Shanel0916

Recently I've seen a lot people stating that this is the best way to lift if you're trying to lose fat can someone give me a list or some examples of these exercises or even perhaps an ideal workout regimen for compound lifts? thanks you in advance, all helpful responses are appreciated! :flowerforyou:

routines: strong lifts, new rules of lifting for women, starting strength by mark rippetoe or olympic lifts

these are basically movements that work multiple muscle groups at once. examples are squats, snatches, pull ups, bench presses, deadlifts, overhead presses, pendlay rows, cleans

so for instance barbell squats work your quads, glutes, hams, hips as well as your core, upper back and shoulders

Troublemonster

Squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press.


If you look into stronglifts, or wendler 5/3/1, or madcow you'll have a great start on routines based on these exercises.

I've been doing windler's 5/3/1 for the last 5 months I think it is great

i like 5/3/1 myself. check out strstd.com, which can help you figure out the amount you should lift, and your supplement work.
