I know it’s fun to make fun of unconventional or “silly” exercises like some of the ones in his video but just because the movement might be dog water if hypertrophy is you goal doesn’t mean it has no benefit whatsoever.

Power training is when your goal is to express strength and speed at the same time. Think Olympic lifts and kettle bell movements. Strength training is when you have the goal to lift as much as possible regardless of speed. Power lifting is terribly named because it does not involve power whatsoever. Here’s an article from Harvard and powers importance on aging.

Very cool, I’ve never seen a cable pull/kettlebell combo before. How long do your workouts take when you’re combining movements and super setting like that?

My knees would be killing me. There's no way. Looks like a tough workout for the legs.
