With simple and sinister is not enough i mean that i feel it that way.
When i did simple and sinister i missed the pull ups and dips etc.
And you can say to incoperate these on other days but formeel its supplementary training.
And i have a very bad knee. Had a surgery but it is not better. Its painfull and stiff.
So even if i want to do simple and sinister i cant because i cant do the tgu with that knee.
How do you do that?
Again for guys half my age it seems maybay stupid but they have not trained that long.
I must see that these younger guys still train the same way then as they do now.
I think the most stopped completly when they are above 50.
I see it hete with my family and friend who think i am a strange guy because of my training.
Bottomline is that a fixed routine is not for me. I have to do what i can do.
Obviously I can't give medical advice or even know what it's like to have problems like that with my knee, but I thought I'd mention some other resources that included assisted squats in the program. I'd be curious to know if squats to (and off of) a relatively high chair still hurt your knees. The chair squats help to practice hinging with those hips and involve very little knees compared to Hindu Squats
Al Kavadlo's "Pushing the Limits" includes some great exercises for those with knee problems. That book also shows some great rehab/prehab exercises for the squat, bridge and pushup (think pushups on knees, squats from a bench or chair, beginner bridges). I think it even includes all of the Royal Court throughout the book as well.
Another part you might like is that that book is very light on programming..Al encourages you to do what you can with what you currently got. Might be a good resource.
The "recommended routine" on reddit is nicely designed and also includes assisted squats in its program, along side dips and pull ups 3 times a week. Pretty light and flexible on the leg training in that prgram if you wish
Also, get ups done with a very light weight (shoe get ups, a small weight, etc.) still have a lot of the benefits simply because the movement itself is so great, if your knee permits those. another option is a vest or a sandbag since you don't have to lunge as strictly, but you probably already knew that.
I think loaded carries would cover a lot of the same benefits as the TGU, especially waiter walkers, if those don't hurt your knees.
Glad you're listening to your body, Matt Furey and S and S arent for everyone as you can see
