Best Weight Lifting Exercises

Everyone that is working out is trying to do the best that they can and looking for the best weight lifting exercies. I have a list here but also a way to figure out what the best weight lifting exercises are. There are a multitude of exercises that you can do for weight lifting but I think that the most important thing that you can do is to concentrate on your core bodyparts and try to get exercises that will work those parts the best. First thing to know when choosing the best weight exercises is to understand the difference between simple and compound exercises. A simple exercise is one in which only one muscle group is used, biceps curls for example. A compound exercise is one where you are working more than one muscle group. An example of a comp[und exercise is bench presses which work the chest for sure but are also being assisted by the shoulders and triceps. Why do you want to worry about the simple and compound exercises? Mostly because using compound exercises will be exercises that will build body mass more quickly than simple exercises because you are working multiple muscle groups at the same time. The next thing that you want to do in choosing the best weight lifting exercises is to remember that you want to have exercises that you can feel the muscles being worked and therefore know when you have exhausted them. for instance when doing squats you can really feel when your quadriceps are burning and out of strength, therefore able to rebuild and strengthen better than before, or Bench Presses burning your chest until you have nothing left there either. So now that we have these two keys to judge exercises I will give you the list of the best weight lifting exercises: Chest - Best compound exercise is Bench press, best simple exercise is Flyes Shoulders - Best compound exercise is Military Press, best simple exercise is Side Laterals Quadriceps - Best compound exercise is Squats, best simple exercise is Leg Extensions The following muscle groups are more assisting muscle groups so the best exercises are going to be simple exercises. These muscle groups of course were being used in the major muscle compound exercises Triceps - Best simple exercise is Tricep Pushdowns Biceps - Best simple exercise is bicep curls, especially 7-21 bicep curls Hamstrings - Best simple exercise is leg curls on a bench. These are in my belief the best weight lifting exercises that you can do. Whether your goal is to lose weight or gain muscle it is critically important that you concentrate on these exercises as a core but to confuse your muscles you can change them up on a regular basis.
