LOL!

Squat (works legs and whole body indirectly)

Incline Bench (with DBs or BB - hits shoulders, pecs, & triceps)

T-Bar Row (you can adjust stance/grip to hit different areas of the back, this is also a biceps exercise)

Clean & Press (manages to hit the back & traps in addition to being a heavy shoulder exercise)

Deadlift (another back/whole body)

I would almost put a biceps or calf exercise in place of deads, as I think that if you do heavy squats, you will build your legs and back anyway. However, my calves genetics are wonderful and biceps would get hit heavily indirectly anyway so I'll go with the popular response and stick with the deads.

 

[2Thicken]

1. leg extensions
2. cable flyes
3. cable curls
4. cable press-downs
5. cable laterals

i feel that these exercises are essential for building strength and size.
