Yeah because the torso's pushing movements are irrelavant ::)
Come to think of it...
For you,
we would add a spelling exercise ;)
I log on after a day out in the real world enjoying time with my family and here are the same old characters posting away on getbig. GET A LIFE!! ::)
English is not my first language. What's spelled wrong?
Relevant. But it doesn't matter. Just give three exercises if you know of a combo of three that come closest to training whole body
Oh my god the irony..My time here is far less than others, I don't have internet forum buddies like so many here think they do. ::)
The squat, a push and a pull

But you've managed to cultivate quite a bevy of internet enemies.
Interesting....
Squats
Pullups
Incline Bench
Squats
Pullups
Incline Bench
I think that combo is the winner
If you ONLY had three exercises? C'mon, think functional!

Jason, don't neglect those SCM muscles! ;)
touche!
:D ;D ;D

Depends on why one is training, I guess
You were at a lapse for thought, is all.
ive posted a response. A bit off miscommunication I think is all.
Jason
Incline DB press, 1 arm snatch, Reverse hyperextentions.
No I dont think so.
Squat
Bench
Chin or Bent overlow
No need dead lift. You can hit with squat.
Bench is the king of upper body exercise.
dips, chins, lunges.
I'd go:
Clean & Jerk.
Deadlift.
Pull-up/Chin up.
*Honorable mention to the Olympic Press.
All are large compound movements that add a lot to functional strength, and will build a very decent physique. They can also be done with very minimal equiptment and safely.
If I only had THREE exercises, I would 86 the squats and substitute with bulgarian split. Thats if I ONLY had three.
Olympic Press? Is that similar to a military press?
...what would they be?
You could never ever do anything else.
For the most total body development, I'd choose:
1) squat
2) Deadlift
3) Chins
Pretty much hitting whole body with those three
bulgarians are awesome, but squats are far superior. The opportunities for progression are FAR greater on a squat than a bulgarian, you can only load a bulgarian squat so much.
This is the way I look at it. Now follow me I'm not normal.............When I think of strength training, I think of functional type strength training. Lets go to the extream. If a someone told me that for the rest of my life that I could only do THREE exercises, would probably be the exercises I chose. Why?
DB incline instead of straight bar because although it's indirect shoulder work, it's also chest, shoulder girdle stability and also by using DBs I recruit more motor units. I can also use the same exercise for unilateral strength.
1 arm DB snatch - stimulate the CNS, unilateral strength recruiting almost every motor unit in the upper body while building equal strength on both sides. Also, the conditioning in this particular exercises is amazing.
Bulgarian splits - why? You don't walk or run on two legs. A great way to indirectly strengthen low back and psoas.
Substitute - 1 arm DB snatch for medicine ball complex.
P.S.. Don't go there with the "bullshit as usual" thing. I have yet to see a sound training routein on any board on here by anyone.
I like that. Easier on low back
I agree with you about the incline bench :)

3. Bottom position Bench

i know that alot of 'functional strength training gurus' recommend various esoteric exercises instead (as better alternatives to) of squats and deadlifts (they need to make up shit to make money). which is completely retarded. squats and deadlift (variations) are the best functional strength exercises by far. (for the lower body)
let me add: singel leg work is def good for functional strength (and sports training). but if you have to chose between squats or singel leg exercises like bulgarian split squats, reg split squats or pistol squats etc....reg squats are the best by far. (squats and deadlifts)
I agree with you about the incline bench :)
About the bulgarians i see your point, but your getting a lil too extreme there for me joey loco !
And if your going to do a 1 arm snatch for the rest of your life, id do it with a kettlebell before i would a db! much better choice there. But i wouldnt do either haha. :)
But I see where your coming from coach, also in all seriousness you should try to train a bodybuilder like an athlete and see how he looks, id bet the inclusion of functional training would be quite beneficial if added correctly. Just too many bb'ers are scared of doing cleans, snatches, and unilateral movements.
These 3:

Stupidist thing I've ever seen.
Famous pic. Gotta be a joke (I pray)
Look at my last show, I included alot of functional training in my routein along with the basics. What I would really love to do is turn bodybuilder into an athlete. Could you imagine the power and intimidation factor alone would be awesome ;D
Ok, what would you have bodybuilder change about his training to make him more of a athlete. I'm a former powerlifter turned bodybuilder and I consider myself very athletic.
Jason, I read your post. But when I said I haven't seen a sound routein on any board on here.......I will take that back and just add I haven't seen yours. But seeing who you train with and who you mentor after, I'm sure it's a sound routein for what you do. But the routeins that I have seen on here are missing alot of components that should be included but isn't. Again, all I see is sagittal plane movements and very little of anything else exept for maybe lateral movements for delts.
squatAgreed. Covers almost everything. Lats, biceps, pecs, rhomboids(depending on your grip), triceps, quads and glutes
chin
dip
Squat
Deadlift
Power Clean
what if you could only perform thirtythree exercises?
that would make quite an interesting list wouldnt it?
I would have a hard time thinking of 33 exercises that I would/couyld/ wouyld respoond to
Yeah, maybe squat, chin and incline press
Those would be my choices also. Squat=pretty much whole lower body and lower back. Chins=great for lats and will hit bis and rear delts some. Inclines=chest, delts and tris. Just about covers the whole body to some degree.
Shit someone might even do good on a routine like that.
Famous pic. Gotta be a joke (I pray)
No joke, all about training the core. Deadlifts off a swissball are great too.
