I am a huge fan of minimalist programs and get amazing results from them. My favorite programs are 2 to 4 movements. I believe in treating training as practice. Furthermore, around here we are all about mastering a handful of the most effective exercises and I wholeheartedly agree.
I would like to see some opinions about mastering multiple skills/movements/exercises. Strongmen, athletes, gymnasts, etc. are all groups who may need this. Old time strongmen performed many feats at a time. I for one have goals to be proficient and strong in many lifts/movements (kettlebell, barbell, bodyweight, flexibility, etc.). How do you go about this with limiting fatigue and respecting your recovery abilities? How do you fit multiple skill practice into a schedule with limited training time? (Utilizing long rests can quickly make a session with multiple movements quite lengthy). It is quite easy to end up training hours, burning out, or getting lost in all the goals/variations.
My initial thought is to master a few at a time before moving on the the next couple goals. But I would like to see other opinions and possibly some routines.
