subject: Number One Exercise For Muscle Building [print this page] The number one exercise for building more muscle mass, will work just about every muscle you have in your body. From your calves and core to the forearms and traps.
You want a stronger grip, then ditch the wrist straps and lets get busy with these mass maker. You want a stronger core, ditch the belt and let's go.
This exercise will work the body in the most basic way. It is you, the bar, and the floor. The deadlift works every muscle of the posterior chain, giving you that beast look. Thicker traps, stronger hamstrings, meatier erectors. It will work the forearms like no other exercise. Even the biceps and the neck will get involved. Ever try to deadlift with a sore chest? The whole body gets involved.
You will not get a exercise that truly test ones strength. And not just the back or the legs. The total body gets tested.
You want more muslce mass then pile on the weight and perform low reps. Perform the 5x5 with the heaviest weight you can handle twice a week.
You want to burn body fat. Load the bar up and perform sets of reps in the range of 15 to 20. The whole body gets in the movement and the calories get to burning. The heart will be racing and the lungs will be sucking wind.
The deadlift works ever muscle in the body from the neck to the calves. It will change the body with more muscle mass and burn more body fat than any other exercise.
Stop wasting your time with endless exercises working bits and pieces of the body. Start using the beast maker, the deadlift, a furnace for body fat, the deadlft. A true test of total body strength. The deadlift.
The deadlift can be used with a varied set and rep scheme. You can work th edeadlift with a 5x5 or 3x3 for strength. You can perform the Gironda sets of 8x8 and 10x10 for a work out that will wear you out for days. You can perform higher reps for more of a burning body fat effect.
You can work the body in a different aspects. To work the shoulder gridle more take the grip out to the plates lips. If you want to work the grip more than take a collar to collar grip. A sumo stance would work more of the legs with a strong pull on the inner thigh. A closer stance works more of the back and the stiff leg deadlift will work the hams more. Again a total body exericse.
