Title: The simplest worthwhile exercises for strength
Post by: IroNat on September 11, 2025, 07:45:59 AM

*File under "No Shit"*:

For strength (not power, not bodybuilding).
Base your program around these.
In fact just do these if you want to get strong.

Squat
Bench press
Overhead press
Deadlift
Carries
