Neglecting these 3 Muscle Groups in your Training Can Make You Tight and Stiff. It can also cause Muscular Imbalances, which can lead to nagging pains that seem to never go away.
Hey, Coach E here and what we’re about to discuss is going to FLY IN THE FACE of some of the most popular concepts in fitness and working out over the last few years…
This is correct – you have been following this advice and are causing damage to your body.
You might’ve heard these concepts from some of the biggest websites, magazines and trainers and you might get pissed off when you hear what’s up.

And you’ve got every right to be!…
Here’s the EMBARRASSING part – I’ve been one of the trainers sharing the very same advice I’m about to admonish.
Yep, I guess my wife is right – I don’t know everything.
But I’m obsessed with the body and how to get it feeling and moving better, so I’m always studying and experimenting and I’d be doing you wrong if I didn’t come clean so you don’t suffer the consequences from following this common method.
No, I’m not talking about any of that stupid stuff you see on infomercials designed for the sole purpose of parting you from your hard-earned money…

What we will talk about is a concept that’s moved the fitness industry in the right direction and proved beneficial to both athletes and people working out to be fit and healthy alike…
This is because the training method is BIOMECHANICALLY INMBALANCED.
This is how the popular fitness method that causes imbalances in your body came about…

I learned about this method from my first mentor in the fitness industry named Paul Chek…
Since 2005-2007: I spent around $10k on books, courses, and intensives to learn as much from him.
It was about $40k for a five-year honours degree of Kinesiology.
While common today, Paul was the first person I’d ever heard talk about creating resistance training programs based on something called the MOVEMENT PATTERNS, instead of bodybuilding style body part training (chest, bi’s, quads, abs, etc).
Paul’s system included 7 distinct movement patterns: squat, lunge, bend, push, pull, twist and gait.
I implemented the system quickly and was impressed with the results.
This was especially helpful for combat athletes who were already in my gym.-3 hours, 6 days per week

Training based on these principles will continue for the next few decades. “movements not muscles” It became increasingly popular thanks to many teachers who promoted it, including Gray Cook (creator of the Functional Movement Screen).

It was in 2008 when Men’s Health released a book called “The New Rules of Lifting” This was the official launch of the concept.
This trend has only grown stronger over the years with the expansion of powerlifting, weightlifting, CrossFit and other movements that all focus on the same exercises.

Here’s The BIG Problem Focusing on Lower Body Compound Exercises Like Squats and Deadlifts and Always Being Told to “Squeeze Your Glutes!”
While each of these movements focuses on the muscles in your body in a different proportion, they’re all essentially the same in that they train the muscles that make you stand up against gravity.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re doing a front vs back squat, stationary vs walking lunge or stiff-leg vs trap bar deadlift – you’re essentially training the same joint movements: hip extension, knee extension and to lesser extent, hip abduction and external rotation.
These exercises work almost the same muscles, the gluteus maximus (quadriceps), and to a lesser extent the hamstrings as well as the gluteus medius (gluteus medius).
This system is easy to follow, not to mention the popular cue telling to do so. “squeeze your glutes”) you’re training the same movements and muscles while neglecting their opposites, creating muscular imbalances that ultimately lead to dysfunction, pain and worst of all – INJURY.
