Tip: Barbell Bench Press - Medium Grip

Feb 13, 2012 1:33 PM: Try Holding the Rep for 5 seconds at the bottom to improve strength. Or lifting legs and extending to work on abs.

Review: Clean and Jerk

Feb 12, 2012 8:15 PM: To me, this is in a 3 way tie for the best exercise, with Squats and Dead Lifts. Builds great power, blows your heart rate through the roof, and works pretty much everything but your peck's. Surprised traps' aren't on the list of things targeted. I prefer the non-split stance for the third pull,...+See More To me, this is in a 3 way tie for the best exercise, with Squats and Dead Lifts. Builds great power, blows your heart rate through the roof, and works pretty much everything but your peck's. Surprised traps' aren't on the list of things targeted. I prefer the non-split stance for the third pull, (kinda like a front squat with the bar over your head) but I'm not going to the olympics either, I guess with the split stance you have more control front to back. Remember to breath doing these, actually passed out once from doing these and poor breathing :0-See Less

Review: Dumbbell Shrug

Feb 12, 2012 7:16 AM: Perhaps better than the barbell shrug because the dumbbells allow you to hold the weight at your sides, rather than in front of your body. This allows your traps to perform the whole shrugging movement without excessive tension in the shoulders.

Tip: Seated Palm-Up Barbell Wrist Curl

Feb 12, 2012 7:13 AM: A must for anyone who wants to build forearm size. For extra burn, let the bar roll down to your finger-tips at the bottom of the motion. This forces you to curl your fingers up on the upwards movement, using the finger flexors in the forearm too. Therefore, you will build greater size and strength...+See More A must for anyone who wants to build forearm size.

Review: Palms-Down Wrist Curl Over A Bench

Feb 12, 2012 7:10 AM: This is much harder than palms-up wrist curls, beceause it targets different muscles in the forearms. Also, unlike the palms-up version, you have to use a lot of forearm strength just to grip the bar. Because of this, you'll find you can't use as much weight, but don't be put off - this is a must for...+See More This is much harder than palms-up wrist curls, beceause it targets different muscles in the forearms.

Review: Barbell Full Squat

Feb 12, 2012 7:02 AM: If you aren't squatting below parallel, you aren't squatting. Forget the cowards who say it is bad for your knees; this is the single best exercise for the quads and glutes.

Review: Power Jerk

Feb 12, 2012 7:01 AM: Unless you have a brilliant sense of balance and a good level of strength, do not try this exercise. It is only for the hardcore Olympic strength lifters.

It requires far stricter form than even the infamous squat, and can easily result in injury if done even slightly incorrectly. That being said, the Power Jerk is a must for any aspiring Olympic lifter, so if you feel you must attempt it, use a very light weight (in fact, an empty bar) for weeks until you have the correct form down. -See Less

Tip: Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise

Feb 11, 2012 5:38 AM: The single best lower abs exercise. The bench isn't necessary; you can do these just as well on the floor, as long as you don't let your legs rest on the floor at the bottom of the movement. Perform each rep slowly and keep those abs tight. If you can't reach failure in 12 reps, add some weight (dumbbell...+See More The single best lower abs exercise.
