Exercises needed to build an even physique with limited chance of injury

To achieve a well rounded physique with no muscle imbalances that lets face it look weird. A physique which is healthy and with low risk of injury, then you will need for every pull activity you will need a push motion too. This is for each body part. so you will need for a whole body program:

A vertical push and a vertical pull
horizontal push and a horizontal pull
quad dominant and hip dominant
These exercises could be:

vertical push: shoulder press, military press, barbell press
vertical pull: pull up, chin up
horizontal push: bench press, incline bench, db press, decline press, flyes
horizontal pull: bent over row, seated row
quad dominant: Squats
hip dominant: dead lifts.
So in my opinion the 7 best exercises for muscle building for the whole body are:

Squats
Dead lifts
Bench press (preferably incline if you aim to bring out the chest)
pull ups
dips
clean and press
bent over barbell row (underhand grip)
I hope this helps you all when forming your gym routines.
