John McCallum was writing specialization routines in Strength & Health mag decades ago. [...]
Here is the TRUE SECRET FORMULA for achieving anything in the gym:
1. Pick a routine that is programmed properly to achieve your goal.
2. Stick to it for five to ten years, give or take small alterations along the way.
3. Enjoy your results.
That's it. People either do programs that make absolutely no sense, or they stick to programs for a month or so and then do something else. Training doesn't need to be complicated, it just needs time to work.

Here's my system:
- Squat, Pull, and Press one to three times a week each.
- Train so you GRADUALLY progressively overload one of the following: Weight, Reps, Sets.
- Do some cardio.
- Do some abs, if you want.
- Stretch and foam roll as much as you can.
- Eat a lot of protein with every meal. Everything else will sort itself out.
- Do this for a long time.

^^He has a good point. K.I.S.S. has always been a factor in any routine I have followed or wrote myself. No reason to reinvent the wheel. [...]
