighter ball twice as far. And lifting the same barbell weight but taking longer to do it indicates less power.

But we do not need to be this technical to think of power in our daily lives. In our style of training, increased power is usually measured by how fast we can move our body around. For instance, we can can see how powerful we are by how high or far we can jump. Another example comes from fighting sports, where power is measured by how hard you can punch and kick.

28⟩ Please give an overview of strength training?

Strength training works your muscles with some form of weight or resistance. Some common examples include lifting free weights or using weight machines at a gym. But you can also use your own body weight by doing push ups and chin-ups. Or you can challenge your muscles by pulling on stretchy resistance bands. These can be anchored under your foot, to a door handle or around a bedpost, for instance.

Whatever exercise you use, there are four key techniques or types to help you build key aspects of strength. The key difference between the techniques is the number of times (repetitions) you perform each exercise. The number of times you complete a group of repetitions, known as a set, also has a bearing on your training outcomes.

29⟩ Tell me how would you think of a time when you have been put on the spot and had to react immediately?

The person who rattles off a brilliant comeback or who solves a problem quickly can be said to have quick-wittness as a strength, and perhaps limited depth as a weakness.

The person who takes time to think could be described as having planning as a strength and perhaps limited nimbleness as a weakness.

30⟩ How would you start building strength if you are a beginner?

In most weight training programs, beginners can progressively add weight to an exercise at nearly every session.

There is quick progress in the beginning of any weight lifting program due to simply getting used to the new movements. This neurological gain in strength is best described as learning the skill of the movement pattern and getting better at it, whether it is pushing a barbell overhead or swinging a kettle bell.

31⟩ Why must there be progressive overload for improving your physical strength?

Finally, as you keep training regularly, you will adapt and get stronger, so your workouts have to get progressively more difficult. That ample amount of resistance when you first started will soon become too easy and will no longer be enough to induce any improvements in strength.

If you want to keep getting stronger, then your workouts will never get easier.

There are hundreds of ways to make different programs with as many different philosophies of training but they all have to obey the above three rules if you want to build strength.

32⟩ What are the basics which will help you get started for your physical strengths?

These four basic exercises can take you from scratch to a very good level of strength without needing to touch any kind of weight.

☛ For push-ups, you can do them on your knees and if that is too difficult you can push off of a table, counter top or even the wall in front of you, then work your way down to the floor as you get stronger.

☛ For pull-ups, you can use bands or a tall box to take some weight off of your arms.

☛ In the hollow body hold, you would bend your knees and bring your arms to your sides and, if necessary, even add a cushion behind your upper back for support.

☛ For squats, you can hold on to support and use your hands to help you up.

34⟩ Why must your intensity level be sufficient for improving your physical strengths?

The first rule is that you have to hit a certain threshold of exertion. It is not enough to just move your body around for 30 minutes, rather your activity has to reach a certain level of difficulty.

Simply walking is not going to build strength unless you have been bedridden for several weeks. You have to do more than what you usually do in your daily life.

35⟩ How would you think of less challenging situations that are still hard but not so life and death?

The person connecting with others is strong at socializing, while the quieter person is strong at connecting individually. Both these strengths can be used to the person's natural advantage.

It might not be effective to call either relational style a weakness, although in certain situations, garrulousness can be a weakness and shyness can also be a weakness. The silver lining is that both of the "weaknesses" can be improved upon.

37⟩ How would talk about your strengths confidently but not your weaknesses?

Try to be confident while still staying humble about your achievements and skills. Of course, try to truthfully pick strengths that could be in line with the individual, business or organization to which you are applying. Real strengths fall into three main categories:

☛ Knowledge-Based Skills: computer skills, languages, technical know-how, etc.

☛ Transferable Skills: communication and people management skills, problem solving, etc.

☛ Personal Traits: sociability, confidence, punctuality, etc.

38⟩ How would you give examples when talking about a weaknesses?

It is all well and good to say that you have amazing people skills but it is another thing to show it. Illustrate what your weaknesses look like in real life by providing examples:

Example:

I am not an excellent communicator. I care about the words that I use and about avoiding ambiguity when I communicate. I am a bit afraid to follow up with someone who is senior to me when I do not understand them. I take the time to imagine how different people might interpret questions or statements differently.

39⟩ How would you show the interviewer how you strive to overcome your weakness?

Being practical here is better than being idealistic because the idealistic response could seem unrealistic.

Example:

I am taking serious steps to curb my habit of procrastination. I am setting artificial deadlines for myself and offering personal incentives to meet those deadlines. I am also seeing a career coach (be truthful here, no lies) who is helping me unpackage the potential root causes of my procrastination, which we think could be arrogance.

40⟩ How would you acknowledge the bad parts of your weakness and how they could affect your performance?

It can be quite impressive to talk about how your weakness has affected or could potentially affect your work performance. It shows insight and truthfulness, although you still need to be tactful about what you say.

Example:

Right now I am a procrastinator. I realize that this affects the amount of work that I could get done, as well as potentially the work that my colleagues could get done. In college, I got away with it because I knew the system, found a way to game it and still got my work done. I realize that this will not work in the professional world, both because it is wrong and it is lazy.
