The next time you are in the gym try to keep a few things in mind. Your current resistance training program, as great as it might be, should incorporate some real world functional activities.
Now what do I mean by all this? Try doing some deadlifts or some squats next time you are in the gym. Why? Well I'll tell you why.
How many times in your day do squat or bend to pick something up? Compare that to how many times you actually find yourself lying flat on your back having to press something of your chest.
Now before I start babbling let me just sum it all up in a couple sentences.
All resistance training exercises have their place. You should strengthen all the muscles in your body, but do not lose sight of exercises that improve your day to day activities. Some suggestions are: deadlifts, squats, core exercises that involve rotational movements, standing shoulder press exercises, to name a few. Think about it.
