Couple of days ago.
I went to a gym and a first thing I saw was a couple of guys doing biceps curls and writing down reps on a training log. This is exactly what I meant about people being out of focus.
Biceps curl is not an real exercise; it has no real-world application and no one is ever gonna give a shit about how many reps you can make and with what weight.
The Big Lifts
Minimalist Fitness mentality includes six basic lifts: deadlift, squat, bench press, overhead press, weighted dips & chip ups. These are the essentials that should count for 85 % of your strenght training routine. You can also add snatch and clean & jerk to this category.
The remaining 15 % is for the so called tuning exercises you can choose by your preference (e.g. the damn biceps curl). But the big lifts are what count, what you should keep track of and where your time & effort should be invested.
