    Hi Michael,

    I read your article “Strong Athlete, Zero Injuries” and find that your ideas are fantastic. I realized that many of the touted routines such as back squats and deadlifts are the cause of many injuries, some of which i have received myself. I am 23, and only 155 pounds. I hope to become stronger and have come across your name as one of the best authorities out there! I have a questions:

    1. If i replace the back squat with front squats, what can i do to developed balanced posterior strength (I only have access to dumbbells)?

    2. Is there a replacement for the single-leg/double leg deadlift in developing lowerback strength if you have a slight injury in the lower back and the movements themselves cause clicks in the hips? Are machines really that bad for you?

    3. Anyway of avoiding the occassional elbow pain on the inside and outside of elbows when doing the pullups/chins?

    Thank you,

    Joseph from New York
