Exercise Selection Model

Sometimes one may be faced with too many different exercises, from which to choose. It just might be better to counter-intuitively use an effective set of de-selection criteria to know what not to do first, before deciding on what to do. Narrowing down the selection to the best or realistically better alternatives inversely optimizes the overall selection, reminiscent of the "Paradox of Choice". Understanding and proper application of this concept in sports nutrition, weight training, food selection, etc. can yield huge results over time compared to conventional approaches in exercise and nutrition. For example, if one wants sheer muscle mass coupled with good conditioning, then a combination of compound movements and controlled eating patterns if best for results optimization. Notice that I didn't mention isolation exercises to address muscle conditioning. This is for the reason that we're addressing the concept of optimization herein as the quality and amount of exercise expended using the most effective movements in descending order of effectiveness (in combination with optimal sports nutrition, caloric selection, and rest) over the amount of time spent on all of the above. Those with a more qualitative bent will state that such reasoning is too logically linear and mathematical to work. But that's precisely my point - That short and long-term effectiveness of exercise selection can be optimized through structural models of conception without having deep domain knowledge of exercise-related theory. Many will be upset reading this, but it has been proven that long-term deployment of basic movements under a fundamental understanding of how those movements work yield superior results to long-term exercise physiology programs that require near expert understanding of their theoretical implications. In a world of increasing complexity, genius will further lie in simplicity more now than it ever did before.
