I posted on a golf forum that I frequent about starting Simple & Sinister. I have been strength training for many years mostly focusing on power lifting routines. I mentioned that I was looking forward to see how much this program improved my deadlift.
The first reply I got from the detractor was:
"Sorry but If this is the only thing you're doing its very unlikely you'll see any significant gains on the deadlift unless you've done literally nothing for the last decade. The exercises you mentioned are more for stability, balance and body control but not for strength building."
I asked if he had ever this program and his reply was:
"No I have not specifically done 5 sets of 10 swing and 5 tgus for a workout I have done some as a part of my workout mainly for rehab and warmup.
Heavy kb swings are decent as an accessory but still not very effective if the goal is to build strength. The problem with both is that you can't use enough weight to train for strength. Heavy kb swing are a very easy way of snapping a back without experience in training and keeping the core tight. Tgus are just for stability and even then you can't really recommend them. You're on the floor resting weight on the elbow and knee which is definately not a very good idea.
If your goal is to get stronger I would get on a proven strength routine. If this worked better than that you would see all the big guys in the gym doing it .
(E. Im assuming you're not doing this because of injuries or being unable to do anything else in which case it's obviously better to do what you can)"
I really do not want to get into a back and forth with this level of ignorance but would like you alls comments. Thanks.
