Is your program helping you?

I was recently rereading some stuff in the book "Bulletproof Knees" (highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to develop optimal knee health) which is written by my friend and mentor Mike Robertson and came across a couple of statements that I wanted to share.  "Believe me, I'm really glad to see more and more people hitting the iron to get into shape; however, a lot of people don't understand how to design effective programs.  Effective programs do a lot more than help you look great in a swimsuit! An effective training program not only helps you attain strength or physique goals, but also optimizes your alignment, recruits and strengthens the appropriate musculature, and keeps you healthy over the long-term." 
This hits it out of the ballpark for me.  Everyday I see a number of people who have no clue how to plan a proper program.  The fact of the matter is that if some of the guys I see really want to increase their bench press that they do everytime they step foot in the gym, they would spend more time developing and strengthening their upper backs  instead of adding to their anterior dominated shoulder postures and going nowhere by doing all variations of pressing three times a week.  Pushing must be balanced with pulling, quad dominant movements must be balanced with hip dominant movements, and so forth.  Too many people go to the gym clueless and neglect way too many areas of their bodies, ending up with imbalanced bodies, postural flaws, pain, and strength/performance hinderances.  You owe it to yourself; get some help from someone who understands the way the body works and get stronger or improve your physique in a proper and healthy manner. 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and have a great weekend!
