Not exactly the same. Squat, push, pull with the 'core' exercises being front squat, push press, and barbell row. Every 4th week I drop the core exercise and do a similar exercise (back squat, incline bp, RDL's most recently). Rep/sets vary each day as well between triples, doubles and singles. I also try to cycle the weight so that each 3 week cycle I add at least 5# to the top sets.

F'd my back up doing DL's a few months back. At my age (53) and with my job (bartender) I can't afford a serious injury so I'm probably done with DL's. Did some Romanian DL's last week which will have to suffice I guess. Similar story with BP. Years of lifting with crappy form (elbows flared) led to shoulder issues. Push presses are about the only 'push' exercise I can do regularly without pain. As for pull ups...I really suck at them so I don't do them very often.
