The best workout program for developing a strong, lean, fit and athletic body is one that combines the training and development of all the markers of high-level fitness & athleticism - strength, energy system performance, speed, flexibility, accuracy, and endurance - all in a single systematic training program. It doesn't just train one at the expense of the other, or develop one area of fitness to the complete exclusion or neglect of another area.
Unfortunately when you are trying to craft a well-rounded athletic physique, developing one area of fitness exclusively (hypertrophy) is one of the major drawbacks of using a conventional bodybuilding-influenced training program.
In my own experience with this bodybuilding-influenced training paradigm, I felt that I was limiting myself in the ways that I could apply the strength I had been developing - in the limited ranges of motion provided by isolation exercises and the limited selection of compound movements I could chose from in the conventional approach.
But once you break free of the conventional bodybuilding-influenced training paradigm, as I did, you really can take your training, health, fitness, and physique to whole new levels.
I've been searching for a long time for such a program, and I believe I've finally found the answer in Eddie Lomax's Athletic Body Workout Training Program.
This is a great program because it tests, challenges, and improves all the markers for high-level all-around fitness mentioned above, all the while either promoting (or leaning toward) Strength & Size gain, Fat Loss, or General Fitness Preparedness. This is great because I didn't really feel challenged by my conventional bodybuilding routines, and I really felt like I needed to do a lot more with my body in order to get it to a certain point of high-level fitness and performance.
The new workout routines are actually a lot of fun, definitely more so (I found) than most conventional bodybuilding routines.
Also, the routines & exercises change on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, so the chances of boredom drop to near zero, as does the chance of failing to follow through on your program because of boredom, which is one of the biggest problems in most people's training programs today.
So there you have it, the best workout program (and the only workout program for that matter) I've found for developing a strong, lean, fit and athletic body with weights, that anyone can use without the fear of getting bulky.
