			<description><![CDATA[In my 20 plus years in the Fitness industry I consistently see people training to move the weight, not really training the muscle.  Most of this is due to ego with little regard for improving their physiques.  There are Sport Specific exercises to increase ones strength, explosiveness, and power.  These exercises, when done correctly, are great.  The key is when done correctly.<br />
Unless you are training for a specific event (Power Lifting) or belong to a football team you should steer away from these exercises.  In the long run you will end up with inflammed joints and years of pain and discomfort.<br />
My advice, start to learn about the "mind to muscle" connection and train the muscle.  Of course this would take stripping off some of the weight you usually use.  In the long run you will train each muscle completely from insertion to articulation.  This will drive more blood into the trained, or targeted muscle group.  You will feel a bigger pump and the only thing that will be sore will be the muscle itself.<br />
When you add a good diet and supplementation program to the mix you will see amazing changes, for the good, to your physique.  So leave the ego at the door the next time you enter the gym, your joints will thank you for it.]]></description>
