The Muscle Building Power of Compound Exercises
The Muscle Building Power of Compound ExercisesAuthor: Jim ClementsIt's not unusual for a muscle building newbie to focus on their favorite individual muscles in the gym and work them with isolation exercises. However, much more can be achieved through a foundation of compound exercises, even for your favorite muscles. If you're looking to build a bigger physique compound exercises cannot be overlooked.What are compound exercises?Compound exercises involve the use of more than one muscle and/or joint, as apposed to isolation exercises that only use one. The best example of a compound exercise and most commonly used is the barbell squat. The barbell squat is mostly thought of as a leg exercise. What many people don't realize is there are many more muscles benefiting from it. Think about it. During the squat you are working your legs, buttocks, back and many more supporting muscles.You may notice that the big guys in the gym do this much more than the small guys. There is a good reason for it too. Not only do they use more than one muscle at once, they allow you to use more weight which puts more stress on your muscles causing tears in the fibers which are essential for muscle hypertrophy, or muscle cell growth.Why should you use compound exercises?If you are serious about building a bigger physique compound exercises should be the foundation of your muscle building regimen.

My fianc and I both work hard, but a big event like a wedding costs a lot. Then I remembered that I had a lot of gold jewelry from years ago that is out of style and broken. |
