Stephan Korte is a German powerlifter. He was a champion but had a cancer. He has his own method called the 3x3. It means you'll do only Squat, Deadlift and Bench Press but each exercise 3x per week (which I believe is too much for lower back). If you want more informations here's a link :

It seems the BIG THREE really hit well all the major muscles of the body except maybe the typical "bodybuilders muscles" : Biceps. I personaly really like the idea of very abbreviated routines.

I lifted for over 4 years I made a lot of mistakes. So I'm not strong, nor big yet but I believe I know how to do things now and I'm still motivated even if I have to restart at ZERO with the new lifts I do (didn't squat or bench since 2 years, didn't do deadlift since 6 month). I did a few singles of (full) Front Squat at 60kg for the first time. I enjoy the lift and it should really hit hard the quadriceps and save the lower back compared to deadlift. I'll add it, so I'll do the BIG THREE + some curls ops:

Workout A : Deadlift + Curls
Workout B : Bench Pess + Front Squat
