Hey guys,
I usually do a variety of push-ups, squats, rows, chins in a workout. I came across some articles on the net advising to stick w/ one type of exercise per workout. For example, instead of doing standard, Atlas, and elevated. push-ups in one workout you would only perform Atlas push-ups for your pushing exercise. Then in the next workout you would perform all standard push-ups. The same would hold true of other exercises for other body parts. The idea was this would protect the body from injury better because you wouldn't be using the same motion every workout. This kind of sounds like what John says about training from mutiple angles, but also limits how often an exercise is performed at each angle.
It sound resonable, but I don't know if it would make that big of difference. Any comments?
The author (Chad Waterbury) also recommended constantly varying reps and weight used and to lift as fast as possible (while maintaining good form).
God bless,
Veg
