http://www.fitwithmitch.com The Journey to your dream body starts here!

I see many weight lifters miss these muscles, especially beginners. However these muscles come into play whenever you are doing just about any exercise in the gym and to miss them, will cause an imbalance and possible injury. They are..

1. Calves
2. Shins
3. Erector Spinae
4. Shoulders
5. Forearms

Combination and Isolation workouts for each of these muscles should be incorporated into your workout routine to better perform the larger exercise like squats and bench press, more effectively.
Read more about these muscles, their functions, and how to effectively grow them at my blog:

  • i always hear about if you want to lift to become more massive do this if you want to be cut or tone do this, and i want to know, what is this guy considered?? because that is the type of muscle i want, is he like cut or massive???

  • I'm pretty cut under the shirt, but that mainly comes from a low body fat %. I'm not all the big tho, but size doesn't matter as much if you can see the muscles clearly. Thanks! lol

  • aside from the advice, you are so cute

  • lol, thanks. stay tuned for more videos by the cute guy

  • deadlifts from the floor definately work the erectors hard,but you can also do these in the power rack with the pins set right below the knees.pull the weight and at the top spread the lats like you would on stage.this spreads the weight over the entire back instead of the legs,hips hip flexors and traps.olympic movements are especially effective in hitting the back.power cleans,power snatch and high pulls work the traps hard.BLOOD AND SWEAT BABY!

  • how about this;olympic back or front squats5x5,deadlifts-5x5,push press-5x5,2 inch bar bench from bottom position-5x5,power cleans-5x5,2inch barbell curls-5x5.these exercises will add tremendous density and muscle all over.we certainly concentrate on the lower and mid back muscles.weighted chins are one of the most valuable non-weight exercises you can do.start out with no weight,then work up to 5x5.get away from the machine craze,get back to very simple basic workouts.3x week.

  • alright i have no problem with wanting to use all those machines, but only problem is not having them..

    for example that erector spinae exercise u showed us, that isnt present in the gym i use, now my actual question is, isnt deadlifts work out ur erector spinae? why not mention that? wouldnt it be more beneficial too?

  • you got to focus on muscle gain then cut fat.Then you will look better ,otherwise your just skinny i felt the same way before. Its easy to gain muscle you just gotta do it,its that simple ,you need to develop some self discipline. EAT

  • where can u buy a shin machine at???????????

  • @hockey4cc

    why are you asking other people to tell you what he looks like? cant you just look at him yourself?

  • didnt mention rotator cuff at all and its probably the most important muscle group to keep conditioned

  • when i run i get shin splints my wrestling coach told me these happens because the calf muscles is stronger than the chin muscles is this true? if it is then by me doing calf raises is this worstening the problem?

    also yesterday i did some dumbbell shin curls...they felt as if i were getting chin splins whenever i run was it suppost to feel like that or just a burn like you do when you workout your forearms?
