7 Exercises GUARANTEED To Build Muscle! | DO THESE EVERY WEEK!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Too much of anything is overwhelming and usually a big waste of time. In my 20 years experience of training I've found that sticking to the basics usually yields faster results and my clients are more likely to train HAHHHHDAH if their list of exercises for the day is short and to the point. So does your current workout program contain all 7 of these exercises? If not, it might be time to switch things up! *Program Selector Tool!- Get The Right Program For You! - **muscularstrength.com/Program-Finder*

Thanks for making this video, Scott. I'm a personal trainer in Toronto, and I so often have clients asking me for "something new" to "Shake things up". And I will provide that, but I am always hesitant to. I myself only do a handful of exercises, but try to progress those. I think the value of a personal trainer is to help find the perfect exercise for the client - which squat variation, which press variation, etc. - rather than throw a bunch of random crap at them. Care and thoughtfulness leads to a simple, but beneficial, program.

Because of reoccuring back issues, I started going to a gym on a regular basis roughly 2 years ago. Over that time I read a lot of articles and watched a lot of videos (thanks Scott!!) on which excercises to do to help me personally (almost 50 with back issues) and amazingly I do these 7 exercises, along with a few others, on a regular basis. There are so many different excercises and/or type of equipment that I wanted to keep my gym experience simplified. I'm no body builder so these work great for me and I'm glad to see I'm making smart gym decisions.

Amazing as always Scott. Too many people make it way more complicated than it needs to be. Progressing with all these movements is going to account for like 75% of your mirror gains. I’d also like to throw in some lateral raises, as the shoulder press doesn’t work the side delt very well.

Thanks for this video Scott.. I was looking at some "expert's" programme a while ago. There was no emphasis on these exercises. Instead each day had about 7 different exotic sounding exercises that I literally had never heard before in my life.

[@rikich15]

I do a split program: upper body (4 sets x 10 reps once a week, or 4 sets x 20 reps once a week) and legs (4 sets x 10 reps + 2 sets x 20 reps once a week)... and I usually am around the gym for 1h45 minutes The upper body is warm-up, 6 exercises , and abs: I do dumbbells chest presses (30°), lat pull-downs, T-Bar rows, and straight-bar military presses... then I finish with a triceps exercise (usually either straight-bar triceps presses or lying barbell extensions), and a biceps one (usually straight-bar curls). Legs are warm-up, 4 exercises, abs: leg press, abductors machine, adductor machine and sitting leg curls And of course I complete everything with some other activities during the week, namely Bodypump and Bodycombat (both classes for which I am also an instructor), and at least one hour of pilates every week :)

[@coldfire22]

Awesome video! Easily the best I've seen all year from any fitness youtuber. I have two herniated discs, so avoid squats and deadlifts... When I do squat I do front squats, I have found they place a LOT less weight and pressure on my back. For my back, I do pullups (my favorite back exercice), seated rows and lat pulldowns. I've been doing dips and bench dips for triceps, but I'll give close grip a try instead!

[@PSF1986]

Also just to add on a few exercises not for muscle building but rather for health of ur joints: 1) Face pulls 2) Banded duck walks Im sure evryone is aware of benefits of facepulls but not no. 2. Some athletes suffer from knee related injuries such as ACL & meniscus tear, and the underlying cause is due to weak glutes. Tho the best way to strengthen glutes is via hip thrusts & squats, i would recommend banded duck walks.

[@zainjalad6773]

i think he got that quote from Dom Mazzeti

[@eddinep4688]

Scott I like your videos and even though I have been lifting longer than you have been breathing air I still pick up some good tips from you. Three points from this video stand out. I don’t know why but I always sustain injuries from close grip presses so I’ve cut them out. I am 66 so not in my prime. As for landmine presses I m inclined to believe they are more for the upper pecs rather than the delts. Finally, the ab cable crunch is one of my favorites and I won’t suggest your form is off but I used to do it the way you do and found I get much better results when I come down in more of a squeezing ab position than coming down in a curling position. Give it a try.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Then landmine press will hit a little upper chest for sure, but the angle isn’t enough for the chest to be taking over too much (if you get close enough to the bar). What do you mean about the squeezing position for the ab Pulldown?

[@eddinep4688]

Instead of having more of the extreme curl of the body I do the movement by doing just a slight bend but them coming straight down. It sort of feels like your body is an accordion. It puts a really good squeeze directly on the abs.

[@andrelamarque1009]

This will be my new novice program then. Should close grip(CG) bench be replaced with incline bench, or is this better. Would love feedback! Andre Novice 3 day program: Workout A: Front emphasis Squat 3x5 RDL 2x(8-10) Bench 3x5 OHP 3x5 CG bench 2x(6-8) Workout B: Back emphasis Deadlift 3x5 Reverse lunge 2x(8-10) Barbell row 3x(8-10) Chin up 2x(6-8) Shrug 2x(10-12) Face pull 2x(12-15)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Looks OK, I would keep the CG bench. But I wouldn't call it "front" and "back" emphasis, not technically the right terms, because on "front" day you're hitting hamstrings and triceps with are posterior muscle groups. Not a big deal, just saying haha. If you need more help with your routine be sure to post in my forums!

[@DDan-el3fs]

No

[@expat74]

So true with the low v high bar squat. My knee's are garbage and they can no longer tolerate high bar squats. At the end of a session they would hurt and some times inflame. Switched to low bar and I have no knee issues. It's great since there was a point were I dreaded not being able squat again.

[@julienf2301]

That's a very good top7, I agree with almost 100% of this video, but maybe I would have added a 8th: face pull. It's not really a big "muscle builder", it's more of an accessory move or even a general health exercise, but I think it gives huge benefits to almost everybody.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yeah I would definitely have face pulls somewhere in your program too! I just couldn’t include everything here haha

[@user-fr3vu4pb3h]

Sumo requires more inner thigh flexibility and involves more quads when done correctly. It puts you in a more upright position causing you to push directly down and really focus on the extension of your leg without extending. Conventional deadlifts may require more hamstring flexibility to get into the bottom position while maintaining a neutral spine and the conventional focuses more on the posterior chain (glutes, hams and spinal muscles). To get bigger and stronger (which you should be getting stronger to get bigger) you need a squat variation, hip hinge exercise (eg deadlift variation), vertical press (eg standing bb press), vertical pull (pull/chin ups or lat pulldowns), horizontal press (bench press variation), horizontal pull (barbell row variation). The variation you choose is not set in stone, it depends on your strongest points and weak links, if you have a lagging lateral delt compared to front delt you may choose standing dumbbell press with 90 degree reps because it focuses more on the lateral delt due to where the peak tension occurs and the upright position from standing. With the bench press your triceps may be the weak link so you may opt to train close grip, if chest is the weak link you may opt to train larsen press. In terms of overall strength you are better off choosing the classic barbell bench press as standing barbell press. It is all dependant on goals and weak points or muscles you are trying to develop more than the other.

Yeah thats what I did.

Hey Scott how do you feel about goblet squats I don't always have access to a straight bar ??

[@sjoo8]

I watched some really old ScottHermanFitness videos and I'm 100% positive he's over exaggerating the accent on anything thing with a soft "a" (aka anything that rhymes with the word bar) on purpose. Still, love the content dude. Keep doing you!

[@1hitgamer]

I do too

@@1hitgamer so it's not just me! Cause it wasn't the BAHHHH a couple years ago lol.

Love what you do brother. Keep up the good work!

Never even knew about ab pulldowns. Very interesting, will give it a try!

[@kimfoisie9106]

Hey Scott - quick question on the ab pulldowns - if you’re trying to lean out , especially if you hold a good amount of fat on your core/stomach, should you do weighted ab exercises? I “heard once” if you do weighted ab workouts before you’re leaned out it will only make you (look) bulkier and you should focus on body weight exercises first. Is that true?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Not true at all. I do weighted ab exercises year round. Helps my abs stay blocky and look their best, but it doesn't make me have a protruding gut

[@agl4395]

Where did you buy the cloths wearing in this video?

[@andykay2802]

@ScottHermanFitness Ive had surgery (2 years ago), and im in great risk of having a hernia when lifting too heavy. (on exercises that involve much of the core) Whats the best alternative to- /type of deadlift in that case?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

There's no single alternative to a deadlift. But you can do other exercises like RDLs, glute bridges etc. to be getting similar benefits. But you could still just deadlift lighter? Doesn't have to always be super heavy

[@andykay2802]

@@ScottHermanFitness thank you for your answer. i will try that:) i just feel like im not doing enough when i go light on such an exercise. its one of those exercises were people pull off really big numbers, so its easy to get blinded.

[@gymanddancemirrorsdirect7898]

Great video's mate, keep up the good work..

[@anthonypollock1225]

What's the optimum number of times you should be training abs per week? 3 - 4?

[@toniorko]

Scott, I don't drop the barbell to the ground when I do deadlifts. I just bend forward and go back up for a few reps. Am I still doing them correctly, without hitting the floor?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

A deadlift means you should come to a dead stop. Unless you’re doing Romanian deadlifts to target your hamstrings?

[@toniorko]

@@ScottHermanFitness Oh, never thought about the meaning of the name. So the Romanian deadlift doesn't hit the weight on the ground?

Great video Scott! Love, uncle Oliwer

Thanks so much 😁

I had forgotten all about the cable crunch. Thanks for the reminder!
