Strength Training Causes Muscle Imbalances?

Yes, you read the title correctly. A study published in the journal of strength and conditioning research from Nova Southern university showed that recreational strength trained men have a high incidence of muscle imbalances. Now, what have I been saying all this time? Traditional 'gym science' exercises on machines and focusing on the pretty muscles Will do nothing but cause and reinforce postural distortion and muscle imbalances. This directly correlates to injurious patterns, joint strain and muscle fatigue/damage. Remember that your chosen career sets you up for poor posture and repetitive patterns that are know to be rough on the body. What we know we know wrong folks, the gym class and high school weight room exercises of yesteryear are bad. They did not work then and they do not work now. Please realize that there is a better way to train, smarter and safer. The 'Fit Responder' book is just that, a BS filter to lead you down the path to safe health and wellness. Nothing pains me more than to see dedicated police/fire/ems responders in the gym vainly attempting to be fit and strong, unknowingly reinforcing postural patterns and setting up that cascade effect of injury. Just because a lot of folks have jumped on the band wagon of 'military type' fitness and are exercising at extreme intensity does not mean your body is ready for it. When was the last time you were tested for movement pattern dysfunction?
