Roshi power plothole?

Roshi's power in early DB seems to keep raising without an explanation:
In the training for the tournament Goku and Krillin both manage to push a rock that Roshi couldn't even dream of pushing and this was while they still had 1 month left to train
Yet at the tournament he's stronger than Krillin by quite a lot and seems to be equal to Goku
And then after Goku finishing Korin's training there are a few comments that he was only just below post Korin training Goku.

So Roshi somehow went from below Krillin to barley below Post-Korin Goku? How'd that happen?

Perhaps Roshi was just screwing with us?

I've already brought up the 'retcon' situation before regarding DB Roshi. His power was retconned several times.

roshi trained too. roshi was continuously training until the 22nd budokai. then there is also the fact that strength=/=power. roshi was an old man, with old man bones and muscles. it was only his mastery of ki that kept him superior to the younger generation. goku and krillin moved the rock by muscle, something that roshi couldn't do.
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god
