I avoid sldl because I can not simply do them, for me its dangerous to my lower back. I also avoid the hack squat machine as i get pain in my knees.

Ive heard people avoiding upright rows, but i do them?

I tend to avoid anything that puts strain on my lower back because of this I haven't done any proper squats or deadlifts in my program yet
(Yet to be taught PROPER technique)

I tend to avoid any shoulder movements which feel uncomfortable, upright rows dont feel great, behind the neck press definitely a no-no
Not sure why, but my right shoulder has a twinge every now and then from footy days. Even the one hand - open palm method on the steering wheel is uncomfortable sometimes.

Skull crushers / LTE's are hit and miss. It's a little better now but l wont be doing them anymore as there not in my program.

Front squats, simply because l have the co-ordination and flexibility of a crab.

Northside. I train at goodlife

your missing out not doing squats or deadlift.


Iron Underground
Performance Training Centre (PTC) (or contact Sticky on here)

Go to one of these gyms and get them to show you how to deadlift squat.

I avoid curling in the squat rack.

I actually tried those for the first time ever last week and after 3 light sets decided the sheering load across my kness was not worth it.

I read a tiny bit on EFTS the other day from Jpeg, his suggestion is box jumps are not really much more than a test of hip mobility UNLESS there is vertical dissplacement of the hip. (the box is higher than your hips)

I am now condsidering some kind of experiment looking at the comparison of box jumps to say Hi-Pulls or some other movement aimed at force rate production like a dynamic Squat.
