There are 6 levels of fitness goals..
Lv 1: Foundation -> Recovery system, Efficient muscles(Capillary level Blood transportation), full Range Of Motion, and Good Posture.
Lv 2: Flexibility -> ROM (maintenance as we age)
Lv 3: Stability -> Stabilizer muscles strengthening (e.g: SITS
Lv 4: Strength -> Brute str/Endurance str etc.. 8 to 20+ RM
Lv 5: Power -> 1-3 RM trg
Lv 6: Performance -> Sports performance
Training requires isolation... When doing compound exercise as a compound exercise, (e.g: Doing bench press with heavy weight, thus using tricep and chest together) it does not give as much training adaptation as isolating the chest when doing chest press(and others), then working the triceps isolated by doing extensions and such.
I.E: Cannot train the way you're going to use the muscles together, have to train each muscle by itself and in as many angles as possible to simulate the multi-angle force exertion we have to face as a human in our daily lifestyle.

Some ego topic:
Got one 55yr old uncle who's quite fit looking and the gym frequent oso.. saw me today and he told me "you look much better than when i first saw you!".. hehe..
Brendah jie jie say she couldn't recognize me.. and thought "who was that yellow shirt muscular man??".. hehehhee.. YAY.. I'm not happy because they say I'm fit or watsoever..
but it's because all these means my hardwork paid off!!! Really really motivating.. and it goes to show a stupid person like me can achieve much too with good guidance and determination&perserverance to work smart and hard on the correct techniques!!!

Scary thing...
Shi fu say I am using too little weight.. Ask me to up... tried to do the last shoulder exercise with 4 plates instead of the usual 3 and he still say too light.. then i tried again with 7 plates (he suggested 8) and i can still manage! hehe.. guess its up to let ego loose a tiny winnie little bit! :D
