For me its definitely keeping it simple.
1. Pushups
2. Pullups
3. Squats
4. Preacher Curls
5. Dips.
You always want to keep the basics in your routine in my opinion.
I've only been going to the gym regularly for about a month now, so I haven't found my list of "must have" exercises. This thread has been great for seeing what folks find effective and most worthwhile!
1. Squats. Total love/hate relationship with them but when they're not part of my routine it seems to slow muscle growth in other areas down - probably because they're awesome for releasing testosterone. Split squats great to supplement with.
2. Hip thrusts. Can't do without them for a muscly, defined butt
3. Bench presses.
4. Skull crushers.
5. E-Z bar curls - nothing gets my biceps pumping more.
Reading folks lists here tells me one could have a great workout with just their 5 faves. I could think one could even narrow down to 3 for a "desert island" list and still get a great workout.

Absolutely. If you consistently pull something toward your body or pull your body toward something, squat something from the ground, and press something away from your body or press your body away from the ground, you’d be strong and fit.
