Perspective: Train muscles, not Movements.

We have plenty of trainers and pseudo-experts that often state that muscle training isn't important, and we should just focus on challenging motions. ...But when we consider the direction of resistance, we find that the motion alone is NOT enough. Consideration MUST be given to the direction of resistance, as it will influence which tissues are challeged (and stimulated). It even seems possible that those that don't want to do the "homework" of studying individual tissues and their value, often use the mantra "train motions not muscles" as a marketing phrase that absolves them from the responsibility of learning at a professional level. Let's talk about it - but please leave your preferences out of this discussion - we're not talking about your feelings, we're talking the realities of physics.
