100 percent, dude.
Either you know how to lift correctly or you do not. All this micro-managing isolation exercise function is ridiculous.
Try it, and then tell us how ridiculous it is. I am against overcomplicating training, but I also know that very few of you guys even understand how muscles work. You go to gym, do some speed jerk lat pulldowns and you feel like superman, but that is just an ego. I go to gym, do same without the jerk, slow negatives, good range of motion, sitting straight and letting muscles put all in to it, and I feel great pump not in my ego, but in my lats. This what seem to be complicating is one way take all out from the muscle without killing it, even those little little weights even make Jari himself laugh time to time. Outside this kind of training he has won gold in European bench press championship with 317kg (2008), so why he is struggling with those lilliput weights? Well, if you try to do similar workout, you leave from the gym with paramedics. Will he benefit about this? Probably he will. I know how he has been training and when he got humble enough to ask some advice from Savolainen and Milos, he will be better, because there will be different angle to use. All this is positive. Negative thing is that he don't have structure, no genetics for the sport, at the best he will look better than Kamali, but only little bit. Never, no matter what happens, he will not be in top 6 in any pro competition.
