Back training presents one of the most complex programming challenges in resistance training. This stems from looking at back training as a list of similar rowing and pulling variations instead of understanding the biomechanical principles that govern fibre recruitment across the different muscles

Most trainers gravitate toward their strongest pressing patterns while neglecting the ranges that challenge their stability. This creates a fundamental imbalance between the strength you can express and what you can functionally control.

Deep spine muscles can only contract in response to sensory feedback. This doesn't mean that we can't still train these muscles- but we'll need a much more sophisticated approach than programming back extensions.

Most trainers approach hip hinge movements with generic positioning that fails to capitalize on the biomechanical advantages available through strategic pelvic manipulation.

Building a fuller chest isn’t just about more benching; it’s about where you bias load and range of motion across a fan-shaped muscle with multiple origins.

Basic warm-ups don't adequately prepare your shoulders for the demands of high-intensity lifting.

Building well-developed quads is a central goal for trainers and trainees across the board. However, a common problem among many programming approaches is the overlap of movement patterns and joint angles in the same session.

Too many trainers treat warming up as a tedious ritual or an afterthought, failing to realize that an ineffective warm-up sabotages strength gains and increases injury risk.

The split squat stands as one of your most powerful tools for generating lower-body coordination, increasing stability, and stimulating muscle growth.
