Your muscles might look good…
But if your joints and tendons are screaming “FML,” that’s not strength — that’s imbalance.
Most people think strength training is only about lifting heavy and building muscle.
But that’s just one aspect. You can, and should, be training your joints and connective tissue as well.
Weight lifting strengthens your muscles, primarily training mid-range muscle tissue.
Mobility training strengthens your joints, connective tissue, and END-range muscle tissue.
Neither is “better”. They just target different parts of your anatomy more specifically.
Yeah, there’s some overlap between them. But specificity in your training input is the key to building a truly strong, resilient body.
So yes, you can build big developed muscles, but if you neglect mobility training, it’s only a matter of time before joint and connective tissue problems start to show up. And those problems are a sign of weakness in the body.
What’s the solution?
Prioritize time for mobility work alongside your lifting. If you want to be a truly strong human being, mobility can’t be optional.
