2. I've been doing TM squats for awhile and am barely grinding them out and need a change one way or another.
3. I love deadlifting, and it's really helpful in terms of offsetting the damage done by working in front of computers all day.
So I was thinking of trying to come up with a program based around DL'ing multiple times per week, plus chins, dumbbell presses (the only shoulder exercise I've found so far that doesn't cause too much pain), maybe a little squatting, some tricep extensions and HIIT.
So has anyone actually done one of these "deadlift only" or "deadlift every day" type programs? I'd love to hear from you if you've actually tried something like this. Thanks!
