It depends on what you are trying to achieve. I don't think most people realise that there are actually quite a number of different ways to work out, depending on what your final goal is. Direct can tell you this himself as he's probably told most of his customers this.
For example, building muscle to be a muscle man type, or toning up to be a model type require entirely different forms of exercise. Yes, some of the way you look is based on genetics but a lot of it is based on which exercise you do, how often you do it, and how and what you eat.
Something I picked up on quite recently, which I think is beneficial for most guys that go to the gym is this:
Everyone loves the pecs and abs and I daresay they are the toughest to train up to look good. Now ask yourself, do you want the muscle man look, or the male model look?
Muscle man is obviously large rounder pecs that stick out and a 6 pack that looks like you just stuck 6 golf balls underneath.
A male model/surfer/swimmer look is larger but flat and square pecs with a big gap in between and flat washboard abs. They don't stick out but are more toned.
Basically, if you're going for muscle man then you need to work on your lower pecs. Preferably a flat bench press and flat dumbell flyes, plus lots of high intensity ab exercises. Mostly upper.
Model look on the other hand, you should work on upper pecs to help stretch them up and out, not in all directions and make them massive like the muscle man. For this a good idea is to do incline bench and flyes and try and rarely use a flat bench (as that puts emphasis on lower pecs). For abs, static ab exercises. When you move your abs a lot, they grow. You don't want this for this look as you want them to be strong and toned, but not massive. Best exercises are working on your lower abs (leg raises, but at a slow static pace) and the plank exercise (google it).
