I mean so totally new that I don't know a dead lift from a squat nor which muscles or opposing muscles to work or how to work them.

What would be the best exercises to use for a newbie to cover all muscle groups?
Can you recommend two exercises for each muscle group and their opposing muscle group for doing compound and superset exercises?

This would also be a good thing to have in newbie heaven.

If it is already on the board somewhere then it would be good to have a link to it in newbie heaven.


My biggest problem as a novice is feeling like I'm not covering all the muscle groups adequately.
