An interesting phenomenon: there are many meathead gymbros who train stupid and are swole. There are no clever academics who train smart instead of hard and are swole.

You can get strong despite bad training if you just do it for long enough and consistently enough. But you can't outsmart a lack of effort.

The ideal would be someone who does both, but fundamentally I see training smart as optional but training hard as fundamental.

Agreed. I believe effort matters most, but training smart at the same time helps to be less wasteful of time and effort, not to mention safety.
