The amazing Yahooey could have included forearms and separated upper and lower pectorals and put in spinal erectors, rhomboids etc. but he decided to just go for the main muscles that people know about and have experience with.

The accomodating Yahooey will edit in something for forearms, just to be nice.

Generally good advice, although I'd include skullcrushers for triceps and wrist curls for forearms.

The brilliant Yahooey would suggest that if you feel skullcrushers are a better exercise than any of the triceps ones I listed, make your own list! That's what this thread is for, so people can share their opinions of what constitute the best exercises for each body part.

Same with wrist curls, if you think brutal rep exercises are better for forearms than vicelike grip exercises, list them! It's all good baby!
