One of the main reasons that squats and deadlifts have always been prioritized is that they let you work a bunch of muscles with a bunch of weight in one shot, and that's always a recipe for fast results.
Any exercise that emphasizes the back and/or posterior chain (the glutes, hamstrings, and low back) is also going to be an exercise that "accidentally" stresses a ton of smaller muscles throughout the body. Can you think of a single chest, shoulder, or arm exercise that stresses as many different muscles with as heavy a load as most back or leg exercises allow? No, sir. No you cannot.
Another thing to consider is that, if you're only as strong as your weakest link, then you damn well better make sure that your weakest link isn't any of the muscles that make up some of the largest real estate on your physique.
I do not mean that the back must be just as strong as the arms, but that it must be many times stronger."


Und erst gestern Abend hab ichs mit einem guten Freund drüber gehabt. Das Problem ist, dass meiner Meinung nach mittlerweile das Bild so dermaßen verzerrt ist, dass die Leute 40 Ärmel auf 175cm erwarten nur weil sie das Körpergewicht in den GÜ´s bewältigen können.
Und dann haben sie irgendwann durch das ganze rumgecurle vllt 40er Ärmel aber nen Rücken, Brust, Beine, Schultern wie ein Mädchen.
