Squats/Deadlifts/Benchpress

[legacymad555]

Are these the best excerises for gaining strength?

[goinhard]

If you could only do 3 in a normal gym, likely. Else it would be the olympic lifts as well like a power snatch.

[muscles_from_russels]

What about the "Lift and Carry" that the world's strongest men do? They try to run carrying some huge weight or boulder and throw it onto the back of a truck. I read somewhere it may be th best all round strength movement. Too much bloody hard work for me tho!

[legacymad555]

These are my main exercises and stength is my main goal. Hope to look like Arnold or big Ronnie Coleman.

I also do other more muscle specific exercises.

Plus some boxing on the bag at the mo.

Not too many gyms have boulders and trucks. Spin bikes tend to take up all the room

Dn0 about trucks but as far as boulders and similar style gear - you hear a strange whisper in the wind. .... swoosh pooowweerrhhoouuseeeeee ppooowweeerrrhhoouuuuuuuusssseeee

Having those 3 in your training split would definitely give you a solid foundation :nod:

In that group I'd prolly chuck in a overhead press movement, a row of some sort, and pullups/chins is a goodie too.

If OB gets his way one day we might have a sand pit to play with our toys in.

Yes, but like in really,really big time.(couple of grams of test a week plus all the other goodies). Hope you have a good bank balance and excellent genetics. That is just being realistic and not sarcastic :wink:

But anyway: best of luck in your quest, hopefully you can one day make us all eat our words!!!!!!! :grin:

Take it to the MAX

[Dragon]

I'd add a swift walk up and down the stairs with a heavy dumb bell in each hand, or if you are an outdoor kind of guy - a hill climb with a fence post over each shoulder or a dead pig on your back... :pfft:

I have competed in both Powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting and the snatch i found doesn't make you stronger as such. It is great for speed and explosion and a great all over body conditioner but the Squat, Bench and Deadlift are more strength/size builders.
