Ok - let's start by saying that there is no ultimate workout for anything. That said its always fun to see.
A loooong time ago I assited Pavel and Steve Maxwell at a Naked Warrior Seminar. I did a pullup with 2x32kg KBs attached that day. Fast forward maybe 8-10 years, there will be no more of that, comrade. My shoulders are not as much fun as they once were and I've worked around that just fine. But I've also gotten away from my roots in BW training.
What are we trying to "reverse" as we get older? Well, what makes an old guy look old. Think of od guy walking down the street -fragile, slow, stiff, weak. We also know balance tends to fade, and what I call the "reverse old man posture" sets in, big gut, no butt.
I've really noticed my knees getting stiff lately, which is weird for me since I could always to the "a#@ to grass" sqaut. But now I'm sitting in meetings and traveling alot, and I'm feling it.
I'm thinking the combination of balance, pure strength and flexibility required to do the full on Naked Warrior thing but be just the remedy. It also satisifies the "Strong First" mnifesto. rather than start stertching and standing on a ball, do this - One arm/One leg pushup, dead bottom pistol. Supplemented by heavy swings. Started today, let's see what happens.
