Great question! The workout presented is simply just 1 of 2 workouts that would be done inside of each week (that's why it's notated as "Day A"). The "Day B" workout that would complement it would feature a focus on hinging and horizontal/vertical pressing. So, over the course of the week, the client would hit all major movement patterns for the body.
Having trouble understanding why the single arm high cable row was chosen if we are considering that the client may have tight lats. According to NASM, we would stretch that muscle instead of strengthening right?
Just because a muscle is tight doesn’t mean you can’t train it to become stronger. You’d definitely want to address the chronic contraction of the muscle but if a client wanted to be stronger or bigger in a muscle, you wouldn’t have to hold off on training it until it was no longer chronically tight. Also some muscles are tight because of a weakness. With the lats I don’t believe this is usually the case. I’m just saying it to bring up that one size doesn’t fit all. Lastly, I’ll say that strong lats are essential to stable lifts in the bench press deadlift and squat as they isometrically contract on all of those lifts to prevent unwanted movement and prevent injury. If you remember, the lats are one of the muscles of the LPHC.
These comments from others are spot on! We still need to train the muscles that are "tight" and as @wafflepwn11 pointed out, the lats will get stretched under load during the eccentric phase of the movement.
This channel is amazing.Love the explanations. Maybe i could get NASM certified once again.
I love that video! Thanks so much, Joe.
Thank you for the help, Joe!
Happy to help!
Awesome video and you are totally right. 80% of my clients have at one if not more of these issues
Thanks for watching!
Your videos are SO informative and helpful. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
You are amazing 👏 ❤️... love the way you teach
Thank you so much!
just a tip, adding music on top but having the gym music in the background makes it super muddy and distracting. Great vid tho!
Noted!
Love the tip
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for this video Joe

So helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
I'm still trying to understand how this is a full body workout? Where is the upper body horizontal/vertical push?

@Axiomfitnessacademy I kind of figured. Thanks for the clarification
Awesome videos keep em coming 👌🏽

on the eccentric phase of the high row, the lats are being stretched
