Just for fun

For me it would be:

1) Pullups / Chins

2) Dips

3) Squats

...or is that cheating?

[rouge59]

Brisk walking.

Sex.

Press ups.


That's been my mantra for decades & its served me well.

[Art0ir]

Deadlift
Squat
Incline BP

Plenty of very, very big dudes do little else.

[gareth h]

I couldn't find a decent local gym and put up a chin / dip bar in the workshop
Chins / dips / pistol squats served me well

[LordGrover]

Deadlift, squat, dips.

I think Didely-del's triple would also work well for me but my chest needs work at the moment.

Just goes to show, three ain't enough.

[didelydoo]

Three isn't enough. And Chins/Pull ups can't count as 1 surely!

Otherwise I'd pick a bear complex as one (clean/front squat/pushpress/backsquat/pushpress)

[TheJimi]

I know three ain't enough but that's what makes the question fun - in a sort of desert island books way

Good to see a few of you choosing dips over bench - a superior movement, imo

[C0ffin D0dger]

1) Sitting down
2) Sleeping
3) Driving

These are exercises right

[chris watton]

Squats
Deadlifts
Bench Press

..but I'd cheat and add two or three more...

If you can sit without a chair that would count.

Sleep in the plank position?

Flintstone your way around?

[ewenm]

Hill reps
Steady mileage
Tempo runs

[ambuletz]

Squats
Deadlift
Overhead press. < I would pick bench press but from what I've been reading over the past night, OHP is generally better to do?
