Traditional vs. Specialization


TRADITIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS

Traditionally, one would devise a plan in which they focused on developing everything evenly, and thus create a balanced physique. But even with the most solid plan, imbalances still exist, as they are nearly impossible to get rid of, the best we can do is try to minimize them as much as possible.

These imbalances can be either strength imbalances, in which one muscle is relatively weaker than it should be in relation to another, or aesthetic imbalances, in which one muscle is relatively underdeveloped in relation to the rest of the body.
