Strength & power are not one in the same.
Strength - The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension in order to overcome an external force.
Power - Ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time.

I want to be both strong and powerful...as I am already confused.
To improve your strength try dog sledding; only the dogs get to ride on the sled while you pull.
To improve your power try dodging fast moving traffic; this will improve your agility and speed.
These are real world workouts ;)
