Our bodies are made up of dozens of muscles, big and small. Therefore, we need to do various exercises that best target individual muscles or muscle groups.

Before the internet, gym advice was passed down from gym bro to gym bro.

And this is still often the case — even though the internet now gives us all access to scientific information about best practices for dieting and exercise science, a lot of bad training advice is still passed down.

Many of us perform exercises in the gym that are inferior to alternatives and even put us at risk of injury.
