Pro Athlete Strength Coach Reacts to Chris Bumstead's ONLY 10 Exercises Men Need to Build Muscle!

If you ever wondered how physical therapist Jeff Cavaliere would react to Chris Bumstead’s list of the only 10 exercises that men need to build muscle, you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I am giving my reaction to a list of exercises that 4x Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead came up with featuring the only 10 exercises he feels that men need to build muscle. I will show where I agree and disagree with his selections and exactly why I feel the way that I do about each one, especially when it comes to building muscle myself. You might be surprised to hear what I have to say.

The first exercise on Chris Bumstead’s list is the barbell back squat. He opts for the smith machine variation due to it feeling more bearable on his knees. I agree that squat is one of the best for overall leg development, but the smith machine is where I disagree. For my bad knees, I would go with bulgarian split squats or a barbell reverse lunge since I can load some decent weight on the bar.
Next up is the deadlift, Jesse’s favorite exercise. I agree with Chris here because it is one of the best exercises for hamstring, glute, and back development all in one shot. I tend to use a stiff leg deadlift in my training, which does a great job of targeting the posterior chain - again, building muscle in the hamstrings, glutes, and low back.
The third exercise that Chris Bumstead mentions is the pull-up, however, he prefers a neutral grip as opposed to underhand or overhand. He mentions the grip allows for use of the biceps along with the lats at the same time. I love pull-ups, having recently talked about how to increase the number that you do with a few simple tips. But if you are looking to build your lats with a bodyweight exercise, I think the pullup is one of the best options out there.
Next we have the incline dumbbell bench press. I love this exercise and think it should definitely be included in chest training. I agree with his comment how the dumbbells are easier to use when you have shoulder problems, just like I have, instead of using a barbell.
Chris mentions that he like the seated dumbbell shoulder press. I agree and disagree at the same time; the dumbbell shoulder press is an awesome shoulder exercise to build muscle in the delts. Where I disagree is the seated aspect of the lift. I prefer you stand on your feet because it is more athletic and you won’t have to worry about the bench impeding the natural scapular rhythm when pressing.
Number six on this list is the close grip flat bench press. This isn’t my favorite option for the triceps as the long head is usually what lacks development and I think there is a better option out there to target this specific area. The lying triceps extension allows you to get that long head on stretch by being over your head, instead of pressing out in front of yourself like so many other triceps exercises.
If you are wondering how to build muscle, especially on your biceps, Chris gives an excellent option with the standing supinated dumbbell curl. I love the alternating version because there is less core demand when trying to curl the dumbbell up. This is also just a fun muscle building exercise and I think it should definitely be included in anyone’s workout routine.
The eighth entry on Chris Bumstead’s list is the bent-over row. This is an excellent option to build your back because you preferentially target the mid/upper back or the lats, depending on your elbow positioning. A wider elbow position will target the muscle of the upper and mid back more, while keeping your elbows tight to your side will target your lats preferentially.
When it comes to abs, one of my absolute favorite exercises is the hanging leg raise and I am glad that Chris included it in his list. Not only is a great lower ab developer because of the weight of the legs acting as overload, but it is also scalable.
Finally, there is the lateral raise. While I love this exercise to build bigger shoulders, especially done in strict fashion - I will say that I prefer the cheat lateral raise more. I like to use a little bit heavier weight on this exercise and really focus on the eccentric lowering of the dumbbell.

Pullups and dumbbell curls for biceps; incline dumbbell, standing dumbell press and lying tricep ext for triceps.

This struck me hard a little while ago. Realizing almost all my family members made it to their 80s and 90s. Like ya sure 'life is short' as they say but also godamn thats a long time to be hobbled up from injuries! Thats a deep-seated fear of mine to have injuries to an extent that I struggle or bed bound later in life. Health and quality of life go hand in hand for me. I see my Dad who injured his back while serving in Iraq, his mobility is so bad he can barely touch his knees and he waddles when he walks. He is in his 50s IE he has to live in pain for literal decades like that. No thank you!

Hey Jeff. Ive been watching your video for about 3 or 4 years. And you've been a tremendous help. I really appreciate the deep detail. But I e often wondered if being double jointed in the elbows impacts my form on barbell or dumbell curls. Specifically on my drag curls my elbows crack with a vibration but not always with pain. Any tips that could help.

[@mattmatt5864]

No it doesn't matter, double jointed doesn't mean you have two elbows. Just don't hyper extend. Lower the weight and do slow reps. Too many people hyper extend when they do certain workouts, shoulders is a big one. Just do it properly. Cracking is a common symptom with a) your body just isn't made to do the movement, let's of people have issues with barbell incline BP cause it's just too awkward of a movement for their body, the other two reasons are too much weight and hyper extending and since you think being double jointed somehow is the problem I'm guessing your hyper extending

Triceps extensions are great but I found them harder for my elbows. Besides that it really depends on ur goal. I mean... close grip press is overall better for short head of triceps, meanwhile overhead extensions are better for long head. Its best to mix them both.

I used to hate skull crushers due to the strain on my elbows but started doing them heavy like Jeff does... where you actually hinge at the shoulders first then extend the tri's.. and found there's much less stress on my elbows than when you try to keep the shoulders fixed in a certain position. Give it a try if you havent!

Thank you for your years of great work and information.

Love the reaction video. It’s like getting a second opinion.

I used to love deadlifts but I went very heavy and two days later my back went completely. I have had chronic lumbar pain, possible spinal cartilage issues and definitely QL damage for about three years.

What do you guys recommend for Sets and Reps for CB top ten exercises?

Once again I’ve got a couple of new ideas to add to my routines.

The rectal crunch is definitely one of my favorites. I can actually crack nuts with that move.

I literally just checked out Ole Smokey Moonshine distillery in Gatlinburg. Crazy how that was one of the first things I noticed in the video haha. But great video overall!

excellent video guys, really liked

All of these except the squats are my favorites. Doing the Bulgarian Lunges are way harder than Squats. I get way better results with those and way less strain on your knees.
