training with as few exercises aspossibl

	2005/08/23, 05:34 AM Just wondering what your picks would be for training the whole body with as few exercises as possible....including olympic movements, which count as 1....power clean+push&press,snatch,clean/jerk,etc with only 5 exercises to train whole body I would choose: Heavy: Squat PowerClean+Press Pull Ups/Chin Ups Incline Bench Press

Basicly a steady diet of deadlifts and pull ups, with the occasional ab workout. Very sport specific lifts, so along with practice, that was all I needed. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.

	2005/08/24, 01:20 PM wouldn't deadlifts fatigue lower back for the clean exercise? and don't they train same bodypart(I always see power clean as a substitute for deadlifts in training)? I am a bit surprised you didn't choose squats...how come?

If i could only choose three, i would substitute overhead squats for parallel squats, and then just do the full contact twist and deadlift. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk.
