* Exercise can be moved to another workout with fewer/less intense exercises in order to equalize workout durations. ^ Choose an exercise without significant erector spinae involvement (eg: avoid Barbell Row or Cable Row) for adequate recovery since exercises involving erector spinae will already be performed on other day (ie Deadlift Workout). ~ Only choose one workout in which to program exercise(s) which involve Erector Spinae as a stabilizer or synergist, allowing for adequate recovery. If choosing exercise which involve erector spinae, do not choose exercises on other workout(s) with this same marking which also involve erector spinae. See complementary pairing of exercises involving low back.

If a strict push-pull protocol is desired, Side Delts and Neck Flexors may be exercised with pull workout and Wrist Extensors may be exercised with push workout, although not necessary.If a second exercise for the same muscle group is performed considering an auxiliary exercise (italics or regular typeface exercises listed in exercise subdirectories).

Choose basic exercises when possible (ie: choose bold or regular typeface exercises listed in exercise subdirectories).Strive for 5 to 7 exercises for each workout depending upon relative size of muscles exercised in workout.Choose optional exercises sparingly in effort to keep keep workout duration to a minimum.
