How should I use this list to build a routine?
A single muscle group is rarely trained with one exercise alone — most routines pair a compound movement that hits this muscle as a primary mover with one or two isolation exercises for extra volume once the compound work is done. Use the level and equipment shown next to each entry to pick a starting point that matches what you actually have access to.
