The Fastest Way to Get Stronger (WORKS EVERY TIME)

m going to discuss the simplest way to do that by focusing on two things: compound movements and progressive overload. These two elements of a training program are particularly helpful for beginner lifters and will always serve as the basis of programming for even the more advanced lifter. Compound movements are the lifts that allow us to incorporate the most muscles possible, thereby giving us the opportunity to move the most weight possible. By working multiple muscles at a time we-re able to get more bang for our buck by doing fewer exercises but also by allowing us to take advantage of the heavier weights we are able to lift. To find the best compound exercises we don-t need to look any further than the tried and true staples. The bench press, overhead press, barbell row, weighted chin up, squat and deadlift. These movements will allow you to move some serious weight and have you adding more and more weight to the bar with almost each and every workout. Just these few exercises will also train almost every muscle in your body, almost. Make no mistake, these compound movements will definitely increase your strength, more so than perhaps any other, and they will make up the foundation of any serious training program, but they can also leave you lacking in many other areas. I-d be remiss if I didn-t educate you on the areas of your training that you are overlooking by being singularly focused on just strength. Don-t get me wrong, I-m a HUGE fan of strength, in fact I-ve seen first hand how taking a genetically gifted athlete and doing nothing but making them stronger will help them rise to new heights. Fact is, most of us are not genetically gifted athletes, we more often than not are sitting at a computer all day at work and being severely under stimulated physically outside of what we do in the gym. For these two reasons alone you need to make sure that strength is a foundational part of your training, but not the only part of your training. Never make yourself one dimensional

I made my own training routine and it's literally this video. Only because it was based on compound exercises which gives you the most bang for your buck. This training routine will get you so strong. My training is a bit more different now as it's pull monday, push tuesday, legs wednesday, pull thursday, push friday, legs saturday, pull sunday. You get the idea. Plus it includes accessories exercises, drop sets, using partial reps when training beyond failure. I've been on this routine for 3 years now. I would've been further ahead if not for the lockdowns of 18 months but I digress. My lifts now are 190KG deadlift, 160KG squat, 105KG Bench press, 115KG pull up.
80KG bodyweight. Average height. 21 years old

I do a Push, Pull, Leg split with body weight Mon, Wed, Fri. I get my core lifts in, burnout with negatives, then work on my mind-muscle connection and do corrective exercises with bands. I never miss these days, and just use a weighted vest, some trx style rings, and bands so I can get the workout in anywhere I travel.
If I-m feeling it on off days, I-ll hit the gym and focus on compound barbell/dumbbell lifts for power and burn out aesthetic muscles afterwards. I-ll do whatever muscle group has at least a two day rest period. Then I wrap those workouts up with hiit training once or twice per week.

I only have access to limited equipment. I have 147. 5kg Olympic weights, 20kg bar, half power rack with chin up bar and one 12. 5kg dumbell( can add more weight if i sandwich an Olympic plate or 2. My standard workouts consist of, bench press, squats, cable rows and pulldowns, bent over rows, overhead presses, light dumbell work due to only having one. And accesory work like curls, triceps pull-downs, setups and press ups. all rotated on a 5 day split, i also use the treadmill for 20mins after a workout. what am I missing to improve my workouts?

Where can I find this kind of workout routine? I have been training for a year and over after a long gap. I have gained in strength. My main goal is to loose weight/ body fat. But my trainer in gym has only been working on isolation movement and I am sick of it. I want overall strength and atheletic ability. I used to be a sportsguy during my school days and was very atheletic. I am currently 5'3, 205 LBS. I am 43 and also a diabetic. How can I start this? Thanks.

I really like the way that he explained the total body fitness between just lift weights and actually being functional. Many people do not train in a matter of function. I see it all the time at the gym. Guys trying to get strong and even over doing it at times. They never do push ups or pull ups, and I ve seen them get on a treadmill. They can lift 5 plates but couldn't run down the street without fainting. That is not a healthy strength in my book.

A wise man once said that -it's much more important to have usable strength to be able to function like an athlete for the rest of your life, than to have bragging rights for one or two exercises in the gym- --
It's sort of like that saying -you're stronger than you look-, it's much better than looking stronger than what you really are, same for intelligence -

So true. Focusing on the big 3 powerlifting exercises alone for competition, I found great results to a point. At 230lbs and benching mid 4-s I began having shoulder issues. I should-ve added more shoulder work to compensate for the pressure and stress exerted on the smaller muscles and joint. Young mistakes.

hi jeff, i am 25 years old, i was doing weighted pullups with 25 kg weight on my waiste.
a doctor was there in the gym. he told me that the foerce of the weights on the belt can effect your urinary
nerves on your waiste. so you should not do it. is it correct

reply

I remember watching this when I started on the 5x5 routine and i ignored the advise here. Now 8 months later still recovering from shoulder injury. Jeff knows his stuff. Compound excercises with a sprinkle of isolation excercises is the order of the day!
