What makes an exercise "good" or "ideal" for building muscle? I try to give a complete but simple framework here!

0:00 - intro

2:36 - Why the perfect exercise doesn’t exist and why exercise variety is a good thing

7:39 - Why I won’t talk about mind muscle connection, pump,soreness, etc.

The factors:

11:05 - Movement pattern = function of the muscle

16:34 - Limiter of the exercise

19:30 - Range of motion?

20:54 - How injurious is the exercise

25:02 - Loadability aspects

31:22 - Form standardization

33:11 - Compound vs isolation

35:36 - Convenience

37:00 - Concluding remarks
