A good question...

I was reading a few days ago on the NSCA forum a topic of the best three exercises that you could do with an athlete. There were various opinions, and in my opinion some good and some bad.

I used to ask a similar questions to interns when I was the intern coordinator at my last job in OK. I have been asking people i work with and received some great answers, but here are mine:

- clean and jerk (technically it is just one exercise)
- back squat (who didn't know this would be on here)
- kettlebell swing

These have changed at different times in my life and I'm sure they will again, well at least number 3. In my mind you get the most important aspects of athletics here, power, peak strength, posterior chain strengthening, and midline stabilization(aka to idiots as the core)
