CHEST

This  powerful  muscle  group  is  the

cornerstone of a well-developed upper

body.  To  most  thoroughly  work  your

pecs,  include  both  pressing  and  fly

movements and vary the angle of the

bench from decline to flat to incline.

SHOULDERS

The  shoulder  joint,  which  has  the

greatest range of motion of all joints in

the body, is best worked by training all

three deltoid heads. Include a pressing

movement followed by a raise for each

of the three heads.

UPPER BACK

A  powerful  upper  back  is  marked  by

both middle-back thickness and width

(the  sought-after  V-taper).  This  is

best  achieved  by  combining  various

rows  with  pull-downs  and  pull-ups.

Remember to vary your grip to slightly

change the stimulus.

TRAPS

A signature muscle of a strong upper

back, well-developed traps help prevent

neck  injury.  Shrug  movements  should

be done with heavy weights in a straight

up-and-down motion.

LOWER BACK

Important not only for spinal protection

but also because it’s the seat of power

for many exercises. If you spend a great

deal of time crunching for abs, you need

to  balance  your  training  for  complete

development and muscular balance.

TRICEPS

This three-headed muscle on the back

of your arm is involved in extension of

the elbow. Like the biceps, the triceps

cross  the  elbow  and  shoulder  joints.

Because of this, you can and should work

the triceps through a variety of angles

to ensure  complete development.

BICEPS / FOREARMS

A  two-headed  muscle,  the  biceps’

primary focus is to flex your elbow and

supinate your wrist. The ability to build

your  biceps  peak  is  largely  genetic,

but exercises that maximally stress the

short head will help.

ABDOMINALS

The rectus abdominus has upper and

lower regions, but you can’t isolate one

area over the other. Still, include both

upper and lower ab movement to more

strongly  emphasize  those  areas,  and

do  twisting  movements  to  work  the

obliques for complete development.

THIGHS / GLUTES

The main muscles of the thighs are the

quadriceps which are composed of four

muscles. You have several others near

the hip joint, including the body’s largest

muscle  group,  the  gluteals.  Multijoint

movements (in which action occurs at

both the hip and knee joints) are your

best choice to work these muscles.

HAMSTRINGS

On  the  back  of  the  thighs,  the

hamstrings  balance  the  quads  and

allow  for  a  wide  range  of  movement.

Good  exercise  choices  include  those

that work the hamstrings and both the

hip and knee joints.

CALVES

Calves  consist  of  two  major  muscles,

the  gastrocnemius  and  soleus.  The

latter is best worked when the knee is

flexed, as in the seated calf raise.

EXERCISE

TIPS

Listed below are Body-Solid’s picks of the best exercises you can do for each body part. These exercises can be
done using free weights, machines and multi-station gyms. Learn to do each exercise in proper form. You can
make substitutions in your training and try variations of each using different Body-Solid grips, cable attachments and
accessories to slightly change the emphasis of a particular exercise. Note: Many movements, especially multijoint
exercises, work more than one muscle group. For example, your front deltoids and triceps are stimulated during
bench / chest pressing movements.
