Number Two, a quick follow up question
Say you had two exercise choices in a similar area in regards to both MU activation and muscles worked (eg. squat vs. deadlift) and a relatively large discrepancy in ability to load between the two (deadlift well above squat). Would it be more effective to focus your efforts on the one that you were best at and not really worry too much about “balancing” it out. In effect what I’m asking is do you see any potential problems with using deadlift and bench as the primary strength movements and not really performing squats as a weight exercise (but maintaining the movement in warmup activities)? My thinking on this would be that it is relatively similar to Ben not really using the clean and sticking to squat/bench. Your thoughts?
