After rewatching this video I made a while ago, I realised I edited the most important thing out!

I'm not saying you shouldn't do them. If you enjoy doing them, then of course you can do them. They're great movements. But if you don't enjoy doing them, then don't feel like they're a must have in your gym program! ✌🏼

Love your honesty! Thanks for your advice based on your experience :)

The injury risk and warm up time is part of why I set relatively modest strength standards and chase rep PRs at set weight if at all. Best choice I ever made for health and longevity

As a tall lifter that’s already gotten my fade share of injuries I absolutely agree with you man. At the end of the day, everyone should do what feels good for their bodies and helps them reach their fitness goals.

Lowkey you are becoming my favourite fitness youtuber

Very true. After doing bench press for a while my shoulders started to feel pain. Then I switched to inclined dumbbell press and it's so much better, cause you can easily adjust the dumbbell angle and position in your hand compared to the straight lined barbell.

This man is UNDERRATED AF. Went through the exact same cycle he mentioned. Brilliant 💯👏🏽

I can agree deadlift and bench can be replaced easily with rdl and db variations of them. I wouldn’t replace squats though, doing squats regularly gave me a mental toughness no other exercises can give. Also a great leg builder nonetheless.

I'm a bodybuilder for me personally I swapped bench for barbell dumbbells press and machine presses, squats for hack squats but I do still like deadlifts for the spinal erector and lower back development. But for deadlifts I really only go up to 80% strength and keep it in the 5-6 reps for my heaviest sets rather than doing one rep maxes.

I agree with you my friend. Compounds are fun but there is a-lot of other excercise that have helped me grow and develop a better physique As a natural.. plus most gym chicks prefer aesthetics over strength.

Thanks for the advice big bro, i was afraid of doing this cuz i regularly go to the gym in 3 months, and feel like i could injure myself if i do this and i believe i will progressively work my way so i can do it

[christophernguyen]

This is something I've been struggling with. I used to love Squats, but recently it just hasn't been it. I LOVE deadlifts, but i recently injured myself doing them. I don't want to stop doing Deadlifts but I'm scared of injuring myself again.

Ok, I'll just do overhead squats, snatches, and clean and jerks then 😎

That signature guitar tone is what I’ve been missing man it’s so Vola

[elliotnorlin]

I do it cause it’s fun and seeing the progress is niceee

[xSubutai]

Ive taken barbell Squat, Deads and barbell bench out of my lifts because of a back issue.

Havent had any injuries since. DB bench, Hack Squat and Chest supported row is my go to now.
