Another great article by Boris the Squat RX video series creator hits RG. It’s short and straight to the point and as usual it’s full of wisdom. He finally hits the question that has been on everyone’s mind.
He discusses his 5 favourite exercises:
*PULL-UPS*
*KETTLEBELL (LONG CYCLE) CLEAN & JERK*
*FARMER'S WALK*
*SHOULDER CARRY*
*SQUAT*
Trust me something even I am re-reading over and over again.

nice exercise choices
I agree pullups and squats are a must. I like the dumbell squat to press movement and also the burpee to pullup exercise (begin a burpee, when legs out stretched do a press up, bring knees back in then jump up to a pullup bar and carry out a pullup) a hard exercise to do. Rgds
Nice to see at least someone
Nice to see at least someone is reading my posts, good choices

It depends on the aim of the session. What does favourite mean? If its to pick an all round exercise for each main type of movment (pretty vague) then mine are bench press, back squat, deadlift, power cleans and bent over rows. what do people think of this?
cycling
i am 49 train at gym 3 times a wk, i am doing a 60 mles ride for charity in june i am fit in the gym but when i get on my bike do obout 6 to 7 miles i feel very tired. can you give me any tips on how to build my strength and stamina up please.barrie.
cycling stamina
For leg endurance, power and stamina i use a good couple of exercises.
1. Squat and hold (1 min each hold in deep squat position)
2. Box Jumps (jump onto sturdy platform at leat 2 feet high for repeats)
3. Lunges (both forward and back, for reps or with a light weight)
you can incorporate them into your normal routine but go for a good deep burn, this will improve your cardio threshold and leg endurance.
Hope this helps
cycling stamina
That won’t stretch your endurance at all. Looks like your going too fast. You need to find set paces:
1. Comfortable pace - Rate of perceived exertion of 4/5 out of 10
2. Just above anaerobic threshold (inside the burn)
3. Just below anaerobic threshold (outside the burn)
4. Chosen/goal pace for ride (close to comfortable pace probably as its 60 miles in total)
Then:
5. Weight training for general conditioning and GPP
Your goal is too be able to keep actively moving for long durations without much break between. Not strength that’s separate.
The majority of your training should be working at intervals of your goal pace. Just try and do set intervals of say 2 minutes on 2 minutes off at chosen pace (then 3 minutes then 4, then less break i.e. 1:1 then 1.0.5 etc whatever make it up) for an hour, do not go slower! If you can’t do any more at set pace cool down and end session – it may be back to the black board but this is ok as you are learning about your abilities and boundaries. Do 1 hour sessions. The other 4 can be incorporated for variety. Hope this helps.
good choices
i like the choice set. Iprefer core/functionality power moves. I.e. squat to press, burpee pillups. I get in and out of the gym completing a more intense workout than most others in the gym. I love the deadlift.
