I'm impressed. You're truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. I'm saving this for future use.

Hi
A quick query, are these workouts that my gf can do to lose weight? The big compound moves done as a circuit? She's new to weights as well.

Thanks

[iNoScopedRFK]

Great thread! Thank you!

[yjama22]

All these are in my routine..Good job man I use to be one of those guys who were so focused on abs and biceps..compound movements is where the size is

[Chalky50]

This is as clear and comprehensive on the basics as it can get. Thanks for the videos to demo these lifts.

Can't help but ask. You're videos are a big help, VoxEx. Why was the bent-over barbell row video removed? Thanks for sharing all this info and threads.

[paopaonine]

Sometimes, YouTube users remove their videos. Since I can no longer edit the first post, I cannot link to a different video instead.

Once in awhile I'll ask a Moderator to change the original post. However, it's not really a big deal since it's easy enough for anyone to search for a proper video, or go to EXRX.net.

Nice info share. I really appreciate the links given.
I just want to share, that I noticed that proper execution and posture is really a key factor in doing these exercises.

once again, thank you again for the thread.

usable info

[funckygarcon]

very nice information here, now i know what are the 6 principal compound movements. but if u were to split them in a 2 days schedule:- A B
alternating A and B then A again. what would u put on day one, and what on day 2?

[zarko123]

some of the excercises make you stronger but other rigid...!

What are you talking about?

[disizdanny]

could someone tell me if it's ok to do abs everyday?

[Project53]

I think i've plateaued on most of my exercises..should i start doing just compound movements instead of isolation exercises now?

[AtaiaYoga1]

Thanks for it....

[GetBuff920]

All of those exercises you listed are great. They worked for me!

They're effective for men and women. My gf's physique also changed when she started strength training and doing those exercises.

[GetBuff920]

Nice guide! Good form is essential.

Agreed! Quality over Quantity!

[Thai_Clinch]

Not a fan of over/under grips when it comes to deadlifts. Too much strain on the bicep tendons. Then again im biased since I tore my bicep deadlifting this way.

[luminism]

Great info, thank you! Looking forward to trying dead lifts and squats.

[Stedge21]

For squats, I understand that the knees and toes should be facing the same direction; however, my knees are angled a bit inward. That is to say that my knees are facing straight forward when my feet are pointed about 30 degrees outward. Any suggestions?

[Blitzner]

I recently fractured my back and am unable to squat anymore... What exercise would you recommend that i substitute into my workouts for squats?

[Kingjames973]

Cause we just call it the "Press" You could leg press, but that's gay.. So we just call it the "press " lol

haha why?
