This is part 2 of this serie and in this video I will be talking about the basics of exercises. What are compound exercises and why do you need to use them? After this video you will be more familiar with a lot of exercises.
I use a barbell in this video, because it is easier to show the techniques. If you don't have a barbell, but only dumbbells then you can do the same exercises. Dumbbells can be used for a lot more exercises then barbells, so for beginners, a dumbbell set might be even better.

  • What would be a good routine to build bigger shoulders and triceps

  • @naruto0f0olympus Go to my channel and check out the playlists on those subjects. That should give you a good idea.

  • i Lift the same muscle groups 2 days in a row till i fail and than take 1 day rest, and then lift 2 more days and take 2 days rest, then restart the process. everyone has a diffrent body, if i only workout for 1 day then rest i gain muscle verrry slowly. so yeah just keep in mind that everybody has a different body, and different way of making things work. although if your hurting you obviously overexerted and need to take a rest.

  • @NorthernCaliSolDier Well, I work out 6 days in a row, but not the same muscle group 2 days in a row. If you do chest and triceps on one day and your back and biceps on the next you will still get good results. Every body is basicly the same except some small differences and exceptions, but the way we react on a certain workout can be different. In general it's not a good idea to work out the same group 2 days in a row, but for you and some others it might work.

  • I do pull ups, push ups, dips, squats, cav raises and crunches without weights. Is this good enough to get in shape?

  • @ChaosSharingan Yeah, that should be enough if it is challenging enough for you. There will probably come a time that it will not give you a lot of improvements, but if you do it to just get and stay in shape it's just fine.

  • @VENENO9021 Try the same exercises, but with heavier weight. You only need to do less than 6 exercises for all those exercises, so use a heavy weight that enables you to do only 1-6 repetitions.

  • @schoolprojects00100 No, 2x a week, on 2 other days I work out my abs and grip and on the final 2 workout days I do some sprinting/ freerunning.

  • @jlvi13 once a week?

  • it is much clearer that way thank you.
