3 Best Exercises for Gaining Muscle

There's basically two types of exercises, compound and isolation. Isolation exercises are ones like individual bicep curls or chest flys. Isolation exercises have their place, but when it comes to building the most muscle, compound exercises are where it's at.

Compound exercises use multiple muscles at once, which builds muscle in multiple areas, not just one, and because you're using multiple muscle you can lift a much heavier which means greater gains, this is one of the things that Vince teaches in his program.

There are 3 exercises in particular that are the mother of all muscle builders. Those exercises are deadlifts, squats and bench press.

Before this program I didn't really focus on deadlifts or squats because they were just really hard and I didn't like doing them, I figured bench press and bicep curls were enough (how wrong I was), but now I am so glad I do them because they have helped me make really good gains in a short amount of time.

Deadlifts are basically the holy grail of muscle building exercises, using pretty much every muscle in your body for the movement. Squats are a close second and bench press is third, but specifically for upper body exercises bench press is king.

Because these exercises fire so many muscle at once, you will make gains in pretty much every other muscle just by doing these. Implement these exercises into your routine and you will make much better gains.
