Lifting — The Basics of Exercise Selection

When you walk into a gym, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But you need to know something the most experienced lifters know - the basics are the most powerful tool you have to build a strong and athletic physique.
Stick with the basics — and master them.

✅ Focus on these movement patterns:

• Squat (barbell back squat, goblet squat, front squat)

• Hinge (deadlift variations, Romanian deadlifts)

• Push (bench press, overhead press, push-ups)

• Pull (rows, chin-ups, pull-ups)

• Carry (farmer’s carries, suitcase carries)

✅ How to Select Exercises:

• Choose movements you can progress (add weight or reps over time)

• Select variations that fit your body (good form without pain)

• Prioritize compound lifts over endless isolation work

🚫 Common Mistakes:

• 🚫 Chasing novelty over mastery

• 🚫 Randomly picking exercises without a bigger plan
