The human body was meant to be cultivated into a fully integrative machine. Just like your mind it can be taught to do anything as long as you put in the time. What’s the point in having a Ferrari with an engine of a Hyundai. Sure you can go to the gym and train body parts. That’s exactly what your doing training a fully functional system in parts. You are actually downgrading your anatomy. As you are increasing muscle mass you are constricting your body. Your shoulders are pulled forward limiting range of motion and causing misalignment in your shoulder girdle. The body is like a house of cards shift one card and the house comes tumbling down. I am just addressing the chest & shoulder but as you know this goes for the entire body. Tight hamstrings, glutes, hips, and hip flexors can cause lower back, knee, or ankle issues. The list goes on...
It’s time for you to take more interest in your body and how it works. Otherwise it's like you're investing your money with your broker and you don't know anything about the market. Yes, we need to know everything. I know it’s impossible to know it all but those who don’t take the time are doomed to fail. I feel that top priorities are Career, Finance, Health, and Family. Not necessarily in that order. “I don’t have the time.” Usually the words of failure and success aren't measured in status. Success can be accumulated in many areas. You're trainer should be your point person but it’s up to you to also take your health into your own hands.
