Don't waste your time doing workouts that leave large gaps in your strength or load you up with unnecessary, redundant exercises. Take a strategic approach to your workouts by using a proven system that trains strength through each joint's true full range of motion. Even if you lift, you may still be missing something in your quest to get stronger. Optimal training does not involve training all the muscles; instead, it trains all the ranges (or zones) of each muscle. Many popular exercises work the same muscles the exact same way. Performing redundant exercises is a waste of your time.

You will learn how to combine exercises within a workout in a smarter and more strategic way to collectively train through a full range of motion-resulting in not just an improvement in physique but also an improvement in performance and a reduction in injury risk.
