Those aren’t very classic for bodybuilding, rather they are the ones for powerlifting. Bodybuilding uses a very wide variety of movements incorporating dumbbells, barbells, and machines to train every single muscle periodically (even focusing on little tiny ones no one else would care about).

Here’s a good example of a bodybuilding training routine: https://thinksteroids.com/community/threads/first-bodybuildi...

That said, I’m also curious what GP was referring to, specifically. Was he saying like “don’t do dumbbell curls”?

IIRC they were the basis of the routines in Arnold's _Education of a Body Builder_... doesn't get any more classic than that.
I'm not sure linking to a post detailing the PEDs alongside their routine is typical of the average person who does bodybuilding style training.
PEDs seem to be the most classic bodybuilding routine.
Competitively, sure. Casually, no.
