If you’d like to know two of the best exercises for muscle building, then you’ll want to read every word of this important article.
If you’ve read any of my other articles, you probably know what I’m going to tell you next, about two of the best exercises that stimulate the most muscle growth…
First though, I think most beginners would do well to start with bodyweight training. Then I think you should move on to the DoubleYourGains’ beginner’s strength training program.
After you’ve been on that program for a while, like 6 months to a year, and you decide you want to put on some extra muscle mass quickly… then it could be time to start experimenting.
That’s where this article comes in…
Muscle Building Exercise #1: Deadlift
The deadlift works the most muscles out of all the muscle building exercises out there! You get good leg work, good pulling muscles work, posterior chain, arms, etc… It’s a great exercise.
You’ll hit your whole body and stimulate tons of muscle fibers for enormous growth later on. The best rep ranges for muscle building are relatively high, from 5-20 reps depending on how many sets you’re doing (and how crazy you are).
Muscle Building Exercise #2: Squat
The squat is the second exercise that works the most muscles in your body. You get amazing leg work, the torso is used to stabilize the load on your back, and your nervous system, lungs, balance, etc all get worked from this exercise.
That’s what makes it great for building muscle. Like the deadlift, if you want to see a lot of growth, the best rep ranges are relatively high- from 5-20. In fact, the 20 rep squat routine is legendary for how much muscle mass it can pack on in such a short period of time.
Important notes about muscle building.
Muscle Building comes down to making sure you’re:
- Working your whole body for the maximum stimulus
- Getting out of the gym and resting just as hard and
- Eating enough to support growth.
Of those three things, most guys have a hard time with numbers 2 and 3 when it comes to building muscle because it’s much easier to be “doing something” in the gym, than to be outside it, resting and eating enough food to support muscle growth and building.
But, this article was about number one, so those are two great exercises for muscle building.
