A strength model of willpower proposes four important ideas:
1.Willpower is a mind-body response, not merely a mindset.
2.Using willpower depletes resources in the body.
3.Willpower is limited.
4.Willpower is trainable.

Actually 2 of the four I would readily say are wrong and 1 is dubious :-)
1.) Willpower is a mind-body response, not merely a mindset.
So if I incapacitate the body say using anesthesia the willpower response is defeated?
2.) Using willpower depletes resources in the body.
Easily testable if we knew what resources were involved.
3.) Willpower is limited.
I think is correct, everything has limits.
4.) Willpower is trainable.
Dubious to me certainly on some things it would be possible but we do see addiction. Some of those addcitions can never be overcome so I think there are also limits to how much training is possible.
