[quote=Anonymous][quote]Plenty of women can’t do a single pull-up - so what then? and again, three exercises on repeat is extremely boring. Depending on squats and pull-ups for your core strength is a recipe for shoulder and knee injury.[/quote] I'm 56 and I've been doing "the big three" (squat, bench, deadlift) for five years along with assistance exercises like dips and pull-ups. Not bored or injured yet. Core is very strong. Each of the "big three" has a lot of variations that you can do to change things up if you are "bored" or have hit a plateau. For example: Bench: close grip, incline, decline, floor press, add bands or chains, paused, board press Squat: paused, tempo, front squat, bands or chains, zercher, Bulgarian split, safety squat bar, buffalo bar Deadlift: hex bar, sumo, paused, tempo, deficit, Romanian, snatch grip[/quote]
