Benefits of torso training?

Training the torso offers several benefits including aesthetic improvements, balanced strength, joint integrity, and systemic hormonal and metabolic effects. Andrew Huberman practices torso training in a push-pull fashion to efficiently engage multiple muscle groups, which supports overall health and balance. This approach reduces the focus on isolating a single muscle group, which can yield broader benefits extending to muscles of the chest, shoulders, and back 1 2.

This multifaceted approach to torso training can contribute to improved muscle function and stability, which are beneficial in daily activities and enhance posture 1.
