4 of the best!

The top 4 exercises  (4^th blog post)

Just a quick log J

If someone said to me that I could only ever do 4 exercises to workout the majority of the body’s muscles, increase my strength, burn fat and look good, what would they be and why.

#1 – well my number #1 exercise would be the dead lift

Why? The dead lift is a full body workout exercise; it works all the major muscles in the body but mainly focuses on the legs and the back. This exercise is very good for increasing your strength, your grip and also a good stomach workout.

Muscles worked:

• The back (upper, lower and middle)
• Quadriceps
• Glutes (bum)
• Hamstrings
• Traps
• Neck
• Biceps
• Forearms
• Abs

#2 – Bench press

Why? Also another exercise that is good for building muscle and strength. The bench press will work your chest, anterior deltoid (front part of the shoulder muscles) and your triceps.

'#3 - Squats

Why? Good for increasing strength and muscle mass. This exercise stimulates a release of anabolic hormones such as testosterone. This is great for building muscle fast.

#4 – Clean and press

Why? This is a total body exercise, great for building muscle. This is an exercise that if you could only ever choose one would be a great choice. Just like the dead lift and squats this exercise will release a good amount of testosterone helping to build muscle fast. 

Muscles worked:

• Calves
• Hamstrings
• Glutes
• Quadriceps
• Lower and upper back
• Traps
• Shoulders
• Biceps
• Triceps
• Forearms
