Ideally you would do both, and it is the reason both are included in typical programs (SS, 5/3/1, etc). One really isn't an alternative to the other, and you will need to balance them for even development and shoulder health. Operator is very effective, but it requires sacrifices. You hit 3 full bo...

Personally I prefer chin ups. There is some difference, but I think it's a matter of personal preference and what causes you the least injury.

Congrats! May I ask you what is your trap bar DL routine with OPI/A? ##sets/##reps/##days? And how do you feel about it? I am genuinely interested due to programing my next block. Thanks! I do it 3 days a week with around 20 reps a day during the 70-80% weeks and varying a bit on the 90-95% weeks (...

Just wrapped up a 6 week Operator I/A (from TB2) block after a 3 month hiatus from lifting.
