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

[sofianeking18]

i like this video

what no videos on how to do a leg press or a lat pulldown?

[MrGranite]

The barbell bench press is one of the most overrated exercises you can perform. It is not good for your shoulders. Dumbbell presses are a much better choice.

this. but good job trying to explain proper form for the exercises from just a few points. thats hard to do. oh and maybe you should address the low bar and high bar positions for squat. just to be clear to new guys.

I put together a whole other thread on squatting.

I am new to lifting, I also do not have access to a gym and have very limited equipment. I have 6# dumbbells and 20# dumbbells--is there a way to do these above exercises which would be useful for me? I need to burn fat. I'm running daily (6-8 miles) and it's just not doing the trick.

we get so many threads on here where people list their various workout programs

[davidross87]

When you are beginner please follow some precaution !!!
If you are planning to increase your physical activity or start an exercise program, you start with a sedentary activity—answering a few short questions, that is. The PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) is the gold standard in fitness safety, used by doctors, trainers and health clubs the world over. Usually comprised of 5-7 questions, it can help rule out any underlying health concerns that could worsen with exercise. Answer yes or no to the following questions.

Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?
Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee, or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?
