Part 2, here’s one for the lower body

Here’s everything you want to do for the chest, lats, and delts if you want to maximize their growth. If enough people like this, I’ll keep making it for other muscles.

I'm gonna disagree slightly with adductors being hit by hip hinge movements. Also I think as a beginner I fell into the misconception that a squat and a leg press are interchangeable and they definitely aren't

The adductor magnus and longus are both highly active during hip extension. The leg press and squat are also essentially the exact same in terms of benefit for the quads and glutes as long as you perform them with a similar anatomical position (obviously if your foot placement relative to your his is different it will be different, but thats not the fault of the exercise.

The adductors are active if the person is using the right form to plant their feet, which many aren't. They won't reach fatigue before the hamstrings in something like SLDLs though. I'm just arguing to keep the adductor machine as its own isolation is all!

Saying “the adductors are active if you are doing the exercise right, but a lot of people do it wrong” I just don’t think is really fair to the exercise. I don’t disagree tho, train adductors directly

That's valid, I'm just making the point because I think the type of people who gravitate towards this sort of programming content are usually beginners. On the whole I think your advice is solid and you're doing a good thing putting it out there! Have a good one 🤘
