I haven't done the following exercises in 15 years: 1. Bench 2. Squat 3. Clean 4. Dead lift I actually think it is ridiculous for non-competitive athletes to EVER do these exercises. Risk of injury simply too high. Much better: 1. Push ups 2. Body squats (kettlebell) 3. Turkish get up (kettlebell) 4. Single leg RDL (kettlebell) Oh and pilates > weight room.
