Does the nuance between these two exercises, to create a greater bias towards either glutes or hamstrings really matter?

To Coach Alex, the answer is yes. To the majority of clients we work with, the answer is yes.

One reason, Alex finds the nuance to be interesting & enjoyable. In almost all aspects of his life, if he can increase his chances of success by 1-2%, he's going to do it!

Another reason, our clients have specific goals. They want to look a certain way & improve particular areas of their body over others. By utilizing the nuance, it makes this more likely to be accomplished.

The notion of ‘Just do a deadlift’ or ‘Just do a pulldown’ is fine & dandy. If that’s how you prefer to approach your training, more power to you. You’re not wrong in doing so, especially if you’ve found a way that works for you that is enjoyable & sustainable.

That’s what we are all working towards, a sustainable & enjoyable approach that is going to reap the greatest benefit towards the goals that we have. That’s it.

Content creation has shoved us into a position of right/wrong with literally every topic. We are here to tell you that there are many different ways to go about your training & nutrition, that can potentially work depending on the person & their goals.

It is not one size fits all, so we can't approach our health and goals like it is.
