      I dont do them anymore either... Have to work around existing injury's. For chest i start with the hammer strength machine 4 plates loaded on each side 5 working sets of 12-20 reps then free weight flys 60 lb dumbbells 5 working sets of 12 reps and i finish off with incline free motion cable flys 5 working set of whatever weight i can move. Each training day is something similar meaning that i am working around injury avoiding compressing my spine. It seems top be working... Not bad for a little guy

        I wish I could post huge numbers, nut I'm with Jim, my back don't handle heavy weights with deads or squats. I do light weight squats and sometimes light deads, but seldom go over 225. Most times I'm under 160 when I even do them.
        As far as bench, I will do 1 set of 5 once a month to assess progress. I never use barbells anymore for bench. DBs baby!

              I can't squat for shit. Like no flexibility in my shoulders so I end up forcing the bar onto my neck... It's a injury waiting to happen so I don't squat. Started stretching at home. Gunna get as flexible as I can so I can finally start squatting.

                  Wish the squat numbers were higher, but they've gotten better by leaps and bounds. I used to have a tendency to miss leg day lol

                        I used to be like that SO bad... But I got my mind out of 'liking' one workout over another. If you don't like them all and go into the gym equally as enthused then I find I'm not mentally prepared for it and fail.

                          Deads 405x4
                          Squats 315x10
                          Bench 315x6
                          That's great magnus! I hope to get there soon. My deadlift days are over for the most part, and squats are light. I have back issues. But I'm slowly increasing weights and doing deads starting at mid-calf.

                            I hear you buddy. I'm 30 and have arthritis in my lower back(as well as degenerative disc disease), arthritis in my knees, elbows, shoulders, and my hands are the worst. My right thumb hurts so bad some days that I literally cry just wanting the pain to stop. I know lifting probably isn't the best thing for me to do, but I feel it really helps me deal with it.

                              BUMP!

                              IMO this "big 3" are the best cost/effective excercises for sure. Lot of weight, lot of muscles involved, lot of fibers being activated/recluted then finally lot of gains. I know a BB cant live from this 3 only but for bulking I think its the better base u can pick and then add some auxiliaries to burn where u want.
