Top 10 exercises

[victorcourville]

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?

Mind would be:

1. Incline smith machine press
2. Behind the back lateral raise
3. Cross cable Tricep extension
4. Incline bicep curl
5. Pull ups
6. Hack squat
7. RDL
8. Standing calf raise
9. Chest supported row/ lying tbar row
10. Leg extensions

Feel like I hit the whole body nicely.

What are yours?

@victorcourville Fun exercise! In no particular order

• Barbell Bench
• Barbell Squat
• DB Lateral Raises
• DB Row
• Lat Pulldown
• 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]

@doks Nice! Imagine beginners just stuck to these forever and got fukn strong. Be huge af after a few years.

 

[doks]

@victorcourville Yep, I’m quite advanced and these are still like 90-95% of my training

 

[dsal]

@victorcourville I’d drop 9 and have back extension or ABs.

 

[victorcourville]

@dsal Abs! Good suggestion. My go to usually cable crunches. But yes, would be a good swap out.

 

[dsal]

@victorcourville Forearms too. Lower back is important along with abs to prevent injuries. Rdl should be good for back tho

- weighted dips
- weighted pull up (do variances of handgrip count?)
- barbell squat
