The Top Ten Weight Training Exercises for Building Muscle
Author: Jason Ferruggia Bodybuilding Expert and Author of Muscle Gaining Secrets
1) Deadlift- Not many weight training exercises work as many muscle groups and build muscle as fast as the deadlift. The neck, traps, upper, middle, and lower back, glutes, hamstrings, quads, biceps, forearms, and abs are all utilized in the deadlift. No other exercise is a better test of overall body power. While uninformed people always ask, “how much can you bench,” the question they really should ask is, “how much can you deadlift?” A deadlift is the most basic exercise anyone can do. Bending down and picking a weight up off the floor is the one weight training exercise that mimics everyday real life situations. Most people will rarely find themselves on their back needing to push a heavyweight off their chest but everyone has to bend down and pick things up. If you could only do one exercise to build muscle this would be the one to do.
2) Squat- The squat has been known for years as the “king of all muscle building exercises” and for good reason. I’m not talking about sissy boy half squats either; I’m talking about real below parallel, full squats. If you don’t at least break parallel it’s not a squat. Like deadlifts, squats involve an enormous amount of muscle mass and stimulate the release of anabolic hormones such as testosterone. This is great for building muscle fast. The squat is probably the most revered exercise among serious lifters and the power rack is considered our sacred ground. If you ever want to develop any kind of real lower body strength and build muscle fast, you have no choice but to squat.

Try Lacrosse to Help Lose Weight
Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. Lacrosse is also the only sport that is native to the United States. Modern lacrosse is based on a game that Native Americans played when the Europeans came to the Americas. The Native American game involved a stick with a net and multiple smaller goals. The point of the game was to get the ball through the holes, only using the netted racquet. Although it is a very different game the same basic rule applied that one couldn’t use their hands to get the ball through the goal. Unlike the ancient game that was exclusively played by male players, modern lacrosse is a game that can be enjoyed by all genders and ages.
Lacrosse’s gain in popularity has given rise to a professional level lacrosse league which adds to the already popular collegiate level lacrosse. The rise of the professional league has caused younger players to adopt lacrosse over more popular sports. Even if you aren’t looking to play lacrosse on a competitive level, lacrosse still provides large amounts of entertainment and a good workout when you play.
Running is a major component of lacrosse. There is a lot of movement that is required in a game of lacrosse whether one is playing offense or defense, and whether a person is playing an attacker or defender. The buildup of endurance is important to improving your play during a game of lacrosse. If you are just looking to start playing it is important to start to get stick control. The rule of thumb of the game of lacrosse is the better you are at handling your stick; the better you will be as a player. The best way to start developing quality stick control is to start by getting a stick and ball and just throwing it against a wall. This will help you to learn how to pick the ball up on the move and the best way to pass and receive the ball. Passing back and forth with another person is another great way to get basic stick techniques down. When practicing with another person you can then start to practice moves on the run, which will help you when playing lacrosse. All of this running and movement will help you to lose weight, build your endurance, and help your performance on the field.

Lifting Weights To Build Muscle And Help With Weight Loss?
Well, I’m planning on starting a diet/workout routine, and I’ve heard that if you lift weights and build some muscle first, you burn calories faster and more efficiently. We have an elliptical, so I’ll be doing cardio on that, and I believe my mom has some of those little one arm weights hanging around somewhere. For someone who’s never done this sort of exercise, what weight should I start with, how should I do my workout, for how long, and how often? I’m 15 and about 40 lbs overweight for my height, and any advice is appreciated!
