Clean and Jerk

Exercise Rating
10/10

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

Dumbbell Shrug

Exercise Rating
9/10

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.

Palms-Down Wrist Curl Over A Bench

Exercise Rating
10/10

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

Barbell Full Squat

Exercise Rating
10/10

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.

Power Jerk

Exercise Rating
5/10

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...+See More

Elliptical Trainer

Exercise Rating
7/10

Feb 11, 2012 6:55 AM: Since I didn't have a machine I decided to do a few sets of stairs (4 stories- up and down) and then jog into place on a matte for the remaining time. I think i'll hit my bicycle on the next Cardio day- though- I certainly DO feel this!

Flat Bench Cable Flyes

Exercise Rating
6/10

Feb 10, 2012 6:18 PM: The gym I use doesn't have that kind of cable, does using dumbbells work? It seems like it would be less effective.

Barbell Deadlift

Exercise Rating
10/10

Feb 6, 2012 3:58 PM: This is THE beast of exercises. If your not really seeing the progression you want, I found doing good, heavy, deep squats on leg day (I do deadlifts on back day) compliment these well.
