The Best All Over Single Exercise

[SIMES]

Ok
So if you could only choose ONE exercise for all over development what would it be?

Lets say we can also include powerlifiting techniques like the clean and jerk into the discussion.

I'm going for Bent Leg Deadlift as a plain bodybuilding movement and the clean and jerk if we are factoring in power lifting techqnies, which we should be

squats

squats

i love squats but the dont hit the triceps at all. or the biceps or the front delts. or the pecs....


if you do a full clean and press. then you should end up coming out of a full squat and then the press hits all the pushing muscles. and the clean hits biceps and forearms.

probably cable crossovers, or hammer curls

i would choose a squat...but on the stipulation that i could do any variety of it. overhead, zercher, hack, front etc.

for a full body exercise without stipulation, clean and press...its one exercise....



just cause the name has an "and"..doesnt make it 2 exercises....does it?
