its all how you concentrate on your muscles while working out  |
I guess but then again, you get people with BEACH MUSCLES. It's the types that have muscle just to look good but if you told them to deadlift 250lbs they couldn't do that. I'm more about function that looks. Squats and deadlifts are two of the best exercises you can perform as they use your core muscles to get the job done. The other day I maxed out on my bench at 225 with one full rep. Mind you, I'm 155lbs and been in the gym for only 7 months. I'm not trying to make myself look good here but I'm rather trying to argue a point that deadlifts and squats help your strength overall. Did you know that when you squat you use about 80% of your entire body's muscles?
But as you said, things work differently for different people. I'm not saying that what you are doing is wrong.
