The Lifting Fundamentals
The Big 5: the squat, deadlift, benchpress, row and overhead press. These exercises are the most important tools in your arsenal: perform them well, and you’ll make serious gains.
But these are big lifts—if you don’t perform them correctly, you risk losing out on gains and even injury. That’s why I created the Lifting Fundamentals series. Learn how to execute the big 5 lifts perfectly.
Lifting Fundamentals 1: The Squat
Learning how to back squat effectively will help you lay a good foundation of strength and size.
Lifting Fundamentals 2: The Deadlift
Learning how to deadlift will teach you how to hinge properly and how to effectively use leg drive, and give you an opportunity to move some serious weight.
Lifting Fundamentals 3: The Benchpress
The bench press is one of the heaviest exercises you can do with your upper body.
Lifting Fundamentals 4: The Row
While there are slight differences between the bent over row and the pendlay row, both are among the best back strength and size builders in your arsenal.
Lifting Fundamentals 5: The Overhead Press
The standing overhead press is probably the most underrated of the fundamental lifts.
