The best exercises mimic basic movement patterns. Changing load, tempo, rest and rep range is the best for constant progress. Time under tension is a key component in changing ones body aesthetically. Although I'm a huge advocate in training shorter energy systems with less TUT, the exercises are paired with assistance exercises to tackle the other important elements. Oly Lifts, when done correctly, have very low TUT, therefore have little metabolic demands and little visual changes.
Don't listen to the crossfit dummies at the gym, who are using Oly lifts in a high rep circuit.... Just dumb, dangerous and worthless.
No offense to crossfit but it's not an exercise program... It's a sport. So stop trying to be everything to everyone. Because it's not happening.
True coaches know the difference.
