McRobert Tells All?

I have read a few reviews on Stuart Mcrobert's tell all handbook on
technique, and many of them seem to say a similar thing about the book. 'he
leaves out many of the dangerous movements that many people promote these
days'.

Now, has anyone read this book on technique, and can you possibly tell me
what the 'dangerous' lifts and moves he leaves out are? Obviously not
everything, but the kinds of things not addressed? I'm interested to know
what the guy thinks is unacceptable.

Thanks.

Quick lifts, situps, bridges, front squats, overhead squats, zerchers, spiders,
lunges....

What's wrong with lunges and front squats?

IMHO, nothing; I was actually listing the lifts I consider useful that he didn't.

His argument was that back squats were fundamentally BETTER than front squats,
so there was no reason to do front squats. And that lunges were dangerous
because they exercised one leg at a time, which requires lateral knee stability.

upright rows, behind the neck presses, good mornings, variations of
lifts involving extreme ranges of motion, ballisitic variations of
lifts, etc. There're also a million and one different odd lifts and
variations of lifts that no book can be certain to encompass all of and
make it to print within a century. There're also two editions (at least)
of the technique book. I have the first, not the second.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
