In Updates and Reflections on Optimal Exercise after Nearly a Decade, you talk about moving away from squats, benches, and deadlifts, but it seems in this post you recommend goblet squats and RDLs. Could you please explain what is the advantage of switching to these exercises, compared to using the routine from Updates and Reflections with supersets and less rest time as recommended here? I’m not a complete beginner but I’ve only done bodyweight stuff before, so I’m a bit confused (Nick E’s BWSF, specifically). Thank you for the post sequence in any case, I found them very informative.
it’s about training the same muscle groups with lower joint injury. eg people do deadlifts with 2x+ bodyweight but RDLs are effective at bodyweight even for strong people.
lately i’ve been doing one legged leg press for similar reasons, though less time effective.
