Episode notes
Legs: Best and Worst
- Barbell squats are the best leg exercise due to range of motion and full-body engagement.
- Avoid adductor/abductor machines; they offer minimal benefit compared to other leg exercises.
Glutes: Best and Worst
- Hip thrusts are the best glute exercise, especially for those who struggle to activate their glutes.
- Cable kickbacks are ineffective for building glutes; choose hip thrusts and squats instead.
Chest: Best and Worst
- Prioritize incline press over flat bench press for balanced chest development.
- Incline press engages the upper chest more effectively, leading to a more aesthetic physique.
