Much of modern training presupposes that it not possible for you to get very strong and dangerous for you to do so. A good deal of money is being profited I suspect, on people's fears. Fear that if you lift anything even remotely heavy you will harm yourself. That any heavy training will ultimately damage you beyond repair. That 25lb dumbbells are essentially big weights. What a ton of hog wash! And what irresponsibility and downright criminal negligence on the part of folks selling these lies. Even martial artists think if you lift heavy you'll become muscle bound, not know how to hit harder.
Our life for the most part has become really easy. Most peoples top required physical effort for living is getting up off the chair to go to the fridge. Thus 99% of those who do train, do so just because it makes them physically more attractive and mixed within those group are some health interested folk. They're all missing a serious part of the equation and a major point of training. Life is better with strength. It's easy to get tremendously healthy and build endurance, but you won't have the definite aggressive potency that you may have without strength.
The building of strength, and I am not talking about having the ability to lift something very light many times, is natural and important to human health and vitality. It is both healthy for you and almost unavoidable effect of proper training. The main reason folk have decried it so is because they have never felt what it feels like to have it. And they found the way to profit off the media based fears of others.
Correctly done training is both safe and will add to your life. Ultimate verve is achieved thru the building of health with super strength and resilience, not without it. You can say that you're healthy because you are thin or you perhaps look like the common well-liked, yet rather effeminate stereotype of what's "in shape." Perhaps you can even ride an exercise bike for over 15 minutes without coughing up a lung and lift the really heavy pink dumbbells, the ones nobody else tries the 30's! You are fooling yourself, because true manly dynamism is not achieved without significant strength.
It adds a depth to your physical reserve and your psychological power that will only be achieved through hard training. Why is it you believe the Eastern disciplines whose first focus was spiritual betterment through meditation spent so much time on hard physical training? Because they understood that they are inseparable. To have one without the second is to be unfinished. To never be well placed to explore the full depth of your own mind and soul as well as to live with real power.
