If you are looking to put on some heavy weight, I mean muscle of course, then you need to be doing these 3 exercise routines. Squats, bench presses, and dead lifts.
Why you ask? Because each of these exercises uses a mixture of muscles. Each of these workouts will compel your body to become larger and stronger. It might not occur overnite, but you can consistently add pounds each week. Let us take another 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 bump the bar back up. That was one repetition.
You will see that I suggested you to stop lowering the bar before you hit your chest. When you are lifting heavy weight it can cause much more damage than help if you drop the bar all of the way down to your chest. Since you are attempting to put on muscle mass, the more weight the better. There are unsettled arguments on how low to drop the bar in a bench press. However if you watch a pro body builder, they do not touch their chest with the bar.
Next is the squat. The squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains essentially the muscles of the thighs, hips and ass, quads, hamstrings, as well as reinforcing the bones, ligaments and insertion of the tendons across the lower body. Basically from your waist down is being used in this exercise. Like I announced before the compound workout will help you gain strength and muscle if you perform it correctly .
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 flex your knees, and stick your bum out to lower your self close to the ground. The lower you go the more that you will work your legs. Then you raise yourself back up. Do not lock your knees! This will slowly ruin them. Stop the lift just before you lock your knees. Keep good form, this is great lower body workout. But performing it wrongly can have harsh complication.
Last we are going to look at the dead lift. The deadlift is a resistance training exercise where a loaded barbell is lifted off the ground from a stabilised, bent over position. It's one of the three canonical powerlifting exercises, along 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 inside a 1/2 an in. of your body.
Keep lifting the bar with your legs until your body is totally 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 whole time.
