If you are looking to put on some major weight, I mean muscle of course, then you have to be doing these three exercise routines. Squats, bench presses, and dead lifts.
Why you ask? Because each of these exercises uses a mixture of muscles. Each one of these workouts will compel your body to become larger and stronger. It might not happen overnight, but you can solidly add pounds every week. Let's take a more in-depth look into each exercise.
The bench press is a shoulders and chest workout. It works out over seven 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 broader than shoulder width apart, lowering the weights until your elbows sink below your body on the bench, then squeezing your chest to bump the bar back up. That was one repetition.
You'll observe that I suggested you to stop lowering the bar before you hit your chest. When you're lifting heavy weight it can do more damage than help if you drop the bar all the way down to your chest. Since you are trying to put on muscle mass, the more weight the better. There are upset debates on how low to drop the bar during 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 primarily the muscles of the quads, hips and bum, quads, hamstrings, as well as strengthening the bones, ligaments and inserting of the tendons across the lower body. Basically 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 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 buttocks out to lower your self close 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 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 is one of the 3 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 sure to hold that bar as close to your shins as you can . All of the way up the bar should be inside a half of an inch of your body.
Keep lifting the bar with your legs till 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 entire time.
