Let’s talk about what you should expect from a training program.

A balanced training program should have all of these components:

Resistance Training ✅
Cardiorespiratory Training ✅
Flexibility Training ✅
Corrective Exercise ✅
Nutrition + Recovery ✅

If you want to meet your goals all of these components must be met! For instance, let’s say someone only lifts weights so they can “get big” and build muscle - but this person avoids flexibility training (static + dynamic stretching). Not only are they increasing their likelihood for joint injury, their muscles will soon become tight. This will limit blood flow to their muscles preventing growth. Moreover a tight muscle does not have the range of motion as a healthy muscle. A limited range of motion will not activate all of your muscle fibres while lifting. Now when this person exercises they are only “half-repping” their lifts. Here they thought hyper-focusing on resistance training would make them have gains when in fact - it’s just the opposite!

There are many ways to avoid tight muscles. Introduce a 10:12 ratio in favour of posterior exercises into your program. This counteracts postural abnormalities from tight and weak muscles groups in the anterior.
