Isolated Muscle Development is Popular in Bodybuilding

The goal of training is not to change how the body looks, but to improve how the body moves. Therefore, sports performance training should focus on movement patterns rather than individual muscles. Muscles will develop naturally as different movement patters are worked, so most athletes will look as if they have done some bodybuilding.

MOVEMENT TRAINING

"It's About Feel"


Athletic movement is first and foremost about human movement. Basic movements consists of pushing, pulling, reaching, twisting right and left, balance, how you feel squatting, and how you feel lunging. It is important to understand that the language of movement is written thru feel. The feel is called proprioception or body awareness. The way an athlete moves, not how the look ultimately defines a great athlete.
