Think about your answer, and try to explain why you have choosen the way that you have.

That's like taking a kiddie to a candy store and telling them they can't have any

Squats: well, I only do zercher squats, but I'd still miss them.

Deadlift: I'd have to opt for the deadlifts, there's just something about picking a weight up from a dead start and the achievement of having done so.

hows about single leg deadlifts on a bosu ball? no?

BigTallOx does them both at the same time.

He deadlifts with a barbell on his back.

(Some of you think I'm joking )

With all the nutty combo exercises out there, I'm wondering whether you are or not...but balancing a barbell with no hands to begin with, hm??

He has a video of him doing it in his log. Can't find it though.

Woah, looks like I've got to go take a look...but not something I'll try any time soon, even though I do generally try the weird and whacky exercises

Your mission is to get some of these guys to do one arm deadlifts and finger deadlifts

^^ yeah, that's something a lot won't touch with a barge pole...my latest is the little-finger DL currently 8kg but I reckon it would be higher if I had a different rigging set-up for it.

Middle-finger deadlifts rule on the aspect of teaching not to pull with the arms when you hit the normal 2-handed deadlifts; it's all in the form, as long as you can handle the pain
