What we are talking about is choosing exercises with more
than just size increases in mind… remember, there
is far more to muscle than just how it looks… You
can be really big, but also weak, slow and inflexible.
To drive this point home some more, remember the “Turtle
Back Syndrome” we covered in article #1? So many body
builders are plagued with this gruesome condition and they
don’t even know it! Are you?
The Turtle Back condition is a direct result of too much
focus on building up the pecs and lats and not enough focus
on the upper back. Also, the lack of focus on flexibility
in the chest and shoulders makes it even worse…
Not only does this look stupid, but it sets you up for
back, neck and shoulder problems like rotator cuff tears
and the like… and I know you don’t want any
of those!
So by targeted, we mean exercises that will not just develop
muscle strength and size, but more importantly work towards
correcting muscle imbalances which will mean less pain and
missed workouts, better performance and function, and most
of all better and balanced total body development!
So How Do You Find Out Which Ones You NEED To be Doing?
As we discussed in the previous article on “Targeted
Stretching”, it’s very important to know before
hand what stretches you actually NEED to be doing…
the same applies to exercises…
and the ONLY way to find out what specific areas you need
to target is to perform physical evaluations so you can
pin point the weak muscles that need strengthening and the
tight muscles that need stretching.
We have developed a series of simple assessments you can
do yourself to identify the muscles imbalances you have…
and while they are intended for people suffering from back
pain or sciatica, as a bodybuilder you stand to benefit
greatly because you train so hard, you are far more likely
to experience injuries like bulging and herniated discs,
rotator cuff tears, knee pain, etc…
Plus, even if you don’t have any pain or injuries
now, it would be very wise to learn how to assess yourself
so you can target your training now before you create an
injury, which not only will slow down your training and
progress, but it can also become a life-long struggle with
pain and a serious loss of your strength, size and fitness.

how you can quickly and easily identify and eliminate any
muscle imbalances you have:
