An introduction to the big three lifts

Let us be honest, everyone likes a bicep curl. If you've just embarked on a strength training program, you should be focusing on what trainers call the “Big 3”, compound exercises that give you the biggest bang for your buck. The back squat works on a number of muscles in your lower body, including the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, hip flexors and calves. The deadlift: This intense move works on a number of body parts, including all those in the lower back, core and legs. The Bench Press: This is a great move to increase upper body strength, get great arms and pecs and look like a bad-ass on Instagram.
