Mind Pump — How to Pick the Right Exercises for YOUR Body | Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, Justin And

Описание: So you walk into a gym and there are literally a thousand different exercises you could do.

Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer, and Justin Andrews break down how to choose the exercises that matter: prioritize technique, stability, and exercises you can perform with good form and without pain. Start with stability, build strength, then add multi-planar work and speed. Focus on high-return compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, presses, add corrective movements for mobility and alignment, and train rotation, lateral strength, and reactivity so you don’t expose vulnerabilities.

Consistency beats novelty: a program you like and can stick to trumps an inconsistent flawless plan. Use carryover as a litmus test—standing overhead press offers practical transfer compared to some seated machines. For middle-aged or deconditioned clients, aim toward the squat, deadlift, and overhead press while training corrective work first. Scale gym volume when juggling sport or activity, focus on one main lift per session, add mobility, and eat enough to support workload.

Practical notes: use creatine and essential amino acids for recovery and travel, consider short-term coaching for bulking or reverse dieting, and adopt simple programming—one heavy lift per day, three sets, plus mobility drills. Slow, steady changes win. Do the right things, consistently, for a long time.
