We don’t do “chest day”
You won’t find a “chest day” or “arm day” in any of my athletes’ programs. That’s not how we train — because that’s not how the body actually performs. We don’t train muscles, we train movements, at least not as our primary focus. Yes, we use isolation movements — but only to support the main lifts. Think of it like this.. The bench press is our main method of building and measuring our ability to push something away from us. When we do something like cable flys or tricep push downs, we are purposely increasing the size and strength of those muscles to facilitate benching more. The isolation movements potentiate the compound movements via hypertrophy and strength This approach gets people strong, durable, and capable. Not just sore and sweaty. Training is for performance. “Working out” is for feeling like you did something. Curious — who here used to follow a body-part split before switching to movement-based training? What did you notice?

I’ve never really thought about it that way. I’ve mainly split things up and focused on individual muscles verses while movements.
