Power to the People: StrongFirst SFL Barbell

It's funny how they mention that a "double your body weight squat" is not something to be satisfied with.
For the majority of MA ( and even some regular strength training) a 2X BW squat is something to strive for.
That is a 340 lbs squat for a 170lbs person.

Yes - 2,5xBW deadlift, 2xBW squat, 1,5 BW bench... although I would definitely say DL and BP are more important for fighters than squat. Maintain the squat (Zercher), train the deadlift.

I would ague squat and DL are more important than the BP.
There are many exercises one can do to give the same or better results than the BP, not so much for the squat and DL.

I generally agree with Pavel on things, but on this I was going to say the same thing...

Indian wrestling, SQUATS and catch stretches rule the world

I personaly prefer other exercises than BP (one arm pushup, military press) - BP was included because it gives you the biggest bang for your buck for your upper body strength. BUT (and here is the catch) - not the bodybuilding BP, and not following bodybuilding program. No manboobs.

Correct BP is a full body lift if you know how to do it properly. Of course, without the DL power, flexible hip flexors and the ability to transfer the power form the ground up through core it is useless.

My guys do mainly BP, DL and Full Contact Twist with barbell as the main barbell "Easy Strength" program, with period of Zercher squats instead of DLs. Backsquat has its value, but especially competitive fighter do not want to gain weight (which will exactly happen with BSQ). That is why.

Last but not least - I am talking about strength training. Conditioning is the other important part of the coin, bit it is not what I mean right now guys.
