The Best Weight Lifting Exercises
All weight lifting routines must contain certain exercises in order to provide good results. There is a hierarchy of effectiveness when it comes to weight lifting exercises. And to obtain the best results, the most effective exercises must be included in all workout routines. Every muscle group has its own exercises that work out that muscle the best. So if you want to get the best results possible, no matter what your weight lifting goals are, all weight lifting routines you use must contain these exercises.
The most important body part in the body is the legs. The legs bring stability, balance and strength to the entire body. When it comes to weight lifting, the same holds true. In fact, if you have weak legs, it’s hard to achieve overall muscular strength because of the importance it has to the rest of the body. There are many exercises that work out the legs effectively because there are many muscles in the legs. But these exercises are the best of the best: squats, leg curls, lunges, and calf raises. If you include these exercises in all you workout routines, you can expect to see stronger legs.
Another important muscle in the body is the back. The back brings stability to the upper body as well. But more important, it provides the upper body with a lot of additional strength. For some reason, the back isn’t given the respect it deserves by weightlifters, probably because it isn’t a muscle that grows very big or fast. However, this shouldn’t impact how hard you should workout this body part. If you want a strong back, include these exercises in your weight lifting routines: weighted pull-ups, standing barbell rows, and deadlifts. With these exercises included in all your workout routines, your back will grow stronger than it has ever been.
The most important upper body muscle is probably the chest. Because of it’s size and position on the body, it’s a muscle that provides the upper body with most of it’s strength. Also, it’s a muscle that weightlifters define themselves on. If it’s big and strong, weightlifters think that they are strong. If it’s small and weak, weightlifters think they are weak. However, the importance of the muscle goes much further than personal thoughts and appearances. A strong chest can be obtained if you include these exercises in your workout routines: bench press, incline press, dumbbell flyes, and decline press. All weight lifting routines must include these exercises for the chest, otherwise results won’t happen.
A final muscle group that many weightlifters love to target is the arms. The arms consist of three parts: the biceps, triceps and shoulders. This is most weightlifters favorite muscle because in most of their minds, big arms mean strength. Although this isn’t necessarily true, it seems to affect most weightlifters as they put more time and effort on such a small part of the body. However, the arms are a crucial muscle because they partake in almost every exercise weightlifters do. For strong arms, include these exercises in all your weight lifting routines: barbell curls, hammer curls, weighted dips, tricep pushdowns, overhead press, and shrugs. As long as you put in good and equal effort to each of these exercises and include them in all your workout routines, expect to see good results fast.
Weightlifters must understand that achieving their goals means performing the correct exercises to effectively workout their muscles. That’s why all their workout routines must contain the most effective exercises for each muscle group otherwise success cannot be expected. Whether you are exercising your chest or your legs, there are certain lifts that must be done over others because of how well they target that particular muscle. If you want to achieve your goals, make sure all your weight lifting routines include those exercises.
As a personal trainer for the past 14 years, I’ve learned everything there is to know about weight lifting. Most weightlifters are amateurs as they make mistakes that prevent them from achieving their true muscular strength potential. The most common mistake is weightlifters not using the most effective exercises that strengthen their muscles the best. Find out what are the best exercises available at weight lifting routines.

Abdominal Exercises – What You Need to Know
Abdominal exercises are one of the most talk about topics in the fitness industry. Many times at the gym, I hear people ask about what the best ab workout is. The market is flooded with ab machines or gadgets as everyone seeks to have ripped or six pack abs.
Unbeknownst to many people, most of the abdominal exercises found on the internet, in magazines, fitness books, etc are not the best way to achieve six pack abs. Most people already have some decent abs hidden by excess stomach fat. The key to having visible six pack abs is to lose excess belly fat that is covering them up.
You should not focus on abdominal exercises unless you have low body fat. Instead, you should concentrate on losing body fat through a combination of high intensity and full body workout. Exercises that work large muscle groups of the chest, back and legs are the most effective for losing belly fat. Performing these multi-joint exercises in high intensity super-set, tri-set or circuit fashion maximizes your metabolism and accelerates fat burning.
What is another common mistake that most people make when performing abdominal specific exercises? They do hundreds of crunches, sit ups and other useless ab exercises that provide the little resistance to work against. If you can do more than 20-25 reps of any ab exercises, it means those exercises do not give enough resistance to the abs and so, don’t waste your time! Abdominal exercises that can only be performed in the 6-15 rep range per set provide sufficient resistance for developing visible abs.
Generally, higher resistance abdominal exercises that provide a much larger stimulus to the abs come in the form of workouts that involve raising or curling the legs and pelvis either upward or inward closer to the trunk. These exercises include hanging leg raises or knee raises using a “pelvic curl up” and lying hip thrusts. It is not surprising that the same people can do 50 or 100 crunches but can’t even complete more than 2 or 3 properly executed hanging leg raises.
In summary, here are 2 points to bear in mind:
1. If you want ripped or six pack abs, you must lose the excess belly fat FIRST.
2. When it comes to abdominal specific exercises, always choose higher resistance exercises that involve curling or raising the legs and pelvis upward or inward as these are most effective for developing the abs.

Circuit Training Bodyweight Exercises
www.LeeHayward.com In this video Im going to go over a total body workout routine that you can do using just bodyweight exercises. The first exercise is the basic push up. Push ups are great for building up the chest, shoulders, and triceps. They also bring the muscles throughout the mid-section and core into play as stabilizers to keep your body straight. Here in the video both my self and my better half Patricia are doing the workout set for set. Youll notice that here on the video we are doing the push ups with our hands placed on an exercise matt. This tends to make the exercise more comfortable then if you did them with your hands placed on the hard floor. You can vary your hand spacing and positions with each set to work the muscles from different angles. Wider hand spacing tends to place more stress on the chest. And a closer hand spacing tends to focus more on working the triceps. Were doing our bodyweight workout in a circuit routine fashion. Moving quickly from one exercise to the next. Only resting long enough for the other person to complete their set. Here Im doing bodyweight squats. This is a great exercise that works the entire lower body from the quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, and glutes. When doing squats youll make the exercise a lot harder and get more benefit if you use a full range of motion and squat all the way down. Here you can see Patricia doing bodyweight squats from a side angle. Youll notice that her upper thighs go down part parallel with the …
