best muscle building exercise for each muscle

mike456 · 04-09-2006, 09:07 AM

what is the best muscle building exercise for these muscles in your opinion
mines are:

Quads- Squats
Hams-Stiff leg deadlifts
Lats- Pullups
Biceps- Straight Barbell Curls
Chest-Bench Press
Triceps- CG(one fist space between hands) bench Press
Anterior Deltoid- Military Press
Lateral Deltoid- Upright Rows

I have all of these exercises in my routine and I think they are the best
This would be a great workout for a fbw in my opinion just do 2 sets for each
6 rep range

muscles work in concert to perform any lift. there is no way to single out a particular muscle group. train movement planes.

and the best tricep exercise would be dips

i know muscles work in concert to perform any lift, but all exercises have a targeted muscle ,such as the bench press it does many mucles such as chest, anterior delt, and triceps, but it targets the chest, therefore there is a way to single out a particular muscle group.

mike456 · 04-09-2006, 03:02 PM

go on exrx.net it shows lots of exercises then it shows the targeted muscle, and it also shows secondary muscles worked

The best exercises as a whole are: squats, deadlifts, lunges, bench pressing, overhead pressing, dips, rowing, pullups/chinups, and pulldowns. For the most part I stick with these movements.

I agree wholeheartedly, although when I train in movements, for instance a 'push day,' my triceps give out far too soon for my liking.

I've recently gone back to body part training because of this. I always tweaked volume, I tried tweaking excercises, but if I'm not performing the excercises I think are the best, or the volume that I see fit, should I or anyone else still work in movement planes or do like i've done as of late and return to bodypart training?

I don't understand what you mean? Your triceps give out....BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING! That is the whole point. I don't get what you don't understand about that? You use your triceps on all the presses. Why do you need to do anymore single joint work? It is a waste of time save for a few sets for tendon health.

Foreman says above that rows are best for lats. I was under the impression that chins (wide) and pulldowns (wide) are best for lats and rowing is best for upperback. Am I confused on this?
