I actually made a thread a few months back that was basically this, but for top 5 (in response to an Eric Bach article) if you’re interested (don’t feel obligated to read this).
I think your selection would be a more balanced combination if you had more shoulder involvement, but that aligns more with my goals, which are likely a tad different from yours ![]()
- Agree with Back Squat
- Would keep Pull-Ups so long as they are done Poliquin sternum-to-bar style
- Would swap Dips for OHP or Strict Clean & Press.
Reasons are athleticism and overall number of affected muscles in the movements.
