The Truth About Abs: Body Part “Isolation” is The Worst Thing You Can Do

May 13, 2011 10:31 pm | Weight Loss Exercise

Mike Geary, author of the Truth About Abs program, is faced constantly with questions concerning the “isolation” of one particular muscle group or another to train. He indicates that the first thing he tries to teach is that, in all actuality, the body doesn’t work well in muscle isolation and your body will end up being primed for injury. His thought process follows the line in that the body works best in a kinetic chain, which is indicative of large portions of the body assists other portions of the body complete complex movements. Mike indicates that in reality there is no such thing as true muscle isolation.

The reason why Mike Geary doesn’t advocate the isolation method of training is that, through the use of isolation techniques, you will only create a body that is a compilation of body parts instead of a functional unit that works together. In addition, this will invariably lead to injury because the body will be non-functional as a unit.
