5 Best Strength Training Exercises - Elite Gamespeed

Squat

The squat is known as the "king of all exercises". Nothing will develop your lower body and put on quality muscle mass like the squat. If you are not squatting, and squatting correctly, then you are doing yourself a huge disservice. Leg presses and leg extensions aren't good enough to develop the lower body. Squat hard and heavy and you will become the beast you want to be.

Deadlift

If the squat is the king of all exercises, the deadlift is a close second. Nothing works the all important posterior chain muscles like the deadlift. If you are not familiar with the posterior chain, it is the hamstrings, glutes, spinal erectors (lower back), and the traps. The posterior chain muscles are the most important muscle group in athletics.

Bench Press

The bench press is to the upper body what squats are to the lower body. There is no better movement than the bench press for adding quality muscle mass to the upper body. Get strong in the bench press and you will have development in the chest, shoulders, and triceps that you can be proud of.

Rows

There are many variations to the row. It doesn't matter which variation you use, as long as you switch it up every few weeks or so. Rows will add thickness to your back like no other exercise.

Pull-ups

This is arguably the best back exercise. Nothing develops your lats, giving you that wide V-shape look, like pull-ups. Pull-ups are far superior to lat pull-downs. If you lack the strength to do pull-ups then it is acceptable to do lat pull-downs, or as a variation to pull-ups every once in a while. Once you are strong enough though, do pull-ups.
