TGUs are pretty awesome! I like doing lifts that work a lot of different things.
I've been enjoying the front squat-push press combo in NRoLfW -- it does legs AND arms in one easy exercise! Though I don't feel like I'm getting enough mileage out of my squats that way, since my push-press is about what I use for my warm-up weight for a squat. After I finished the stage where I do those, it occurred to me that I might throw some extra plates in a backpack or something, to add weight to the squat without adding it to the press. Though I'm not sure how that would affect my balance. But people do squats with weighted vests, so it's kind of the same, right? (I even have a vest with big pockets, I could totally even distribute tiny plates in them; that's probably a better idea. Yay for improvised equipment.)
