- Have you ever wondered what are the 20 greatest exercises of all time? In this video, I am going to put together a list of what I feel are the 20 greatest exercises of all time and why I feel so strongly about them so that way you know exactly which ones you should be including in your workout routine. Not only that, I am going to give you some tips for each exercise that will help to make sure you are getting the absolute most benefit out of them.

In this list of 20 great exercises, there are going to be some exercises that you would expect anyone to include in the top 20 as well as a few exercises that you might be surprised to be given such a high honor. You can expect that some of the bigger, compound lifts are surely going to make the list - but you might be shocked to find some smaller, more corrective exercises within the rankings as well.
I believe that some corrective exercises hold more weight in their benefits than you might have considered before watching the video. Just because they are a smaller exercise that targets smaller, more neglected muscle groups does not make them any less important. In fact, I would argue that that is what makes them so much MORE important than people give them credit for.
That being said, let’s take a look at the list and see which exercises fall into the category of greatest of all time…
First up, we have the barbell squat otherwise known as the king of all leg exercises. To make sure you are getting the most out of this leg exercise, it is important to keep a few things in mind. Make sure that you are moving the pelvis and the ribcage together as a single unit. This will prevent the dreaded squat morning and make sure that the exercise remains fluid. Secondly, try to “grip the ground” with your toes to help create a stable base through the foot. Doing so will make sure that you remove any instability from the bottom of the kinetic chain.
Next up is the barbell curl. I like to add a little extra weight to this exercise and utilize the cheat variation because I can get a great overload on the biceps as well as taking advantage of my strength in the eccentric portion of the lift. One thing I like to do with the cheat curl is to keep a staggered stance - this is actually helpful for the cheat portion of the lift because it sets ourselves up to avoid excessive lean when bringing the bar up.
The dumbbell bench press is on this list of the greatest exercises of all time and for good reason. An awesome chest based exercise that is great for overloading the pecs and adds in a slight bit more adduction than it’s barbell-based cousin. Like the barbell bench press, it is important to take advantage of the use of your legs during the press by utilizing leg drive. Some people might argue that they avoid the dumbbell version based on shoulder problems they may have, but I often give the suggestion to play around with the speed or tempo of the reps as slowing them down may actually help solve a stability problem.
No list of greatest exercises could be complete without the inclusion of pullups. My suggestion on this exercise is to stop simply trying to increase the number of reps you can do on the exercise and instead add some weight to overload the movement. The weighted pull-up is a great strength developer and muscle building exercise when included into a routine. One tip that I would give with this exercise is to instead of pulling with your biceps and forearms, use the lats. My cue for this is to put your elbows in your back pockets on each rep.
If the squat is the king of all leg exercises, then the reverse lunge has to be considered the prince. By training through a staggered stance, we are making use of functional, real world movement patterns. Not only that but the exercise maintains an important versatility as well; not only does the lunge allow you to train with either a barbell or dumbbells to match your strength capabilities, you can also alter your torso position to better target different muscle groups.
Of course, there are many more exercises on this list to help you build muscle and get stronger. Be sure to watch the whole video to get the entire list and a breakdown on each exercise.

Hi, I'm almost 74 years old and never been a workout nut. The past twenty years I have had health issues and lost a lot of strength. When covid hit I made up my mind to get in shape. I went from 247 pounds to 213 as of today. Six months ago I joined the YMCA and worked with a trainer, I now spend time on You Tube for better workouts and truly enjoy your channel. My whole upper body is weak. When I started working out I struggled to bench 20 pounds, now I can do 50 a few times ( I know thats not much) my goal is building overall strength but I'm mainly working my arms and shoulders. Thank you so much. Mike.

Post this again since this same comment got hidden after 1 day for some unknow reason
Finally found it, thanks 😊
❤
You're a god damn hero. Thank you.
GOATED
“If you don’t believe me, learn more”!!!! That made my day....💪🤙😄😄😄😄
I think he’s throwing shade to Sean Nalewaney who made a video hating on his waiter curls
@@angeltorres9924 good. I love the waiter curls. Such a great exercise if done correctly
I laughed when he said it 😂 perfect
@@angeltorres9924 I mean the waiter curls are definitely a good exercise 😂
Like the pause n the look thrown to the camera. Was loaded 🤣
These exercises are cool and all, but you being able to talk while doing weighted pull ups and hanging legs raises was the most impressive part of the video.
He's a beast
JC is SERIOUSLY strong.
This is the truth. Serious composure there.
I thought that as well...like it weren't no thing for him😊....
When you preach the exercise and do it so much that it's easy for you now
Man that's goals right there
I'm 58, and you're the "only" one I trust on the internet. Your exercises work, my shape is changing, and I'm quite happy about that.
Same here.
Both of you can trust me
yeah this guy is the real deal
I stumbled across your webcite and really enjoy your succinct descriptions of the exercises. I'm a 71 year-old physical therapist with 43 years of experience. I have been a lifetime exerciser and can still crank out a few pullups. You've inspired me to add a little weight to my pullup routine. You are a great asset to the profession and make us all look good. Keep it up.
If you don't mind, how would you program these exercises for 3 day/week sessions?
Athletic stance, hinging, placement of hands and feet, stabilizing certain muscles for certain exercises, balancing out exercises with additional correctives... It's all so great to keep hearing this repeated on these videos. Getting the hang of it can completely change the effort and intensity of the workout for the better.
Jesus loves you l and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him!
Have an amazing day ❤️❤❤❤❤
Breathing and bracing is the other fundamental new and even intermediate lifters don't master
@@Gg-ij7li shhhhh
It’s great seeing Jesse rep out that 225 squat like a warm up.
It likely is for him
@@paladindanse98 yeah he’s been for like 5 ys on this channel. He likely hit that 225 1st year.
And Jeff talk casually while benching with 95lb dumbbells
and the 375 deadlift with ease
I thought it was just me thinking that tbh - at his size, making that weight look so easy is really impressive
Jeff-from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for all of your content! I am a 25 year old woman and I have been weightlifting since the age of 14. I am also a runner, and have weightlifted on and off throughout the years. It wasn’t until I found your channel that I really started building muscle. I have been following your channel for about 5 years now and feel blessed to walk in a gym with the knowledge of exactly what I want to accomplish each day, and how. I can’t believe how much of what you share is free! Thank you!
Hi Julia, I'm female (mature) looking for some advice - may I contact you? I'm struggling to build muscle/definition
The best channel, following since 6 years. Never disappointed 💯💯
I really love watching your videos!
Since before I became a Trainer, I taught myself the proper movements determined by following the fibers. And this is hopefully good news to you, but I began doing a lot of the exercise variations that you teach, specifically focused on Time Under Tension. I wasn't really liked by many of the other Trainers because I didn't feed my clients B.S. but all of my clients got the results that they were looking for. I've sent them your videos to reinforce what I've taught them because you are very credible and I appreciate you.
💪🏼😎👍🏼
A significant percentage of AthleanX's movements are just from his experience and not supported by data; ie, they are not any better than any other tried and tested movements out there.
You'll be wasting a lot of valuable time trying to follow his every movements to "hit" all muscles when you can just do the research yourself and understand what's important and what's insignificant to you. It's surprising how much people believe any CZcams content just because someone sounds knowledgeable and has a following.
For instance, I don't recall any study that claims waiter's curls to be better for hypertrophy than any other curl. Just because you feel it doesn't mean it's better. But he gets extremely defensive whenever people call him out for bs on some of his content, insinuating that they don't know better 😒.

Thank you for going back to basics and covering the most important exercises. This is much more valuable than some crazy complicated exercises that most people won’t benefit from
Face pulls and external rotation movements have helped me work through and correct some agonising shoulder pain. But always gently gently 😁
Another top tier video Jeff and Jessy. Really just commenting help the channel, but I just wanted to add that this Athean-X l means a lot to me because of how much a role it played in my own fitness and self confidence.
I'm now lucky enough to be in a position where I am quite confident in my physical appearance and have put enough work in where I feel able to pass on what little knowledge I have to my wife.
In recent months her lifestyle, confidence, health and happiness have all improved immeasurably. It's easy to think that these are all just fitness videos, but sometimes if you are able to change lives, then that is a gift that can never be re-payed.
Thanks guys. Keep up the amazing work .
PS: sorry for being gross lol
What I love about your content is the anatomical science you put into your feedback. Learnt a lot from your worst/best vids. Keep it up 💪💪💪, you made me train much more efficient and focused , and my results are honestly incredible. Thanks for your positive influence on people and their mindset. 👊👍💪
I hadn't realized how much Jeff has had an influence on my lifting. I'm watching this stuff thinking, yes, that's what I think about while doing...XXX. Thanks Jeff for all of the guidance over the years.
Im surprised the dip didn't make the list, it's a great chest movement that also gives a good stretch. Great video Jeff!
Exactly my thoughts! Dips are known as the upper body squat. They work the chest, shoulders and triceps unbelievably well. To include an exercise like the waiter curl and exclude the dip was ridiculous.
I can only assume its because some people really struggle with their shoulders on a proper dip. If you do the other pushing moves in his 20, you'll get all the benefits of a dip anyway.
Jeff often programs it in though, so its probably his 21st exercise 🤣💪
for some of us with shoulder injuries dips can be problematic. I love the exercise and miss it but the push options he offered cause me fewer issues
I was surprised the Crossover got the nod over the dip. - Also the Dip movement has some more real world applications aka 'functionality'
Dips in my top 5!
Face Pulls with the added movement pattern of abduction (overhead arm extension) is the best exercise contribution from this channel! And the details to execute the pattern correctly are outstanding. Thank you Jeff. And I’ll even say thank you, for even everyone else using it, who hasn’t yet said thank you.
If you like the face pull so much why don’t u go marry it
I was a personal trainer 10yrs ago, got into a wreck and got lazy for years. Saw this channel, started working out in the AM.... Got back to where i was in maybe 2 months.
Got lazy again and life circumstances, ran across this channel again and was back at it immediately!
Jeff covers the fine details that makes working out fun again!
The fine details are EVERYTHING!
If you don't mind, how would you program these exercises for 3 day/week sessions?
Damn Jeff. I've been watching your videos (on and off) for easily 10 years now. I've seen people come and go but this content always stays true to standards of professionalism.
Really great list, Jeff! Thanks so much.
Thank you Jeff, you’re videos are always the best, and have helped me a lot, I will be doing all of these and incorporating them into my routine.
Great list. One of my favourites is also push ups. I know there are better options with weights, but I think it is a very complete and satisfying movement.
You can always do weighted push ups. I don't do bench presses I suspect they messed up my shoulders a bit. Weighted push ups have taken their place. Get a backpack put some plates or there is even vest for weights.
I do add quite a few of these into my workouts. I’m over 65 and would like it if maybe you could do a video on resistance training for when we get older. So easy to do the wrong things at the wrong weight at this age. Love your channel thanks
Another outstanding video full of tips and techniques! At 62 I am thoroughly enjoying and applying your sessions... Jeff Many Thanks for all the time and energy you put into this and what a transformation with Jessie!
I love your videos and the science you put along explanations. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Brazil.
Thanks Jeff!! I started cleaning up my diet and learning how to use correct form in 2017 and you have changed my life. I am now the leanest guy in my gym and you have always been my inspiration for what I want my physique to look like. It’s fun to get lean and watch all the muscles expose which is part of the fun of getting really lean. I do believe in not bulking, but in recomping by going into a slight surplus periodically which I have done successfully since 2017. For anyone looking to change their life, you have to find a motivator first. Whatever that is and then stick to a solid diet and do enough exercise to notice a difference. One mistake I made was doing keto for 2 years. I believe keto can work awesome to initially drop a lot of weight, but I should have transitioned right away to a higher carb low fat approach. It took me a few years to not fear the carbohydrates. But definitely don’t fear them. If you keep fat decently low you will have much more energy for the gym on a low fat approach. Thanks Jeff!! You are one of the only influencers I trust and I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for so many of us. You don’t BS and keep us from getting hurt too.
"I am now the leanest guy in my gym..." How have you determined that?
@@otterprods Must work out in his basement
@@otterprods I have a very small gym 😝
Great info. One exercise that I think everyone overlooks - a sprint. Not many exercises will whip you into shape than running a few 40 yards dashes.
Ok. This explains a lot of the "most effective" series which I incorporated into my life and absolutely love.
Keep up the good work!
Another great video from the master. Thank you Jeff and Jesse too.
Bulgarian Split Squats 😭
Thanks for helping us start the 2023 year strong. Not everyone has the resources to have a PT. Thanks for the free advice and showing us the science in how/why to exercise
it is important that you at least get it diagnosed by a professional so you know more likely what the problem is.
@@herculesbrofister265 Agreed. No worries here, I have had multiple PT sessions post-op shoulder surgeries and have been educated of what to and not to do. Having said that, I really do wish my younger self was more careful instead of trying to do impressive pull-up maneuvers
Hey Jeff. Love your videos, they are just so informative. I've recently been doing some research on the 5-day Upper, Lower, Push, Pull, Legs split. I was thinking on some strenght training through compound-only exercises on the Upper and Lower days and some hypertrophy work on the Push, Pull and Leg days. I'd love to see a video on that. Keep up the awesome work
Happy new year 🥳 and thanks 🙏 for all the advice I always end up putting some of your advice in my work outs and I pass it on and so on ❤
I really like this kind of video, being in the gym and showcasing all of the proper techniques with the people walking around in the background just makes it seem more realistic. Feels just like being at the gym and makes the video more relatable and engaging. Keep up the good work Jeff and Jesse!!
Wanted to say, I've followed for a little bit...but been diving into the past 3 years of videos and me being a paraplegic...of course the lower body ones don't do it for me. A true excuse to skip leg day! 😂 But I've been implementing your techniques and workouts into my own and have really enjoyed and noticed the difference...especially in the help of the hand placement, working on getting my biceps to pop more and visible without the flex. Always had that issue...with good size arms, just not relaxed arm sleeve stretched, not having to wear the shmedium. But working on it with the help of your videos! 💪🏼👊🏼
Been doing what you been teaching for a couple years now and feel it's the right way and there is nothing to go back to.
I always enjoy watching your routines, sir,you are very professional and serious about them!! Thank God for sharing the routines. Greetings 🙂🤝
Jesse's progress is undeniable and a testament to everything you say. Inspirational too. Thanks for all your content.
His form on a few of these is kinda sketchy though. The deadlift, the reverse hyper, and the pendlay row (the last one) were pretty av.
@@shankrl1 Seemed good to me. But ... ok.
@@shankrl1 His form is good and the last one aint pendlay row, check your eyes .
@@shankrl1 It wasn't a penally row (as Jeff states in the video)... hence the different form!
@@shankrl1I know you refer to the upperback rounding, that's intentional to protect the lower back and there is nothing wrong with it.
Weighted dips! Very surprised you didn’t include those considering how great of a push exercise. You have them in almost every other push/chest video.
maybe this is more geared towards beginners because dips are very difficult to do. at least for me😅
Many of thise to be found in your more or less genius PPL videos. I love your work and dedication, to be honest you are in inspiration for were I am today 👍🏻 stay healthy, stay strong
Can't wait too watch. Love your content
Dose the 20 dollar bill trick require that the bill be a 20 or will any bill work? Thanks!
When Jeff uploads a video, CZcams gains muscles!!
Hahaha Exactly!
😀😀😀😀
You're going to get a lot of likes for this comment throughout the years, but it's corny as hell.
Gains Begins
Perfect timing for this workout!
Oi, this guy is helping me get shredded. Almost there Jeff!😊
P.S. do your self a favor, I think it is in your best interest guys to buy his programs it’s worth it and you get to keep them for life. Peace ☮️ ✌️
For me, the pull-up is the exercise that feels the best after I've done it. Its a beautiful exercise, it never really becomes light or easy.
You think you will ever be in situation in your life where you need to pull yourself up? Like.. are u a rock collector who might one day find himself hanging on the side of a mountain? With no one around to help.. pulls himself up?
@@floofsale maybe not. In that regard walking, running and swimming might be the smartest things to work on. Most upper body exercises are aesthetic first I believe, unless you want to be a powerlifter. Leg and core work can be more useful in everyday life but I cannot remember the last time life outside of the gym required me to use my biceps to the fullest extent for example!
@@floofsale Really? I have pulled myself into my window after forgetting my key several times. And onto my roof to get the frisbee for my kids. More importantly it helps with pulling stuff down as well.
@@floofsale Building a house/deck, climbing a fence, in a tree, fall off a boat, all kinds of things. If you cant pull yourself up even ONCE if your life depends on it, thats just negligent/dangerous.
Thanks Jeff these are in my top lifts as well, but I combine the deadlift row and high pull row into a snatch or hang snatch. Then for my #20 is the 3 chair dip or cable tricep kick back
Thank Jeff for all the work you put in! 👍🏽👊🏽
Knowing how incredible it is to watch Jeff depict and voice his concern about adequately utilizing the muscle groups that you're targeting makes me astonished.
1. Face Pulls
2. Pulling to the Face
3. Cable pulls (towards the face)
4. Inverted Cable Row (pulling to your face)
5. Rear delt rope flys
One thing I always admired about athlean is he’s a natural body builder and didn’t take any roids. His physic is what you get as a normal human who works hard and eats right. At least he’s not like 99% of the other dudes that say “follow my program, eat like me and you’ll get my results”. All those clowns forget to mention the special ingredient, roids!! I’ve fell victim to these scandals. I’ve believed in my idols and followed their plans, not getting same results. If only they’d tell you they also take roids. I know it’s taboo, but also if you’re selling packages to look like me, stop false advertising , and let people also know that if they really want those results they “need” to take roids. All the professionals are juiced. I didn’t know that before. And I’m not talking just about Olympian’s. All those pros are juicing . Some sort of something, even hgh as example. It’s just gross how they’ll sell programs and never tell people the real reason behind their results.
Jeff has more subcribers than the population of about 15 european countries,
some of them below:
Greece 10,423,054
Portugal 10,196,709
Belarus 9,449,323
Serbia 8,737,371
Bulgaria 6,948,445
Moldova 4,033,963
Albania 2,877,797
Macedonia 2,083,374
Malta 441,543
And frankly, I would rather have Jeff's body than be a roided up monster. Health is the primary concern, being cut is nice, but looking like you have diverse interests in life is also desireable. If the goal is sexual attractiveness, there's no end of studies that show women aren't looking for a Michelin Man-type body.
@@aquamarine99911 Most women are looking for the dad bod (or what THEY actually mean when they say it, basically muscular build with a bit of a beer belly) Jeffs build is more attractive but most women dont want to compete with their man, having a man like Jeff puts pressure on the woman to also workout and produce similar results.
@@antediluviangocart good, I don’t want her thinking a fit and healthy life is a one way street.
He’s a PHYSICAL THERAPIST. #1 on his resume. #2 Athlete # 3 Bodybuilder, I think sometimes too much. But I guess that’s what you need to represent yourself as to have a successful channel. Bodybuilder? I like his athletic and exercise correction contributions….
My most favourite of past videos is the TVA crunch ..... it has sharpened my look tremendously and YOU taught it! It can be done while getting out of your vehicle, while shopping for groceries ... any where any time, not just in the bedroom or your living room.
I love all the exercise you have displayed today. Like the way you explain it on how to do the proper movements.
Bodyweight lover here so:
Push-ups
Pull-ups
Pistol squat
Hanging row
Inverted deadlift (my weight varies between 240 and 290)
Handstand
The rest varies on need (handstand is nott specifically necessary, I just like being upside down).
Edit:
One of the animal flow/whatever its called/quadruped movements. Do a shoulder-to-shoulder pushing variant with a buddy for extra fun and a good wrestling style warm-up
Also cartwheels.
@@andrewmoonbeam321 never managed those :(
A lot of tall guys have trouble finding pull up bars high enough to follow your advice on the pull up. We have to bend our legs back to not have them hit the floor.
Sometimes if you lean back a bit and depress the shoulder plus a little bit of hip flexion too in the bottom can help too straighten the knees fully(depends on the situation
6’5’’ here, I cross my lower legs by putting my ankles on top of each other, use my knees to squeeze the weight plate, tighten my core and go lift!
You can still engage the hollow body position without pointing your toes you just have to practice. One cue that can help dial it in is to use a band hanging from the bar and place it under the knee and push down against the resistance of the band. Forces the body into line in a similar way and then once you get used to it you can remove the band and start overloading again
As always, great to see your vids 🙂
Great video! I love the variety of exercises you covered.
Greatest coach of all time! (Change my mind) 💪🏼
Hi, I’m new to your videos, and already after a few days (4) I have made a visual difference, really enjoy watching and the in depth knowledge is refreshing and helpful.
Thank you from Scotland.
Useful. Will give quite the variation to my routine.
I've never seen you do a video in a different gym, the other people are throwing me off!😁
Great stuff. Thanks!
My top 5 in no particular order are:
1. RDLs
2. Curls (EZ bar)
3. Pull ups/Weight pull ups
4. Bench Press
5. Seated Calf Raises (mainly cause my calves suck so I love trying to grow them 😂)

@John Smith Says the guy who has the same name as thousands of other people.
@@johnsmith1474 Idk what do you think John do I matter or dont I??? If you saw me dying right in front of you would you save me John or would you leave me to die cause I dont matter? Up to you John.
@@Turnpost2552 Not sure what Johns problem is 🤷🏽♂️
You are the god of teaching. It isn’t possible to miss something when you are teaching.
I got no idea why, but the waiter curls hit on a whole other level. Best pump I’ve ever had in my long heads 💪
I takes out the forearms biceps working hard (Y)
First time I have ever seen them, will try them tomorrow
I’d argue a walking lunge is just as good if not better than the reverse lunge.. you get the same staggered step work but with a more ballistic aspect of the lift. But what the hell do I know lol you’re clearly more successful a trainer than I am 😅
Reverse lunges make less impact on thee knee caps. But if you have good knees and balance, the walking variation is certainly more athletic i think
Both are good and have different purposes
Great video as usual!
Great video Jeff, as always it was full if information. Love your work. Thanks
Great video! Thank you

I like your list. I would position rock climbing 3 spots higher.
My ritual now is playing Jeff’s vids as I exercise. Best motivator Thank you!!!
Awesome video, insane amount of useful info. I will have to revise it later a few more times.
Jeff, Just a great review of essential exercises and how to get the most from them. Your gym offers a much more focused classroom for your instructions to I hope to see more video from there.
You are truly an inspiration! Great job on the detailed explanations, really appreciate it.
Amazing! Thank you for the info! 💪
key takeways from me from all the exercises:
1) Leg squat : the clawing/gripping the floor like tiger's claws as you sqaut down (that was a new trick)
2) Dumbbell waiter's curl ( never saw that done that way)
3) Lying flat tri-ceps extension (a variation of the skull crusher). If I don't see the bar til the end by extending out then I'm doing it correctly)
Great tips Jeff!
Loved it. Wonderful list of moves I guess I am already doing most of them but the tips are really useful for improving form and thus results
Love the little details that really make all the difference!
I just love how Jeff explains and Jessie demonstrates all of these great lifts. As an older lady I just love lifting and Jeff is my favorite to watch. His videos don't have to just be for you men, us ladies love to lift and lift properly.... I feel Jeff hits the core muscle groups better then anyone I've found online
You have the same muscle groups we do so it makes sense.
Motivated, im back on the grind. Thank you Athlean-x for showing me the way. I am back on the path brother. Gotta get my body right, cardio right, learn to box. All of it.
Hey man just wanted to say ty for all ur videos I started about 2 years ago I'm 31 I'm 6foot2 or 6-1 just started at 125 130 lbs I'm currently 160 I've had massive strength gain and great mental health gain one my biggest problems was my back posture it has improved so much the gym has became my favorite part of my day I go everyday after work I still see myself as being to thin but I wouldn't say I'm skinny anymore I forsake have gained muscle and mass and am becoming more comfortable with myself when ever I'm feeling my gains are not their I look back to a old picture from before I started and it gets me back on focus that this is a long term journey not a sprint
Fantastic. Love your courses!
This is my fav athleanx video by much. Thanks guys.
Great list of exercises! Thanks!
Thank you for this video and your dedication
Ace video. Would be great to see more list videos. Always really handy and can be watched multiple times.
Love them all Jeff & Jesse… thanks guys 61 & still rockin 🦾🦾
Every video I watch from athlean x has something useful in it. Nice one keep it up dude 👍
Really great video. Thanks for all your help mate.
Great stuff. i did your inferno max size twice in the past, that was really gruesome but set me on the right track.
I used this video and the best to worst exercises videos to create my own upper/lower 4 day routine (i also do Muay ). Iv'e progressed immensely in 6 months, specially in the compounds, like the DL, Front Squat, bench press and Shoulder press. But the game changer for me was the weighted pullups. what a fantastic exercise, noticed more core, grip, shoulder and back strength that allowed me to evolve on other lifts, specially the Deadlift and the Rows. Dead Rows however hurt my back so i reverted to the pronated and supinated BB Row. In the video it's easy to see how Jesse is sometimes hurting is back with some round posture on the dead Row. that happens to me when i try to do more weight. Keep up the good work and creating phenomenal content,
Hi Jeff, could you make a do's and don't exercise video for people with retroverted hips? I found out late that I have retroverted hips, and it is the main cause for many muscle imbalances that I have. For instance any kind of squat is extremely difficult for me to do, however I was a decent dead lifter. You are one of the only sources I trust due to your prowess is physical therapy, and your vast knowledge of how the body moves.
A series of complete and excellent exercises, so nice, thanks !
Many of these are on your "100" program, which I've been doing for several weeks now. I love it.
Thanks Jeff n Jessie , my backs killing it , all thanks to you , much appreciated
Great list and spot on commentary.
I am simple man, here is list of top 5 what I do weekly:
1. Weighted pullups; all grips (this one is no-brainer, no abs workout ever needed to supplement, best lats excercise bar none, among the best for biceps, minimal chances to injure with even 1rm sessions)
2. Weighted dips on gymnastic rings (this is pure torture the heavier you go, at close to my bodyweight added it is certainly a bit dangerous and you will have to work your way there. My triceps and pecks exploded in size and strength after this - also the core and shoulder stabilization required is no joke)
3. Kettlebell snatch; clean & press (almost full body workout and perfect for warming up, works the shoulder in an unique way, great for grip and forearm strength). Kettlebell is King of weights.
4. Deadlift (no comments needed, GOAT)
5. Standing barbell press (for when the kettlebell press becomes a grind, also can be loaded more heavy)
*When I get my barbell rack ready, the 5. place will likely go to
Awesome video. Thanks!
Killing it on GMA Jeff! Thanks for repping PT!
love this series thanks
Nice, for someone with back ache spreading the feet forward is an excellent tip. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Thanks
