This is a bit of a basic bro question; but those Chris Williams podcasts (or whatever his name is) got me thinking. If you could only do 10 exercises forever, what would they be?
Seated hamstring curls (the lying down ones are probably better but I hate doing them)
DB Hammer curl
Katana extensions (50% because they look kinda cool, but they also give my triceps a crazy pump).
Seated BB Shoulder Press
Don't really have a clear 10th but probably standing calves maybe?
Definitely biased towards my more near term goals which are primarily 1) transitioning from more powerbuilding/compounds training to more vanity physique-based lifting 2) bit extra emphasis on shoulders and arms above minimum 3) some basic leg movements but cutting back (I know I know, but my legs genetically pack on both fat and muscle easily so genuinely grow more easily than my upper) 4) I basically don't train abs, although I probably should add some minimum volume.
I think this covers enough of the body for indefinite (a few compound lifts as a bandage fix for larger portions of the body). Critique my choices
@victorcourville Boredom aside, if it is just all about becoming fit (not massively fit). I just need 3 exercises to work the whole body
- weighted dips
- weighted pull up (do variances of handgrip count?)
- barbell squat
