Bob, you mentioned many times here on GB, (in fact I even asked you about it in the last 2 months) how you didn't do sqt, deads or bench. I don't have the threads bookmarked or anything.
So let me ask you now:
When was the last time u REGULARLY performed Sqts and deads Bob?
I've written articles on the subject, and stated many times that Squats, Bench, DL are not MANDATORY, that there are plenty of other exercises that are just as effective (if not more for some)...
I did all three for the better part of 20 years...as for the last time I did squats on a reg basis...1998 just prior to my back surgery, DL years before that
If you read my article, it explains it in greater detail...
