Beginner's Guide: 6 Basic Compound Lifts, and How to do Them

[QUOTE=-Lucifer;381791691]Wow strong spoon feeding!

lol I kid. Nice thread (yet again).[/QUOTE] On the Squat and deadlift, make sure you squeeze your glutes whenever you stand upright, in order to protect your waist and lower back from injury !

Great information. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for posting this. It is very useful.

cool stuff. learn before u hit the gym or else you might get hurt easily

Great! It's helpful, thanks for your post

thanks so much for this information. I started this week with compound lifts instead of the isolation which I have been doing for a good while without a proper plan.
I feel the difference big time.

As a beginner, would you recommend me doing all these exercises in the same training session? I would think of going 3X/week and invest my time in compound lifts(and barbell curls since I love this one)

thanks again for the valuable info.

EDIT: Just read the thread "Answers to Common Questions ":
0-18 months lifting: Full-body routine done 3 times per week based around compound movements.

Very useful thanks

Thank you for these videos!

Thanks for mentioning to squeeze your thighd on squats and dealifts to protect the back. I'm coming back from a back injury and I can verify that it helps.

[QUOTE=FrazerPrescott;382781931]Didnt want to start a new thread for such a small queastion and it kinda links back to the op. I use the overhand underhand grip for deadlifts. Just wondering if you need to alternate which hand is under and which is over??[/QUOTE]

Yes, you should. That's a great way to keep both sides of your body equally strong and developed, and avoid injuries simultaniously. When you are using an under over grip, you are almost always putting more weight on the underhand, which isn't ideal. I also do an overhanded grip with both hands, every now and again. If you do sumo deadlifts, I'd say always do sumos with a double overhanded grip.

This is impressive! Thank you for sharing out your strategies. I will definitely try this soon.
