Muscle Mass - Overhead Press
The overhead press is the forgotten lift in the weights rooms. Everyone always does seated dumbbell press these days. But again sometimes the basics work the best. How cool does it look to go over to bar and shift something that weighs the same as you over your head. Believe me someone who can press 70/80kg above their head will not be small! This move is so much more than a shoulder exercise. Your traps, triceps and core will all be firing at the same time. This move can also greatly increase your bench press. So if you want a big chest maybe you should think more about this move.Muscle Mass - Barbell Squats
Simply put squats are tough! That’s why people shy away from them. Not for the reason they give. If you learn to love leg day your onto a winner! Squatting will develop the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes but the hormonal effect from squatting can help develop even other muscles of the body. Squatting can cause a huge increase in your body’s secretion of testosterone and growth hormone. Old school bodybuilders use to tell young guys that if they wanted big arms, to start squatting. You don’t need to be repping out 30 reps with the ez bar, especially if you’re a beginner. Get squatting to get overall mass.Muscle Mass - Pull Ups

Conclusion
The theme of this blog was simplicity. I wanted to get it across to people that you don’t always need to be searching for that holy grail of a programme that contains around 500 reps! Especially if you are a beginner these moves will work wonders. You can employ them into a basic 5x5 programme or if you’re looking more at hypertrophy you could try 4x8 routine. The key is all these moves can be included in any programme you don’t need loads of equipment and the best thing is they will make you bigger stronger and faster, now who doesn’t want that?! Finally, remember to boost the results of your lifts by taking the right supplements. “There is no greatness, where there is no simplicity” – Leo TolstoyTagged: Training
