Only had 6 to choose overhead press was a debate for my list.. but yes should be on anyones . 6. Really is not a lot but floor work using just body weight can do a lot depending on your goals but it should be a basic for anyone.

Jogging/cardio for anyone who even cares about their cardiovascular health

Cable Row
Goodmornings
Cable Pressdown
Dumbbell Bench Press
Dumbbell Curl
Military Press


Chins really wanted to be in there. I'd rather have power than vanity. Can't have no twink arms—or twink calves; but a twink lower back is a just end your life. You can accentuate the calves with Goodmornings by going super slow. Very strict continuous tension isotension. Cable row blasts the forearms.

I can just cycle for legs

You may be right - I will in that case replace the dip with bent over barbell row. I will also replace the pull up with something less physically demanding since I'd like to have all of my options when I'm 50 God bless. Bicep curls for the guns

How bout now?

Just don't get fat like me and you can do pull-ups way past 50 bruh. One of the inspectors I work with is a runner and doesn't really lift, but he has a pullup bar hanging off a tree in his backyard that he uses all the time at ~65 years old.

But on second thought it might be better to change the pull/chinups to fat man rows. Depending on the angle you do them you can hit back width or thickness with the same basic movement, and you can always add weight to make them harder if need be.
