Wednesday

The importance of strength and muscle. I'm going to write a little series of posts as too why strength and muscle is important to the general public and athletes.

To begin, muscle supports our skeleton and internal organs. When the human body has quality muscle the skeleton is supported evenly and balanced. However when there is a weakness such as weak hamstrings as compared to stronger quads then there is a condition known anterior pelvic tilt. This puts strain on the back musculature and begins to cause back, neck, and hip pain. Proper training should address muscle imbalances and proper programming will train the entire body, hopefully preventing imbalances from occurring.

Training:
Squat 5x3
Press 5x3
Power clean 3x5
