Summary
Today we're chatting about Muscle Priority Training, a training style utilized by one of the great bodybuilders, Lee Haney. We chat about when you receive feedback from a judge or your coach and how to assess weak points on your physique. How muscle priority training can support the growth of those weak points. Why redesigning your training protocol to focus on physique weak points can bring up lagging body parts. We explain what it means to pre-exhaust the muscle and how this training style can sometimes support growth. Why perfect biomechanics is key during this exercise selection change. Why you shouldn't fear a lower pain tolerance, and other characteristics to understand when training this way.
