      +British Youth Dips work the front and side shoulder and the chin up works the rear delt. You don't need to isolate everything. That's why guys don't grow sometimes. Spending time on bicep curls and lateral raises. Just do a compound and if you want do an isolational at the end then do it

    • @MisterRandom101
      @MisterRandom101 8 років тому +17

      Pull ups are better for width, rows are better for thickness. The best is to use both.

    • @GreekAssasin101
      @GreekAssasin101 8 років тому +2

      TheRoyalChipmunk Yes. But if you only have time for 1, you should do pullups. That
      is all that I mean. I am not saying rows are a bad exercise. And really, having time for only 4 exercises in a week is pretty unrealistic.

    • @MisterRandom101
      @MisterRandom101 8 років тому +3

      Not really. Some people only have an hour or less on hand. So something like stronglifts which only incorporates 6 exercises would be perfect for building a well rounded physique on what time you have.

    • @christosswc

      Bent over rows and deads do not have a place in the same program imo.

    Every single one of this guys videos teaches me something new. I have been in bed with chronic pain since 2012, started re-training around the pain back in December. With the help of this channel I am making great progress; I’m not so bothered about the physical, more the emotional and psychological. Lots of vids on UA-cam about getting big or cut, but not many address the positive benefits of training for mental health and addressing loneliness and other issues the disabled face. This guy does. Thanks Elliott. Jack, Brighton, England.

    • @DreamerTrain
      @DreamerTrain 9 років тому +22

      One reason is that majority of people at the gym have hypertrophy as primary goal and strength as secondary and squats are not the best exercise for this goal, they're king of leg strength but if you want big legs you're better off with leg presses and leg extension machines. Another is its technical difficulty, it's pretty hard to get the form down and leg press and other machines proper form requires little work.

    • @Magnus_Loov
      @Magnus_Loov 10 років тому +2

      Good all around training, but a couple of things could make it better
      2. You won't need regular push-ups if you do dips. Dips are taking care of training of the triceps, chest and shoulders in a much better way . The harder variations of Push-ups, like plyometrics (hand claps and the likes), diamonds (with a great lean-over) are great compliments though .
      The kind of planks in the pushup top position (arms extended) where you "lean over" the shoulders are great though if you want to benefit from some of that type of training that you get with push-ups (done in perfect form).
      There's a youtube video with some great bodyweight exercises (46 of the best bodyweight exercises or something) where there are a lot of great push-up varitaions!
      5. Glutes and hamstrings gets covered and then some with correct form deadlifts, as somebody already mentioned.
      For great cardiovascular workouts, instead of doing the stair climbs, try some treadmill uphill running intervalls.
      Or just find a hill to run outside (but that means less controllable rest periods where you have to climb down the hill really tired).
      If you already have the basic conditioning (VO2 max covered), you won't benefit that much from long stints on a stairclimber.
      Intervalls on the treadmill set to 10-15% incline (uphills!). 30-45 seconds running. 1 minute rests are great for both glutes and hams.
      Important is to push with your hips when running and to run on the forefoot/midfoot). That means not to "sit down" with closed hips where you also land on the heal, which actually acts as a break.
      That means you will be running with at least 17 km/h and upwards in the sprints (around 20 km/h for me)
      10-15 minutes on the treadmill with that type of running every third day is plenty..
      If you keep up the stride frequency (shorter faster steps) you won't get nearly as soar compared to the stairclimbing and you will also benefit from a much more functional movement.
      Varying that with intervalls on the rowing machine and the bikes will are great for avoiding overuse and to add variation.
      IF you then try to incorporate more walking and standing in your daily life (stand in front of the computer, walk instead of taking car all the time) for "the fast burn", to work on the so called "NEAT" (Non Exercise Active Thermogenesism google it!)..
      Long time cardio workouts like 40 minutes on stairclimbing in addition to strength training just sets you up for overtraining (especially if done 6 times a week!)
      In addition to both build up your cardiovascular fitness, it will also help you keep a much better intensity in the tougher musclebuidling excersises (deadlifts, weighted chins and dips and so on), since it will allow you to tolerate lacic acid much better so that you can lower the rest time between sets,
      It will mean that you will have a great time under tension workout that means you can be at the gym for 45-60 minutes instead of 1.5-2 hours and get much more efficient work done compared to the "conterproductive long time in the gym cortisol producing workouts"!
      I mean, if you work out intensely enough with deadlifts, squats and so on (meaning you are grasping for air lying on the floor after a full work set/drop set)
      you just can't/shouldn't workout for two hours!
      And it will also mean that you won't have to be at the gym for 6 days a week, since you just can't recover from the newly much more intense workouts, if done properly!
      Less i really more! The extra time you save not being in the gym could be spent on learning new movements, perfect the form on some calistenic movements. Or just spend it on something completely differnt making you "Defocusing" from fitness.
      Google GMB(gold medal bodys) for example for some great ring work or againfaster for some fantastic lessons in how to deadlift or just about any complex non-machine exercise.
      The you could also google bodyrecomposition forums for some general info about optimum diet and training for the natural athlete.
      If you have the strength I would add handstanding push-ups for both shoulder width and general stability in the shoulder region.
      And some gymnastic ring workouts to ADD to stability ( doing dips and chins in the rings, l-sits and so on), that makes for more functional (read stronger) and healthier muscles (less injuries in the long run, meaning you can progress with really heavy weighted dips and chins (even negatives) with less risk of injuries for super results!

      Work up to pistol squats, one handed push ups, one handed pull ups (that covers legs, push, and pull), and then buy a decently heavy kettlebell and start doing kettlebell swings, which is a decent substitute for the deadlift. All you need for this workout is a place to do pull ups and a kettlebell.

    @OwenPrescott 10 років тому +19

    I workout at home and I thought I would share my experience because I am putting on lots of muscle despite not going to the gym. At first I bought a dip station, doing dips has increased my chest size very quickly, lots of definition too. I have also started doing squats, I never used to do them until I had the idea of using my kick boxing bag as a weight. My idea now is to make as much gains as I can from home using basics, then once I start to plateau I will start going to the gym.

      2. Squats
      3. Pullups
      4. Shoulderpress
      5. Barbell Row

    • @oscarstenberg2745
      @oscarstenberg2745 6 років тому

      Gym once a week ONLY
      Squat
      Bench/Dip
      Deadlift
      Push press
      Weighted chin/Barbell row
      Only one set, once a week. Do 5 reps and add a rep when you can, and when you get to 10 you add weight and go back down to 5.
      You can also start it off by doing heavy triples of clean & push press, or end it off with 3-5 reps of that every 1-2 min until exhaustion.
      The rest of the week you can do sprints, handstand push ups, one arm push ups and pull ups, dips etc. I think, over the years, consistency will get you far. You will have energy and time for sports or other things in life. Calisthenics for body control or just pump out volume. As long as gym strength improves over time, you will eventually get big. In 5 years you will be as big as a gym bro who trained for 1-2 years, and more athletic. You'll also be stronger than anyone who just do running/calisthenics.

      Military Press is beneficial, but Unnecesary. If done with a barbell it primarily hits front Deltoids, which is also hit by Bench Press. A better alternative to isolate shoulders would be simple Frontal / Lateral Raises.

      With variations i mean:

      -One-armed pull-ups, close-grip and neutral grip pull-ups in the pull-up department.
      -Push-press and weighted dips in the Overhead Press.
      Tweaking the main movement to maintain an ever-changing cycle.

      Not more than i needed it to... I mean, chest is not important to me (in fact, i couldn't care less about aesthetic development, it's just a byproduct).
      I started to tweak it with a heavy squat session (combined with heavily weighted dips) once per week to maintain proper structural balance in regards to movement chains, but just that.
      Even though it doesn't have much in the "pec" department, it's as useful as it looks in regards to global strength and power development, at least for me... But i'm eager to know more, so if anyone thinks he/she has something useful to add, by all means, do it.

    I'd say do a lower body exercise, a push exercise, and a pull exercise on a day. Nect time pick 3 different variations. Grips can be changed (or foot position) to target different muscles slightly, and the angle of the pull or push can also be changed.
    examples:
    Deadlift (Yes it's a lower body exercise. It mainly targets the hams, glutes, and lower back)
    Bench press
    Pull ups
    back high bar squat
    over head press
    Bent over rows
    low bar squat
    Dips
    chin-ups
    high bar squat
    incline bench press
    underhand griped rows
    Stiff legged deadlifts
    decline bench oress
    neutral grip pull ups
    front squats
    close grip bench press
    wide grip rows

    • @muna5066
      @muna5066 10 років тому

      Well if you're deadlifting, you are getting back muscles with that. My back is always sore after deads. Not really the lats but def the middle, lower and my traps. I can't do a pull-up workout justice after deads. For example, on a normal day starting fresh (after a warm-up) I can get maybe 10-12 muscle-ups. When I try to do them after deads, I can only get half as far because my back and CNS are too burnt out for max exertion. The other days look somewhat doable but deads do hit back pretty hard if you're going heavy enough. Deads hit everything except the areas that a bench press hits.

    • @ericorozco5831
      @ericorozco5831 10 років тому +1

      Yes you do get back muscles from a deadlift but it mainly targets the glutes,hams, and lower back as i stated. If your back upper back is sore your probably not using enough leg drive. Your hips are shooting up too early and your turning it into a stiff legged deadlift. Perhaps, perhaps not. And exactly it's your cns and calories getting burned up not your your lats. And deads also dont hit the biceps nor the delts. Bench press only hits the front delt.

    • @muna5066
      @muna5066 10 років тому

      Eric Orozco Hmm. I guess I feel it in my upper back a bit more but either way, I agree with your main point that an ideal pull exercise is needed in the mix (probably a bent-over row for overall back size and strength, or variations of pull-ups and chin-ups with weight) To really get back and side delts properly, I'd always do something extra. They never get hit enough as bystanders, although as far as functional strength goes, I think he's right that they will get hit enough.

      I've been doing plate loaded tricep presses on a hammer strength machine which mimic dips. I have a pin loaded assisted dip / pull-up machine in our garage gym, but it's not heated so that's why I've been going to a gym to use the hammer strength machine.
      I'm planning on buying a rep fitness power rack for my basement gym, and that will come with a dip attachment.
      All that to tell you I'm making progress. Slow, steady, lifestyle changes designed to be permanent.

    I appreciate how practical and articulate you are. You might consider losing the foul language because you really don't need it. It simply detracts from the exceptional content you are delivering. I would love for my sons to hear you explain these things but would be hesitant to because of just a couple words (totally gratuitous) in the entire clip. It's funny how so many feel compelled to use them even though they are totally unnecessary. Hope you will accept that as constructive criticism to help your channel grow. Thanks for the excellent content.

    Elliot you are awesome my man. Thanks for all you do. I can vouch for this too. Ive been working out for years, mostly on machines - and yea I look pretty athletic. But I always avoided stuff like deadlifts, pullups, squats, and etc. Well, I recently broke up with my girlfriend of 3 and a half years. I was super sad, but I took all that emotion and focused that into making something good for myself. I've never worked out harder in my life. I'm literally gyming 6 days a week, taking Sundays off. I just basically said screw it and started doing everything I avoided before. At first, my deadlift and pullup sucked! I could barely do 4 pullups in one set. Now, only 5 weeks later I'm doing 3 full sets of 10 pullups - widegrip. Then I do 3 full sets of 10 close grip. It's insane how fast your body will adapt when you leave your guts laying on the floor at the gym consistently. I thought I knew what "working" out was until i realized how much you need to push yourself. It sucked at first but the Ironic thing is - now it's super addicting. Push yourself and you will be amazed of what you can accomplish.

      janez jesenko Yoga is something that a person can do well into old-age. There are many types, some of which require significant muscular strength and endurance. Yoga will not only give you flexibility, but it will improve your movement economy, body alignment, it will teach you how to breath properly and shift your energy, it will establish a mind-body connection making you fully aware of all the functions and systems of the human body. It is possibly one of the healthiest practices an athlete or any person can incorporate into their lifestyle.
      Nordic Skiing is perhaps among the most strenuous full-body workouts you could possibly do. It requires extreme amounts of muscular and cardiovascular endurance, and utilizes the strength of nearly every muscle group in the body. XC skiing is hard fucking work. It will also get you outside, breathing fresh air and getting sunlight, and it engages a primal instinct in most people. On top of all this it is just a practical thing to do...northern Europeans used to travel and hunt this way...there may be a day when you don't have the luxury of an automobile, and the Nordic Skiers will be the ones surviving.

  • @GeorgeOu
    @GeorgeOu 10 років тому +5

    Deadlifts, squats, and pull-ups for sure and I can see the benefits of dips. But how about the basic benchpress and the rows where you are pushing front and pulling back rather than just pulling down? Shouldn't those be pretty fundamental? And what about the clean and push press? Those two seem to be extremely good for compound strength.

    • @FTWtiberius
      @FTWtiberius 10 років тому +8

      He wanted to keep the list as short as possible to make a point about how great compound movements are. Every major muscle group used in the exercises you listed is already adequately covered by the four Elliot listed, with the possible exception of lateral and posterior deltoids. Bench press and dips are interchangeable. Horizontal rows aren't needed because deadlifts hit the scapular adductors / upper back (mid/lower traps, rhomboids). Clean and push press is like a deadlift -> front squat -> dip combination in terms of movement and muscle recruitment. No specific exercise is fundamental - movements / classes of exercise (squat, upper body push, etc) are fundamental.

    • @ryann8348
      @ryann8348 10 років тому +2

      From a bodybuilding sense, bench press over dips would make sense, but the bench press doesn't force you to have healthy, flexible shoulders like deep dips do. Also, there's very little rows do that deadlifts and chins don't do as a team.

    • @ryann8348
      @ryann8348 10 років тому

      ***** You have to get the pressing technique right, first of all. The bench press is surprisingly technical, but few put in the time to learn it correctly. Secondly, you can do an exercise like face pulls to specifically counteract the internal rotation. Third, while dumbbells are good for involving the chest, you can get good chest development with a barbell by coming all the way down to the chest and pausing there for a second before pressing back up (paused bench press).

      obviously i do lift with intenisty when i am able to perform all my exercises in 1 hour, if I need 1.5 hours to perform all my exercises then i'm lifting with less intenisty. Its simple, quit trying to act smart and rather do some reading.
