    The document discusses the importance of exercise that involves movement and using your full body instead of focusing on isolated muscle groups while lying down. It argues that as predators in nature rely on speed and agility, effective training for athletes requires exercises that mimic real-world movement patterns using both feet rather than isolating muscles in stationary positions. While some techniques like muscle activation can aid recovery when done in moderation, true progress requires challenging whole-body exercises that use your own bodyweight like pushups, squats and lunges rather than relying too much on machines.

    1. You play on two feet, you train on two feet.

    Fact: Animal predators aren’t slow or fat. Think about it; most creatures
    with killer instinct are fast, lean, agile, competitive. They have to move
    like lightning to catch their prey and dominate their surroundings. You
    have to move. If you’re an athlete or serious about fitness, and your
    workout involves spending most of the time lying on your back or a bench
    or a ball while training, you need to fire your trainer immediately. Or if
    you’re not using a trainer, you need to find one to show you what you’re
    doing wrong. You compete on two feet, you move on two feet, you get
    everywhere using two feet . . . why the hell are you lying down to train?
    Science is constantly giving us new information that helps us get better
    results using less time and energy. No question some of it has made
    training and recovery more effective and efficient, but there’s still no
    replacement for hard work and sweat. I do a lot of work on athletes using
    muscle activation, which is basically a way to get the muscles to contract
    while the athlete is lying on a table in a horizontal position. For some
    athletes, this is a dream come true: Wait; you mean I can work those
    muscles but I can keep my butt on the table? Where do I sign up? They’re
    all crushed when I tell them muscle activation is only one part of our work,
    and get off the damn table because we still have some real work to do.
    And yes, I have lost clients over this. Somewhere, sometime, some
    trainer told these guys they could get great results with little effort on their
    part and they were like, “Sign me up!” Okay, good luck. Those are the
    guys I usually hear from later in the season, but now instead of sitting on
    the table they’re sitting on the bench.
    You don’t need gadgets and gizmos and contraptions to be in good
    shape. Push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, presses, walking, running. Back
    to the basics. Now there are machines for everything, and they’re all
    designed to make the work easier and easier and easier. That’s what people
    want, but it’s not what they need.
