These days, I mostly do Presses, Split Squats, Swings, Getups, Ham Curls, Tricep Extensions, Bicep Curls, Calf Raises, Grip Work, and Rowing (cardio).Why?
-S-
They're all fine exercises, and I do them because I enjoy them. But I miss having varied athletic qualities.
I'm not willing to give up Presses and Split Squats (or swings and getups) as my main exercises because they're what I like. But I wouldn't mind including training that worked a variety of other attributes.
I understand that not everyone will feel this way, and I appreciate all of the feedback and advice that everyone has shared.
I guess I want to stay capable of doing the things I love and being the person that I want to be. And that person is more than someone who can move weight. He's someone who can move athletically and well.
Edit:
[The times in my life that I've been the most athletic have been times when my training has been built around higher reps of bodyweight drills and running / sprinting, so this may affect my view on these standards]
