Bye bye shoulders! Enjoy worn out joints in a few years like every crossfitter I've ever met.

Crossfitters don't do pushups. I don't know why you equated the two.

I equated the high rep count with crossfitters. I am not a crossfitter so I do not know what exercises they do. I do know they do high reps, I also know they have a lot of joint issues. Therefore I concluded that your recommendation was like crossfitters and would suffer the same consequences.

Plus one on the kettlebells, particularly if you're chasing your squat ghost. All about that hip hinge.

I wouldn't bother with deadlifts on my daily workout, but you can't go wrong with pilates. Also, there's a guy on youtube called original strength that teaches easy and effective bodyweight core exercises.

Most "gym workout" stuffs only have one real downside; you stay static, camped on your feet while pulling things at you

In combat it's not great. Sure you have more strength you're in shape etc, but your body's first goto when stressed is the lamest thing ever. Camped on your feet, and you pull things at you... And then? Nothing, just that.

When I was doing bjj one of the most important workouts I found to be were the sitting row pull. Pulling toward you seemed more important than pushing away. Was an unexpected find. Also since I normally neglected / didn’t take that workout seriously.

Yeah it has upsides, that being said you were using it (workout) in combination with a martial discipline, pushups are great too, for anything boxing typically, squats also if your knees can afford it. Now I was more thinking about lifting iron, like that typically https://pic8.co/sh/fC4gbf.jpg

It's not that it is bad in itself, it's just that when you're used to do mostly that sort of stuff, you'll instinctively do exactly that in situation, unsurprisingly. It can be a good thing in the case you mentioned for instance, jiujitsu context, just as it can be a rather bad thing, like as I said, you stay camped straight on your feet, facing the the target not even positioned sideways and you'll instinctively give all you have pulling "it" toward you essentially, which in itself is mostly a big useless waste of energy potentially putting you at risk for no obvious advantage unless you do something with it, and that's precisely the missing part in the conditioning, if anything that's where I'm getting at
