I am convinced the reason no one where I have to train uses these movements is because it takes as much brain power as muscle power to use these exercises. They would rather plod mindlessly along on the treadmill and churn out hundreds of curls so there brain does not need to get involved. You guys that are blessed to have a local coach who knows the basics are a lucky bunch. I marvel at the complexity of the movement as I read trough SS once again. I am determined to keep after it even though my brain hurts. Thoughts?
