Want more muscles in your upper body? Part 4
An alternative to one arm rows:
The barbell row allows you to get a full back workout. As the motion is similar to the one arm row, the muscles you involve will be targeted in the same way. One additional difference would be the erector spinae muscles working to hold your body in place as you execute the rows completing the "full back" engagement. Drop me a text to learn more!

Want to develop stronger chest muscles? Last of the "BIG 3" compound lifts:
The barbell Bench press is an effective way to target the Pectoralis (Chest) muscles. By increasing the incline just higher than flat, you'll be able to increase pec stimulation while reducing the strain you might feel in the shoulders. Drop me a text to learn more!

Here's an upper body compound lift:
The one arm row is a common "Pull" exercise that allows one to work the muscles of the back. We have some of the biggest and strongest muscles in our backs and so, it is important to work those muscles to keep them strong and healthy. Having a strong back also allows you to build resilience against common back injuries that tend to happen as we age.

The "Big 3" compound lifts:
The "BIG 3" are Deadlift, Squats and Bench Press. You may consider doing these exercises in the gym to help with some basic strength and conditioning. These lifts require you to use more muscle mass, they also require much more energy. A weighted squat, for example, uses all the muscles in your leg, as well as your core and forearms. Compound exercises can be a way to build more muscle mass and burn more calories in a shorter amount of time.

Benefits of compound lifts:
Compound lifts are exercises that bring your body through a range of motion that engages multiple joints and muscle groups. With that being said, that also allows you to gain the most hyperthrophy, causing your body to utilize more calories in both executing the movement and tissue repair after the work out. Compound lifts give you the biggest bang for your buck!

How does the Lat-pull down contribute to an awesome physique?
The latissimus dorsi (Lats) is known to be the widest muscle in the body, working on it allows you to be able to increase the width of your body, contributing to an inverted triangle shape. This makes your upper body appear wider than your waist.
