Every body has its ideal movements.
Your unique leverages will make certain variances just work staggeringly well.
Example :
I adapt easily to squat everyday, easier than most as I have good squatting leverages.
My legs handle it quite well, though my lower back seems to need the training of support strength from squats to keep my ability to deadlift heavy.
My lower back will still get locked. I just know that I can work through that on squats, that on squats a locked up lower back isn’t an issue for me.
Inadvertently I found something better (for me personally).
I’m convinced the overhead squats I’m doing (the heel of the boots I’m wearing may play a role in this) are the ideal movement for my leverages at least right now.
The mass I’ve put on my thighs by way of usually just 25-35 reps with an empty barbell each day is staggering.
It hit me while talking with a buddy, the overhead squat is the ideal movement for my levers (at least right now).
When doing a movement ideal for your levers a modicum of effort will carry you far.
You don’t need to struggle with movements if you cover the full body with a handful of movements that match you.
Pushups work very very well for me. They match me.
Squatting in general fits me, but the overhead squat even moreso.
Those two are daily, and all I need. I add a little neck/grip/ab work on top.
Once you’ve found the ideal movements you can simply hit them for enough, a very small amount, and be good to go.
If one high rep set of something light to moderately weighted gives you great results, moreso then it’s “supposed” to…congratulations you (may) have found your ideal movement.
Find the ideal exercises for your leverages, and then milk them for all they’re worth, only change them if they stop working. (Leverages can change.)
Doing this allows you to be perceived as not trying, while having everything work out. It looks easy because it is. It’s only requires a few of your minutes on a consistent basis.
I am the opposite of common “gym knowledge”. I teach you how to get superior results with only a little effort, mostly effort in exploring what works for you.
Find the ideals. Use them considerably. Milk them for all they’re worth.
I just simplified training for you.
