My Favourite Weight Lifting Exercises

1. Goblet Squat

0

This seems like the most functional way to squat, where you're carrying something close to your chest (as opposed to overhead, or at your sides).

2. Bulgarian Split Squat

0

Besides pistol squats (too hard) this seems like the best way to get that single leg work in.

3. Bent over row

0

This feels like the most functional way to work out the big back muscles, besides the pull-up which is too hard to do.

4. Bench Press

0

A classic, he-man, muscle-head exercise.

5. Lateral Shoulder Fly

0

I avoid overhead lifts due to shoulder problems, so this is my go-to shoulder exercise.

6. Dead Lift

0

The main practical "lift something heavy" movement. Knowing how to do it properly means you don't get injured when lifting heavy objects.

7. Bicep Curl

0

Biceps are the quintessential show-off muscle, and this shows them off when they get pumped up.
