 Next question is from Jamil, A-144. If you had to remove the big three exercises, what could you replace them with that would be comparable? What are we going to say the big three are? A squat, dead overhead press? No, well, they usually bench press, squat, and deadlift is usually what they say. Maybe we should do four, throw in some overhead press if you want, because that's when I feel like that's a staple. Yeah, so do I. This is easy for me. Back squat, if I had to never do a back squat again, the exercise I would do as much as a back squat would be a front squat, in my opinion. Oh, I would go Bulgarian. See, the thing is, that's still on the table, but the exercise to replace back squats for me would be front squat. I just feel like it's close enough to providing the benefits of a back squat, although a Bulgarian is pretty damn good. Yeah, I'm trying to think of something. First of all, why would you remove the big three? The only reason why you would remove the big three is maybe you don't have the barbell, right? I think it's just a hypothetical question. Yeah, just for shits and giggles. If that's a case, then I can get on board a little bit with the front squat, although I still, what I experienced, and this was later in my career of really focusing on the Bulgarian split squat, the benefits that I got from that were tremendous, and I saw a lot of carryover into my squat, my leg size, my stability, my hip mobility from it, my ankle mobility from it. I just, I prefer that. We're already so anteriorly driven, so doing something like a front squat. You know, when I compare, though, you're looking at the activation of the back, the low back, the ankle mobility, and then, you know, from watching Olympic lifters who are the best front squatters in the world, these guys are front squatting tremendous amounts of weight, and that's what a back squat's great at. A back squat is amazing because you can load the hell out of it, so it makes it one of the best exercises. I think the front squat is closer to that. Like, you can load the hell, you can get really, really good at front squats. Where do you stand on this, Justin? Well, I've actually seen athletes like really load heavy Bulgarian squats. Yeah, you can. Yeah, and so it's interesting to speculate about because if that is like, you prize that as much as a back-loaded squat, I've seen athletes actually really take off in their strength gains and their stability simultaneously, so I think that like... From an athletic perspective. From an athletic perspective. And functional perspective. Right, so, but I mean, I love the front squat too. I think that I would probably lean more on the Bulgarian. Yeah, all right, so the next exercise would be the deadlift. That's easy for me, and I don't know if this is cheating, but I do a trap bar deadlift. Is that too close? I know, right. Can I pick that? Yeah, I feel like that's too close. Is it too close? Yeah, yeah. See, I think it's different enough. How about a hip thrust? For a deadlift? Oh, no. No, no, I wouldn't do that. Or a barbell row. I mean, you gotta do something. You gotta... We gotta do something for... You gotta pick something up heavy. Yeah, well, you gotta do something for the back, right? I mean, you gotta do a big mover for the back. Yeah, but deadlifts are like hips. Well, yeah, that's why it's irreplaceable. If I had to get rid of it, the barbell row, just doing the barbell row, you get some of the glute hip hamstring stabilization to hold that position. So it's not being eliminated. So there's value in doing a 135 bent over row. Your hips are involved. Your glutes are involved. They're not moving and they're not flexing, but they're at least in a... They're in an isometric hold in that position. I'm just trying to... And you're rowing big weight on your back. I'm just trying to think of right now the strength that you get from a deadlift. Obviously, trap bar deadlift, you guys say that's cheating. I can kind of see that because it's so similar. Heavy farmer walks would be up there for me because of the kind of strength that it provides. It's kind of similar to a deadlift. Yeah, because it's an all-encompassing kind of a strength that you're getting from the deadlift. So I think that the farmer walk actually does accomplish a similar type of body response because you're stabilizing everything at once in your heavy weight, especially if you're really loading it heavy, I think that's valuable. Well, that's my case for the bent over barbell row. The bent over barbell row is going to get the hamstring and glute involved in the stabilization. The lower back is extremely... Is it in there? It's just like a farmer carry, the stabilization that you're getting with heavy load. You do that with a heavy barbell. You're getting all that in the hips and the hamstrings and then low back. And then in addition to that, you're rowing and getting the lats and rhomboids involved. The barbell row would have to be the exercise. Well, but here's the thing though. Does it mean you can't do other back exercises? You know what I'm saying? Like we're replacing the deadlift, but does that mean... Okay, so let's say we pick the farmer's walk. That means you can still do pull-ups. You could still do dumbbell rows. You could still do... It's just you never do deadlifts again. Yeah. That's the question. And if I never did deadlifts again, but I still had access to all these other exercises, the one that I would replace it with, and if I can't pick a trap bar, I'm thinking again, farmer's walk. Just the kind of strength that I get from the deadlift. You know? That's a tough one though. I think that's the hardest one to replace. That is a hard one. Bench press. Is it cheating if I say incline? Incline press? Or dumbbells. Yeah. I mean, is that cheating? Because I feel like those are great places. Well, you kind of got to remove the barbell, I would think. You know? Okay. Yeah, so if we do like dumbbell, bench, incline, heavy... Yeah, I'll take dumbbell, incline, bench all day. Or even a dumbbell flat. You know what's funny? You take out the barbell bench press, you're not missing much. I know. I hate to say it. But if you just never did it, and all you did were dumbbells and incline and dips... You'll be fine. Yeah, you're going to be okay. You would miss barbell squats, and you would definitely miss deadlifts. Deadlifts, yeah. Now overhead barbell press, I mean again, what are we going to say? Dumbbell press overhead? That's kind of the same exercise. Well, yeah, you have... Because there's nothing that... Or at least I'm drawing a blank right now of like getting you in full overhead extension. You can't eliminate that movement. That's such an important movement that you have. And if you're saying that you can't... If you never do it, you're screwed. Yeah, you have to do it. And a front delt raise and a lateral... None of those come close to that. It's the handstand push-ups not going to cut it. Yeah. Although... Although that's a good... Actually, that would be good. I know, but like you're just dealing with body weight is the only thing. It's definitely very, very challenging, and it sort of obviously turns it up on its head, right? But yeah, it's a very similar movement. I like that. Honestly, that's... Because I was drawing a blank on... Because I'm looking for something that you're getting... You're fully extended over your head. That's the... That is the most important part for everybody why that movement belongs in every routine is because we lose that. Just very... Of all the things too, that's up there with the things that I think we lose the fastest. That's what I used to see in my older clients. It was one of the number one... Aside from not being able to squat, not being able to do their posture, they couldn't reach straight up above the head. Not even older. I found this in myself. That was one of the limiting factors why I didn't do overhead press. I mean, I was in my 20s and I already had to arch my low back to get full extension. I mean, we are just so all rounded, right? We're all so forward. You're always reaching in front. Yeah, and if you're not training that, it's really, really tough for you to try and get that back, you know, and it takes a lot of work to get back to that place. So, yeah, Justin, I actually think that the old standing... Yeah, it actually does make sense. I don't think of anything else that would incorporate... Is it kettlebell overhead press count, or is that still true? Yeah, and see my brain would go more for the spiral line type of a press with the kettlebell just because it's a different load, but it's more favorable functional. I like the kettlebell overhead press more than dumbbell overhead press. If you asked me five years ago, I would have never said that, but I know that I've done them enough. Or your overhead carries. Overhead carries. Overhead carries with kettlebells would be phenomenal. I do those a lot with my son, you know that? Because that full extension is such a difficult thing. So we just practice walking with a single dumbbell or two dumbbells overhead. Great exercise. And it keeps that full extension. Now we're re-emphasizing the importance of that so your body is going to be able to keep that. After riding strong and training strong too, I became a huge fan of circus presses. That was not like ever a common movement for me. I love that. I was doing them just the other day again. That exercise, you get to use a little bit of body English to get the weight up there so I can go over on high low. And when I think about it, like you would kind of get, like to get a really heavy weight up over your head. You kind of would do it. You can't have to throw it up. You would, and you would kind of, you know, use whatever leverage you could to push over your head. Like you wouldn't have this strict, perfect form. It's a fun exercise. It is a fun exercise. It's a good exercise. I feel a lot of core stability in there. A lot of shoulder stability in there. That's a up there with one of my favorites.
