www.fitbomb.com/2012/05/health-lift.html?m=1In its day the health lift was promoted as a kind of standalone exercise to bring well-being. If you were to think about the best bang for the buck fitness moves what would they be? Here are my top 3:
In my humble opinion, it's hard to beat kettlebell swings when it comes to overall "bang for the buck" in a single exercise. LOVE 'em
Another single exercise that gives a tremendous "bang for the buck" just happens to be very similar to the 'Health Lift', and that exercise is heavy 'Rack Pulls'. Do them hard and heavy every 7-10 days, switching between a 'regular' and a thick barbell for that 'worked to the bone' feeling; not to mention the testosterone boost that they provide which will positively enhance any other exercise protocol you happen to partake in. ***If you don't have a rack you can still do them, just get yourself a loading pin, plates, some chain, carabiners or 'S' hooks, and buy / make a few different handles. Lift yourself to the next level and beyond
Lastly, another HUGE "bang for the buck" exercise that I need to start doing again is an exercise I used to call "Bearhug-Squats". I got it from Steve Justa's kooky but fantastic book "Rock Iron Steel". Get yourself an empty beer keg or similar sized barrel and start out by loading it up with sand and/or rocks to a fairly light and reasonable weight. Maybe something as light as 5-10 pounds of extra weight to start out with. Grab the keg /barrel in a bear-hug and squat up and down to your hearts desire. I used to vary the set / rep scheme, but mostly used a single set of 20-30 reps. Do them once a week, and each week after your workout add a cup of sand or a handful of rocks to your chosen vessel. You can also add cups of water to mix up your recipe .... Be consistent, and in a years time the weight of the vessel along with your STRENGTH will have increased substantially. ...In 2 years time of consistent progressive Bear-Hug squatting you'll be positively BEASTLY
My favourite exercise book of them all! I am looking into getting a barrel / drum, found some reconditioned ones locally, 200 litres for around £25. Will get one in a few weeks.

www.overspeedtraining.com/legsart.htmBULGARIAN LEG TRAINING SECRETS By Angel Spassov, Ph.D., D.Sc. and Terry Todd, Ph.D. Almost a decade ago, a retired Soviet hammer thrower came to the conclusion that traditional forms of squatting were not the best way to strengthen the muscles of the thighs and hips. Many in the Soviet Union considered this heresy, as the squat was the king of leg training in that country just as it was, and is still, in the United States.

EXERCISE TWO: SINGLE LEG SQUAT ERNEST ALLEN, Maxalding Medallist and noted competitor in International and National Physique Competitions, shows this fine leg developer exercise. Grasp right ankle with right hand. Bend the left leg until right knee touches the floor as shown in second illustration. Straighten the left leg with a steady motion. Complete full repetitions on left leg before performing with the right. The heel of the supporting foot should be raised as the body is lowered. simplexstrong.com/2020/07/tough-muscle-building-work-of-advanced-non-apparatus-training-1955/

It's the wheel reinvented on this thread. Unless ur a young man or on PEDs, heavy lifting should be refrained on. Deadlifting & squatting heavy into ur 50s,60s & 70s increases the risk of blowing something out. Even Jack LaLanne stuck primarily to calisthenic & gymnastic routines in his later years.

Indeed! The most effective machine with the least visual appeal.

There's a bit about this in Pavel's Power To The People book but I do not know if the person he discusses is Winship. He mentions that the man who advised about the benefits of the health lift was of advanced age so I would not think it was a 42 year old. I'm pretty sure Pavel took the quotes from Earle Liederman's book.
I often wonder if doing a few Kiveloff full body isometrics would accomplish the same thing?

Seems I remember reading somewhere that the idea of the Bulgarians abandoning traditional training and adopting step-ups was nonsense. The whole thing was considered a hoax to mess with opposition. However Terry Todd is a respected individual in the strength world….interesting
