Jesse Irizarry: @phatphit - I agree with DSSG and PhilGER. These are pretty basic movements if you're trying to stay as strong as you can.

PhilGER: @phatphit-I can't find any high-risk exercises in Jesse's article..the dinstinction between training and working out to stay strong is kinda wishy-washy the way you put it...all the above described exercises can be useful getting stronger and staying strong.

DSSG: What do you mean? Everything looked about as safe as a legitimate squat/deadlift/bench/row will ever be, or even slightly more safe. If you have herniated every disk in your spine/it is incredibly degenerated does that make deadlifting dangerous for you? It probably would, but not for everyone else who is healthy, and has proper mobility/movement patterns.

phatphit: some of these exercises are so unnecessary..risk/reward kinda thing. not all the readers here are training, im just working out staying strong as i can.

Leo Solis: I really dont understand the obsession with insects, after all fish are also ectothermic (cold blooded) and reproduce exponentialy too ( A100g tilapia can lay 1000 eggs. Prolificity is proportional to size), being cold blooded allow fish to have really awesome convertion efficiency rates, beacuase they dont have to waste engergy in thermogenesis wich constitutes most of the metabolic expenditure in endoterms (birds and mammals).

PhilGER: Yep, for the 6-10rep-range kinda bb delt work-if hypertrophy was the focus- but most of my 25 years with weight training for OH I did jerk, squat jerk, split jerk, PP and the good ol' standing press.... and I like one-arm clean and press with heavy dumbbell doing singles alternating the arm after each til I can`t do another...
