The most important basic exercises and their variations
If one speaks of basic exercises, spontaneously three exercises come to mind: squats, bench press and deadlift, the classic “big three” of powerlifting 다운로드. With these alone you can already cover most of the body’s muscle groups. Primary and secondary or auxiliary muscles are all being targeted and you can put together a nearly complete training system with these three exercises alone 토비의 스프링 3.1 pdf 다운로드.
However, if you only look for training your major muscle groups, these 3 exercises only cover half of your targeted muscle groups. Shoulders, hamstrings, and lats are not being optimally covered by the big three alone 다운로드. This is the reason why I like to add 2 exercises to the already stacked line-up: chin-ups (for lats and biceps) and OHP (for shoulders and triceps). Sometimes if the hamstrings are still underdeveloped and overpowered by the quadriceps you can think about adding extra hamstring work via stiff-legged deadlifts 유럽 지도 다운로드.
A complete training system can thus be designed in a minimalistic way through these classic basic exercises (Fig. 2). However, such training would sooner or later be rather monotonous due to lack of variation in the exercises 레오루. Therefore, you should occasionally replace these basic exercises with alternative exercises. Although this is not necessary for the growth stimulus, there are athletes who have been training for years with the same exercises that have proven to be particularly effective for them and with which they are still making good progress 다운로드. Nevertheless, especially for beginners the variety in training is an important part to keep the motivation and fun factor at a permanent high.
