A definition is true. Otherwise, it is not a definition.
In reply to: "Strength training" is a dedicated program of targeted, progressive, resistive exercise. It is not the performance of any activity which might (or might not) get you stronger. Digging ditches, splitting firewood, and dancing in a nightclub are all examples of activities which might increase your strength, but they would not fall under any accepted definition of strength training. Likewise rock climbing.
Rock climbing is resistive exercise, and could be dedicated, targeted, and progressive, so it is not clear to me why rock climbing would necessarily not be strength training. Or is the catch here "dedicated"?
