they do not have the neuro skills to perform freeweight exercises.

Lies. Outright and complete.

I would love to see you try and take someone that is sedentary and immediately start them with freeweights. Freeweights are advanced. Maybe not for you, but for most people. There are also other concerns such as most people just starting a routine do not like to go into the meathead section with the freeweights. This makes them uncomfortable and less likely to continue a fitness program.

Heres a good example. You dont start someone out doing crunches on a swiss ball when they cant perform a crunch on the ground effectively. They dont have all of the skills, and yes some of them are neuro, to perform the exercise effectively. It would be a waste.

And I'd give them a broomstick and we'd practice things like utilizing proper form getting it off the ground and standing and sitting with. They'd have perfect form before they ever picked up a weight and increase flexibility and mobility.

Deadlifts and Squats are movement that everyone does everyday. We don't think about it, we just do it.
