I now have a lot of multi-joint, near full body exercises in my workouts. If you aren’t doing these kinds of exercises, then you aren’t working out. Nothing gets the heart pumping like these exercises. This is a test of how your body as a whole is doing. It’s becoming obvious of how important the multi-joint, full body exercises are. Your core stability and strength seems to lie within these exercises. They more accurately mimic what we would do naturally, if we were out doing shit.

I don’t even know if you need to do a single barbell curl, or a single isolated military press, or a single calf raise, for that matter, to build an astounding and strong physique. If you’re going to lift a pack of shingles, you probably aren’t going to curl it like a barbell, you’re going to get down there and dig in with your legs, back, arms, forearms, chest, shoulders, and you’re going to lift that Mofo.

I’m starting to see how uncoordinated my body still is when I tried some “squat presses” with dumbbells. More work to do. So many years, all I knew was gym strength. That’s why I sucked a lot in the real world. When it came time to lift a heavy couch, all that strength I possessed in the gym didn’t mean shit. I whined like a little baby because it was so heavy. Too much work, fear of lost gains! My body couldn’t handle the real stuff. My body as a whole didn’t know what to do. I spent a lot of time with upper back pain, perhaps had I trained my body as a whole like our bodies should be trained, this may have never happened?

Starting to see the light Mike and E! Thank you for putting this out there.

These annoying little creatures are tiny bags of nothing but pure muscle, in highly-ripped definition. And it shows in their attitude, too. They think they are the biggest and baddest animals on the planet, humans included.
