If you are looking to put on some major weight, I mean muscle naturally, then you must be doing these three workouts. Squats, bench presses, and dead lifts.
Why you ask? Because each one of these exercises uses a combination of muscles. Each of these exercise programmes will compel your body to become bigger and stronger. It might not occur overnight, but you can consistently add pounds each week. Let us take a more in-depth look into each exercise.
The bench press is a shoulders and chest workout. It works out over 7 different muscles with just the one lift. Including, your shoulders, triceps, and your chest. The bench press is preformed by grabbing the bar a little wider than shoulder width apart, bringing down the weights till your elbows sink below your body on the bench, then squeezing your chest to push the bar back up. That was one repetition.
You will notice that I suggested you to stop bringing down the bar before you hit your chest. When you are lifting heavy weight it can do more damage than help if you drop the bar all of the way down to your chest. Since you are endeavoring to gain muscle mass, the more weight the better. There are upset arguments on how low to drop the bar in a bench press. However if you watch a professional muscle builder, they do not touch their chest with the bar.
Next is the squat. The squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains primarily the muscles of the thighs, hips and bum, quads, hamstrings, as well as bolstering the bones, ligaments and insertion of the tendons throughout the lower body. Fundamentally from your waist down is being used during this exercise. Like I revealed before the compound workout will help you gain strength and muscle if you perform it in the right way.
This exercise is preformed by holding a bar on the back of your neck. Hands about shoulder width apart. While keeping your back straight you will wish to bend your knees, and stick your bum out to lower your self near to the ground. The lower you go the more you will work your legs. Then you raise yourself back up. Don't lock your knees! This may slowly ruin them. Stop the lift just before you lock your knees. Keep good form, this is great lower body workout. But performing it incorrectly can have harsh complication.
Last we will look at the dead lift. The deadlift is a weight training exercise where a loaded barbell is lifted off the ground from a stabilized, bent over position. It is one of the three canonical powerlifting exercises, together with the squat and bench press.
To perform one of those lifts, grab your barbell with an overhand-underhand grip about shoulder width apart. Keeping your back straight, lift with your legs. Be certain to hold that bar as near to your shins as you are able to. All the way up the bar should be within a 1/2 an in. of your body.
Keep lifting the bar with your legs until your body is completely vertical. Then hold the position for a second, and reverse on the way down. You don't lift this weight with your arms. Your arms will stay straight the entire time.
