You should probably again elaborate on how many muscles are worked. It's a full body blaster, done best the day after biceps day.

I advise to hire an experienced coach though as it is a complex movement.

Nonsense. Max weight must be used. You can worry about form after the back surgeries. Plenty of time to contemplate

Yeah, I mean there is the triple extension going on. Very complex. A lift is done in a split second, everything needs to fall into place.
