 Watch this for a secret trainer hack on how to develop a very symmetrical body Move in the sagittal frontal and transverse plane. What's that? Watch this Next callers Nate from Texas. What's up, Nate? How can we help you? What's going on y'all? How y'all doing man? Good good good man. What's up? Hey, man? I just want to say it's exciting man It's good to it's good to be able to be on here man cuz This is like something so new for me. I don't I've never actually been involved in some stuff like this So it's cool. It's cool, man. So I just want to say I appreciate y'all everything y'all do man It's cool y'all send a just a super positive message the vibes y'all send y'all help so many people So I just want to say that off the rip Now my my whole my whole deal here is that I've been training for a while man. I've been you know Implementing a lot of different things and I've been learning all this new stuff I've actually been studying to be a personal trainer now and When I'm when I'm trying to create these programs. What's going on is I'm learning You know, I need to incorporate all these different planes of motion, you know And I need to I need to make sure I'm doing transverse I need to you know, I need to incorporate sagittal in front of but When I'm creating a single workout, you know, I'm trying to figure out is it best for me to Incorporate all the three planes of motion into one workout or should I try to like phase different? Plains of motion now. I know that like when you're doing like speed and agility and balance you really kind of want to focus your your attention on certain like Performance aspects, but when I'm doing a single workout, you know Sometimes I get caught in the in the mode where I just want to I want to do all these bench press and and all these Rows and I want to do these pull-ups and you know what I feel like for the general public The best way for the general public would be to kind of incorporate a little bit of everything But then again in one single workout, I also feel like it's best to just focus on Certain things that at one time. So that's really my my issue is when I'm creating a single workout how is it best to incorporate either all three planes of motion or Should I be phasing or breaking it up into different segments? Yeah, Nate So cool question. Welcome to the world of personal training. So here's your answer. They're both right Yeah, so depends who you're working with what the goal is the rep ranges if you're focusing on strength or speed or What body parts general health? I mean both are fine both are totally fine I would look at I would look at a little bit more broad So maybe throughout the week you definitely want to incorporate all three planes of motion in one workout You don't necessarily have to I mean you can do you know squats overhead press bench press and rows in one workout And then the next workout now you can incorporate some something, you know rotational lateral So I would look at it more like that But it depends why I'm working with and what their goals are and how their body is moving And so this is why it's an almost impossible question to answer I think the general Answer for the general person would be to make sure you incorporate all of them throughout the week I would say but again that can change depending on the person I'm working with with some people I would do it every workout and with other people I would maybe do it a little less if we need to focus more like if I'm just focusing on Strength like I got a I got a kid. I'm training. We're trying to pack on some muscle and some strength They're not necessarily playing any sports Then I'm gonna be okay avoiding certain planes of motion when I'm just trying to pack on mass and then later on I'm gonna start to incorporate more of those planes of motion. It depends on the person it really does So there's no clear, you know, I can't give you a straight 100% answer with this one Yeah, and you'll notice I bet you've gone through like our mass performance and like I don't know if you've gone I just haven't had a chance man. I've got so much stuff. I got kids and everything else Yeah, yeah, it's kind of tough getting into stuff But it's more of a like a personal deal. I want to be able to figure it out, you know, within myself You know, it's just like y'all say it you're always You're always the worst trainer for yourself, you know, so like I Focus on a lot of stuff myself But then whenever I'm able to talk to other people I can give such good advice, but it's so hard to follow it So I really want to learn more for myself That way I can show other people and that's really where I'm at Yeah, what I was alluding to was we actually had like a devoted section a phase for multi-planar movement and that was intentional because of the lack of of that focus in a lot of programming, especially when you mentioned You know, just real strength pursuits Where we're trying to reduce it down to just a few exercises that give you the most bang That are usually bilateral loaded And it's in the sagittal plane. And so, you know, it's nice and controlled that way so we can build a nice base You know in terms of strength, but What where your mindset is I think is great because we really do need to Consider all those different other functions that the body is capable of so that way we don't You know sort of prune that off to where we're we don't want to miss it out, right? So so I do think that Incorporating a phase specific is you know an option You know sprinkling them in in terms of complementary exercises to the strength phases you could do So yeah, there really isn't like a very definitive answer to this other than just keep that in mind that there's You know, these other planes we need to consider and keep that movement happening. I listen that you You've already won half the battle the fact that you recognize the importance of it And that you're trying to figure out how to program it. You're already ahead of the game so and Basically saying the same thing the guys are saying the reason why no one's giving you this definitive answer because you could you could play With this, I mean, that's a fun part about being a trainer is that you you know You recognize the importance of incorporating all the different planes and so, you know, maybe one client I decide I'm gonna do a phase like Justin was just talking about how we do in performance Then maybe another client. I'm just gonna do a day, right? So maybe I have like what Sal was saying like a kid who's really focused on being strong And that is his main goal that he's telling you but I also recognize the importance of training in different planes with him So maybe the you know, two or three of the workouts during the week are very, you know Maps anabolic strength type of programming very sagittal plane base the same kind of planes of motion And then one day a week I have a whole day dedicated to all the other planes and we do some Dynamic stuff in there and so there's a lot of different ways that you can play or every day I incorporate Rotational and transverse plane type so you could do some fun stuff here and and play around with it And it does really like Sal was saying depend on the client's goal Whatever the client's goal is I want to spend a bulk of my time Addressing that adaptation whatever it may be whether it be building strength body fat, you know Sculpting and developing a certain muscle. That's where the bulk of my programming is but as you know Keeping integrity as a trainer and knowing that it's important for overall joint health and longevity I want to make sure they can train in all planes I'm gonna incorporate it at least Somewhat within the program and how much of that would really depend on how focused they are or how much I think they need that Like or how much they're potentially lacking it and you can you can accomplish this too through mobility drills In ways of doing that without a loaded Exercise, so you know, you can you can do this as primers. We do this before our workouts even to address Certain rotational movements and joint function. So that way we get it to respond better within the workouts So yeah, there's just a lot of ways you can sort of implement this not just Having to prescribe the entire workout devoted to multiple planes. Do you have mass performance? We're gonna send it to you. Okay. Yeah, we're gonna send it over to you, bro I'm gonna tell you right now. I'm super appreciative like that's really one of the things I've really been wanting to do is actually run a real program a good one You know, but that's that's like I'm super appreciative Follow that follow that program Nate and then after you go through that from what we've just talked to you about I think you'll have a really good idea on how to go from there and incorporate it for your clients There's a lot of different tools in there And there's a lot of different ways that you can use the tools in there for your future clients And but the one thing I think you should do and stick to it follow the program as it's laid out So you can get the full benefits of everything that we did in there And then after that you can pluck and pull whatever you like and implement it into your own program I think thanks for calling in Nate. I appreciate it man. Thank y'all man. Y'all keep being good I keep being you man y'all doing so much great stuff man. I appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you. I Like me love that dudes energy guys energy Yeah, you know what the when it comes to the different planes. I what you said Justin was I'm so glad you said that you don't have to do Loaded hypertrophy based exercises in all the planes necessarily you can do You know much of that in the maybe sagittal plane and then do dynamic mobility stuff in some of the other Especially since the point you brought up about you know what if you had a kid let's say 25 year old kid Relatively pretty healthy good mobility good decent movement not dealing with any sort of joint pain anything just wants to get big built some Yeah, we're gonna focus on strength 90 90% of the workouts gonna look very maps and a ball of gas But then you can take Elements from like performance and mobility days like just that's a great point And you just just to keep that just to keep them mobile in different now I will say when it comes to building a balanced symmetrical physique even just from an aesthetics standpoint Focusing on the different planes is a bit of a hack because it does work all the muscles of the body and does develop a lot of balance and You know aesthetics isn't just how you look when you're stationary There's aesthetics with how you walk and move and training those different planes develops Aesthetic movement so we'll we've all seen the meathead in the gym that if you pose for a picture Would look okay But then you see them moving something doesn't look right and oftentimes that comes from just lack of Movementability in different planes they always train in one particular way well This is the reason why we were all very adamant about the second program being performance totally right I mean in the ideal world pretty much regardless of your goal whether it's overall health fat loss muscle buildings I don't care doesn't matter what your goal is the ideal way to follow the program programs What we laid them out is anabolic first performance and then aesthetic from there There's lots of different pathways and we can get into customizing it For the general population regardless of your goals We really tried to address all the main things we'd want a client to focus on in those three programs Hey, if you enjoyed that clip you can find the full episode here or you can find other clips over here and be sure to subscribe
