love this. i feel like everyone is always saying you have to squat bench and deadlift. for me, squats kind of hurt my knees. so glad to know. i can leg press instead.

As a physical therapist, everything that I have heard on this channel has been fantastic advice.

Awesome info I really wanted to bench and squat but my shoulder and back just never heal so I deleted them just before seeing this… thanks for your work there’s so much ego lifting and bad advice…. 💪✌️✌️

Been working out consistently for nearly 20 years now and never did a single bench press. I only do push ups and dips with weights added and have a decent aesthetic and strong chest.

great video coach Wisdom. i'm really glad you mentioned deadlifts, i'm not really good at them. so i'm really glad to hear i don't really have to do them!

Agreed! For myself, I've been doing martial arts and weight training for almost 20 years, but when I done more of the big 3 even for twice a week I wrecked my body and even my CNS. Training for longevity that's most important.

Just what I've been thinking. After years of lifting, my goto big lifts have been replace with incline dumbbell press, RDL and quad focused single leg leg press.👍👍

I agree.. the stronger I got I just kept thinking I had to do more weight on the big three. And that’s when the injuries came.. shoulders especially.. I still do all three on occasion, but not every week and there are so many variations to these lifts and I’m making gains doing these alternate lifts

I really enjoy doing Ring dips and Ring push ups over bench pressing, I feel like I can push harder to failure without worrying about injuring my shoulders.
