I don't know if many remember this old school program, but the deadlift and dips workout is an effective combination.

Deadlift and dips sound badass, theres not a muscle being missed due to deadlift hittin so many

The badass carves his own path. He wears, drives, drinks, watches, and listens to what he chooses, when he chooses, where he chooses. Badass style is understated but instantly recognizable.
