The BIG Three workouts
-
1. Deadlifts
2. Squats
3. Bench
These three movements are given this term mainly because they work several muscle groups at once, and for overall strength and mass gains, they are unparalleled.
However, quite a number of people do not like to do num 1 and 2. Reason:
(1) is very hard
(2) looks ugly while doing it
My question is, does it matter that much if it leaves you better overall?
Another fear that a lot of people face while doing it: they see others doing heavier, and they paiseh to do. Always remember. Everyone started out doing little, no one is a born superman. Start out with a goal in mind, and aim to reach that goal eventually.
Ganbatte everyone! -

Which is why I'm trying hard to increase bench
Hard to improve when I only gym on weekends... -
No time for gym on weekdays? I envy our American counterpart, those with a basement at least. Can make their own personal gym. Nothing beats just standing there half naked admiring your pump.Originally posted by eagle:Same here
