Synchro: This is not a quiz. I don't intend to seem short, but I know my body (previous injuries, imbalances, strengths/weaknessess, etc.) and I know what works for me. I don't need to rationalize exercises. As I mentioned, the reason I posted a routine was because I was hoping that others would post their own, and maybe I could add a variation, learn something new, etc. Rather than tearing what works for me to shreds, please feel free to share what you're doing in terms of resistance training (not becuase I want to tear it to shreds, for the sake of curiosity).
i'm not looking to tear things to shreds, but am curious as to what activies you think stiff leg deadlifts are functional for.
in terms of my own training it's a powerlifting based program with dose of olympic training moves and rotating athletic based moves.
i rotate a number of different asisstance exercises in around my base training depending on what i feel like doing that day. some things i've been using more of
- ball push-ups with one ball under each hand, working up to having a third ball under my feet.
-step-ups combined with alternating db shoulder presses
-combing a low to high chest press with a high to low lat pull while standing on a wobble board in the middle of a cable crossover
- one are rows without any external support.
-standing cable rows with a rotation
-superman planks
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
