Biceps: cleans
Triceps: Jerks

Personally, I favor training and developing all of my muscles.[/quote]

Agreed.

Who said anything about dropping chins and rows for curls? Is it so hard to simply ADD bicep curls and train them ALONG WITH chins and dips?

So so true. You saved me having to post exact same.

I like how Epps made a ‘can’t go wrong with’ category, which includes the Oly lifts.

As I’ve kept training, I’ve realized that everything actually can’t be fixed by Oly lifting.

Who knew?

QFT

You mean Oly lifting hasn’t helped you reach your goals? what were those goals? Pec growth? Massive calves?
Actually calves are a totally different topic, whether you have long attatched calves or short attatched.

Well, if you look at olympic training, Olympic athletes actually dont JUST do the Olympic lifts. They also do benchpresses, deads and extra ab work etc, otherwise you must remember that Olympic Lifts AREN’t designed to show supreme size, but supreme power. Almost a tribal survivalist thing.

So, yeah, I agree with you, Olympic lifts you can’t go wrong with, but they can waste your time if you want to be bigger than one of those ‘ripped’ olympic lifters. The olympic lifters tend to be like powerlifters, where they get fatter and fatter as they get in higher weight-classes.

I’m just a beginner, but these are the ones I feel are doing the best job even though I don’t have much experience, so I could be off.

chest: DB press, cable DB flyes
upper back: pull-ups, barbell rows!
shoulders: nothing stands out
biceps: seated row curls
triceps: skullcrushers
abs: nothing stands out
quads: squats
hamstrings: Romanian deadlift
calves: nothing stands out
lower back: deadlifts!

chest: DB press
upper back: pull-ups
shoulders: standing dumbell press
biceps: deadlifts
triceps: close grip bench
abs: swiss ball roll outs
quads: olympic squats or powerclean front squats
hamstrings: Romanian deadlift
calves: bottom focused calf raises
lower back: deadlifts!

This is easy.

The exercise that is the best for each body part is the one your either:

a) not doing or haven’t done in a long time

b) the one you hate the most because usually that indicates you have a weakness in it.

gotta switch it up from time to time…
