Info

BEYOND BRAWN 15. press (deltoids, triceps, traps) 16. dumbbell press (deltoids, triceps, traps) 17. overhead lockout (deltoids, triceps, traps) 18. incline bench press /incline press (pectorals, deltoids, triceps) 19. incline shrug (traps and entire upper back, deltoids, forearms) 20. standing shrug (traps, deltoids, forearms) 21. calf machine shrug—though recommended in the initial edition of this book, I now advise against it, due to the compression of the resistance on the working muscles, which can lead to muscle tears 22. cable row (lats, upper back, biceps, brachialis, rear deltoid) 23. modified straddle/handle lift (erectors, glutes, front and rear thighs, lats, upper back, forearms) 24. decline bench press (pectorals, deltoids, triceps) 25. close-grip bench press (triceps, deltoids, pectorals) 26. dumbbell row (lats, upper back, biceps, brachialis, rear deltoid, forearms) 27. side bend (erectors, quadratus lumborum, abdominal wall) B 33 If you cannot build an impressive physique by selecting from these exercises, you will not be able to build an impressive physique by selecting from any other pool of exercises. In such a case it would not be the exercises that would be limiting you, but what you are doing with the exercises, i.e., the program design, level of effort, and progression scheme you are using. 196
Accessory exercises EXERCISE SELECTION AND TECHNIQUE 10.37 In parentheses are the main muscles worked by each exercise. 1. bench shrug (pectorals, deltoids, traps) 2. “breathing” pullover (for rib cage enlargement) 3. back extension (glutes, lower back structure, hamstrings, thigh adductors) 4. reverse back extension (glutes, lower back structure, hamstrings, thigh adductors) 5. crunch situp (abdominal wall, especially the rectus abdominis) 6. reverse crunch (abdominal wall, especially the rectus abdominis) 7. overhead pulley crunch (abdominal wall, especially the rectus abdominis) 8. calf raise variations (gastrocnemius, soleus) 9. barbell curl (biceps, brachialis, forearms) 10. dumbbell curls (biceps, brachialis, forearms) 11. supinating curl (biceps, brachialis, forearms) 12. finger extension (finger extensors) 13. grip machine training (forearms, finger muscles) 14. lever bar work (forearms) 15. L-fly (shoulder external rotators, rear deltoid) 16. neck work (neck musculature) 197
