Where did you learn most your exercises?

[hashman]

Where did you guys mostly learn a variety of exercises/form from? I would say for me other more experienced lifters, here, and youtube.

By the way can anyone recommend any books. I am eager to learn different exercises. Anything like Mens Health homeworkout book that has 400 exercises. Any books with a lot of exercises? Or maybe I should buy a dvd? Thanks...

You don't need a lot of exercises, you need to be able to perfectly perform a good variety of basic exercises. Honestly, who needs spider curls?

I probably know 50 exercises or more, but i probably only ever do about 15 or less on a regular basis and swap a few out every few months for some variety.

Use that extra space in your brain to really nail all the critical essential movements. P-Funk's book is an absolute must-have, also. Highly reccomended.

Highly recommended: Teaches you the squat, bench, deadlift, and press.
