Movement exercises first, Isolations second.

Do you include any or all of these movement exercises into your training:

Movement- Exercise example

  1. Squat- Goblet squat

  2. lunge- Reverse lunges

  3. Pull- (vertical) Pull-up, (horizontal) bent over rows

  4. Push- (vertical) over head press, (horizontal) push-up

  5. Deadlift/ Hinge- romanian deadlift

  6. Anti-extension or anti-rotation- plank, side plank

  7. Carry- farmer, suitcase carry

If you are missing any of these fundamental movement patterns in your training, you will most likely develop muscle imbalances that leads to chronic pain, and limit developing strength and endurance.

Training full movement exercises are first priority over isolation exercises.
