One exercise per bodypart...

[Ursus]

If from now on you could only ever do 1 exercise per bodypart which would it be.

calves                             seated calve raises
quads                             and hams front squat
back                               deadlifts
chest                              flat bench
shoulders                       military barbell press
bis                                  barbell curls
tris                                 weighted dips
abs                                weighted sit ups

Chest: Incline Dumbbell
Shoulders: DB shoulder press
Bi's: Cambered Bar Curls

I'd change bi's to EZ/cambered bar and quads to squat

[JPM]

Calves.....40yard sprints
Quads....BB Hack squat
Back.......Power cleans
Lats........Chins, weighted

Standing raises would be more effective overall.

Standing raises would be more effective overall.

I dunno, i find seated raises to be better.  In terms of improving shape of calf, which is really what we all want.

I dunno, i find seated raises to be better.  In terms of improving shape of calf, which is really what we all want.

In terms of overall development, standing is superior.  When the knee is bent, the soleus is the primary muscle and the gastrocnemius is secondary (almost in a "relaxed" state).  When the knee is straight, the gastroc is primary and the soleus is secondary.

[Loomis]

Quads-Squats
Hams-lying leg curls
Calves-Stnding calf raise
Back-Deadlifts
Traps-Barbell Shrugs
Chest-Flat Barbell Bench
Shoulders-Dumbell Press
Bi's-Straight-bar curls
Tri's-Close-grip bench

[NoCalBbEr]

chest- bench press
quads- squats
hams-SLDL
calves- standing smith calf raise
biceps- bb curls
tris- close grip bench press
shoulders-militaries
traps-bb shrugs
back its deads
abs-cable crunches

In terms of overall development, standing is superior.  When the knee is bent, the soleus is the primary muscle and the gastrocnemius is secondary (almost in a "relaxed" state).  When the knee is straight, the gastroc is primary and the soleus is secondary.

oh, i know, but i find that the shape of gastroc (as we have already established on other threads) is largely genetic, but when it comes to projection of the gastroc, a developed soleus is crucial.  I feel that standing calf raises help significantly with the thickness of the calf from a side view, and i have genetically a well-shaped gastroc, so i prefer to target my soleus.

[Hedgehog]

Currently, I train squats, front squats, rotator cuff (occasionally), benchpress and deadlifts.

So I would exclude the front squats and rotator cuff excersise.

I train the three lifts from different heights, take squats for example: I squat to an adjustable bench. Deadlifts, I have about six different heights where I pull from, going all the way from deep deadlifts to near-lock out. Benchpress, I have three different board sizes to get variation.

But basically, three different excersises.
