I go through phases with my strength training workouts. I find that most of the time, I work my abs and upper body, which, for me, are fine the way they are. I’m happy with them and am not looking to get any more cut in that area. Obviously, sometimes I focus mainly on my lower body, which I would like to get more defined, and possibly drop and inch or two. I rarely do split strength training (upper body one day, lower body the next).
Generally, I focus on upper body. I’d say probably about 70% of the time. That’s not good, just so you know. Ideally, you should work everything evenly.
I’m stronger up top, too, so it’s easier to work my upper body. Great, now I feel lazy, too
I think people that view exercise as punishment (bad, bad) would be more inclined to work on their “trouble spots.” You know, a way to beat their body into submission, paying special attention to those parts of their body they hate the most- the places that need to be punished the most.
What do you guys think? Do you focus on your trouble spots as punishment or as a challenge? Do you focus on the parts of your body you are most proud of/pleased with? Why? Or are you a balanced exerciser? Do you wish I would stop ending my posts in so many questions, because you are all intelligent individuals who are perfectly capable of coming up with an opinion without prodding?
