Whoever decided squat/bench/deadlift was the ultimate training formula clearly missed the memo on BALANCE.Congrats, you can squat a small house, but your upper body looks like it hasn't seen a dumbbell in years.This mass psychosis perfectly highlights the average IQ of the fitness/gym community - the community where people make lifting things up and putting them down in a STATIONARY POSITION sound like fucking rocket science.Keep grinding those same 3 lifts, but don't be surprised when your massive legs are overshadowed by your tiny chest, girly shoulders and noodle arms.

>>75727135well duh, obviously, that's why SBD is strictly a powersharting thing, not bodybuilding thing
>>75727135i want to smelle her ass
Give me a name so I can coom
>>75727149Bench/DL/Squat became the standard because of sports training. You are trying to funnel an 80 man off-season roster through standardized workouts that you can also measure and assess. Those 3 are also very broad lifts that recruit lots of muscles and produce functional strength. Once you get to.the college level you also do specialized workouts in the off-season. In addition you are running, studying your sport, practicing etc. My only insight is playing college football. In the off-season you lift Starr method type workouts. On top of that I have meetings, camps, and they expect you to actually go to class too (unless you play for Miami)

>>75727135>Whoever decided squat/bench/deadlift was the ultimate training formulaNo one decided that, retard. They're a measurement of strength.
it should be bench/row/squat/curl
>>75727233>muh functional strengthlol. Stop posting retard. You are clueless.
OP combo is the troll combo. The real minimalist combo is dips, chin-ups, and heavy kb swings augmented with cardio of your choice.
>>75727467No retard you are literally clueless. Bench/squat/dead lift was popularized by Boyd Epley. He was the strength coach for Nebraska when they were winning non-stop national championships. Every other program followed suit. History lesson faggot, before the 60s athletes didn't do much general fitness training. They did sport specific drills only. In the 60s it became more common to incorporate general strength and fitness into practice and conditioning. So when Nebraska was winning all time people noticed and reacted. At the same time it was starting to gain popularity in the NFL. Epley also came out with the earliest 1rm estimator. >>75728120For a calisthenics (adjacent) routine maybe for general fitness. The big 3 combo was meant for athletes playing sports. You would get cardio and accessories from playing the game.
>>75728389Honestly it's kind of hilarious if Epley's original idea for the big three was meant for it to pair with sports as combination cardio and accessory muscle work. Somehow we fucked up along the way and now we have people with crazy muscle imbalances who just do those lifts alone while screaming that cardio kills gains.
People forget that those three you can progress on and get stronger on. All the other shit people say about balance and upper body etc is just basically spamming lateral raises for years without making a lot of progress once you've got your technique down.>I play my chosen sport plus do some barbell work for strength.Hurr wtf you don't do overhead cable tricep extensions enjoy your no gains faggot.?
>>75727135>someone told me to do squats, bench, and deadlifts>it never occurred to me to do curls to get larger bicepswhats next? your school never taught you how to do taxes so you never did them?
>>75728792Once you get to the programming stage, you can't ignore the context. It's generally 1) endurance 2) cross training 3) power/olympic lifts 4) body building. 1 and 2 simply aren't done 100% in a weight room so the lifts will look incomplete. Honestly it's not like anyone just works out with those three either. Anyone with a gym membership knows it's mostly the same power lifter types using the powerlifting equipment day in, day out. The average dedicated lifter will do cable, machines, and dumbbells because you can get, and stay, fit like that. >>75728864They are also 3 of the most universal exercises you can do. Deadlift is literally done by every athlete in every sport without exception. Squat and bench have a lot of cross over into many sports too.
