The three Core Muscle Building Exercises You ought to be Doing

By Tom Maybehers


When it comes down to building up muscle I love to keep things straightforward. Theses fancy exercises and products use long "scientific like" words and reasons to show you they work to build the most muscle.

In this post I'm going to get back to basics. I am going to show your 3 muscle building exercises you cannot afford not to do and why you should be doing them.

These three exercises are the grass roots of skyrocketing muscle and are needed for any heavy training routine. You might find it hard to believe, but with these three exercises alone you can pack on a great amount of muscle. I refer to these exercises as the "core" to any good program. 3 core muscle building exercises : Squat The squat is the most significant exercise for packing on serious poundage. There is not any debate about it. The squat is essentially a leg building exercise. You start the exercise with a barbell resting across your shoulders standing straight up. Then bending at the knees and hips you lower the barbell down until your higher legs are just about parallel to the floor.

Secondary muscle collections include the lumbar area, adductors and to a specific amount your shoulder muscles. As can obviously be seen many muscle groupings are inducted for this exercise making it the biggest exercise and biggest potential muscle builder. Like all the core muscle building exercises, you have to make the squat the first exercise you do on your leg coaching day. Because it is the biggest exercise you want your legs to be fresh and prepared. If muscle building is your goal, shoot at about 8-12 reps on the squat.

Squatting is deeply nerve-wrangling for the lower body, particularly the knees, so 5-10 minutes on the treadmill and some lights squats first up are suggested. Bench Press The bench pres is the king of shoulders and chest building exercises. For years the bench press has been employed to figure out a lifter's strength. The bench is an easy yet amazingly robust exercise that targets the entire chest ( pectorals ), front shoulders ( deltoids ) and triceps. To perform a bench press you want to lie on your back on a flat bench, grip the barbell at a little broader than shoulder grip and press the bar straight down to your chest. The bench press is the biggest chest and shoulders builder as it permits you to move the most weight achievable. This is its edge over the dumbbell press.

With some help from a spotter you will also push yourself to lift heavier weights. There also are other advanced bench press techniques like board presses, bench press negatives and chain presses. See our link at the bottom for more details. Wide grip Jaw Up If you were only planning to do one exercise to work your back this would be it. The wide grip jaw up is the final test of a lifters power to weight proportion. This muscle building exercising is intensely demanding on the body. The wide grip jaw up basically hits the lats, but also targets the entire higher back, biceps and forearms. To execute this exercise you would like a chin-up bar or helped jaw up machine. Hold the bar in a wide grip ( bigger than shoulder width ) with your palms facing away from your body. Start in a "hanging" position with your arms fully extended. Pull yourself up until your can get your jaw over the bar and back to beginning position. Most people will struggle to do wide grip jaw ups without some lat / back coaching first. You can use the assisted jaw up machine or lat pull down machine to buttress your lats before attempting wide grip jaw ups. This is the most difficult back exercise you can do so it has to be the initial exercise in your session.

When you should be doing these exercises Like I discussed previously in this post, these exercises are the most vital muscle builders and also, the most taxing on your body so they have got to be done at the beginning of your workout to get the maximum benefits. I would like to suggest that you do up to five sets on each exercise and alter how you perform these sets each week. As an example, the first week you do pyramid up sets, the second week you pyramid down and the 3rd week you do straight sets. Good luck packing on some major pounds.
