The biggest bang-for-your-buck exercises
from The Zack Henderson Podcast · host Zack Henderson
Andy trash-talks my broken chicken leg as I measure quad girth live on the podcast. We look back on old coaching mindsets that have changed over the years before diving into today's theme. While there are thousands of exercises to choose from, all with unique benefits and costs, there are a few that Andy and I find to be “king” in terms of checking the most boxes for the most people. Now, we’re not saying all other exercises aren’t as good or cool or as worthy of attention, but if we had to choose, we choose our biggest bang-for-your-buck squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, and locomotion patterns that we use in the gym. We reason through why’s, how’s, and what’s of our selections, effectively giving you some “big rocks” to start with on your fitness journey. Enjoy!
