Why fit “experts” say heavy compound lifts are the only way to train + why weird training is better

Love the Skin You’re In | Sweat and Yoga

Hey friend Welcome back to sweat and yoga’s love the skin you’re in podcast Where we sweat for a workout and yoga to feel something new. Suncana Sonnenburg here - your host, lover of sweat and all the feels, sitcom junkie, hoop earring enthusiast and your realistic health and fitness bestie. Health and fitness has been hijacked by the entertainment and media industry and we’re here to take it back so we can all love the skin we’re in and learn to listen to our bodies. Today’s question is “ why do so many of the “fitness” experts say you shouldn’t do weird exercises and you should stick w heavy compound lifts instead” I want to bust this myth becauseI think it has been going around the fitness community farrrrr too much lately - doing heavy compound lifts is great - but to say it’s the only way to train is a whole bunch of hullabaloo imo. Honestly there is so much info out there on all sides of these things - that’s the number 1 reason I try and teach you to learn to listen to your own body because like I always say science changes its mind all the time and as does your body’s needs… better to listen to your body’s changes rather than constantly trying to chase the new trend. In this epi we go over what compound lifts are and I give you the 4 main reasons this idea of you only need to do “heavy compound lifts” has become a popular line in the fitness industry - hint - it’s def more about the aesthetics {hello programming - I haven’t ranted about you in a while} and then 4 reasons you should be training weird movements in addition to the heavy compound lifts. If you want to skip the gratitude I do at the beginning of every episode and just jump right into what compound lifts are head to 4:29 of the epi, for the 4 reasons heavy compound lifts are blowing up lately - head to 5:45 of the pod and if you want to know why you should be doing the weird stuff in addition to heavy compound lifts head to 12:20 of the pod. Hope you love the episode friend!
