[110%]

chest: incline barbell press, incline dumbell press

quads: squats, leg press
hams: lying leg curls, stiff legged deadlifts
shoulders: overhead barbell press, seated dumbell press
biceps: standing barbell curl, seated alternating dumbell curls
triceps: tricep pressdown, lying french extensions

those are always my top choices when developing a new routine

i had tried every kind of chest exercize and never made big gains in my chest. Then i tried declines. And all of a sudden my chest is noticeably bigger.

For back i love lat pulldowns.

alternating DB curls for biceps

overhead barbell press for shoulders

and rope pulldowns for triceps.

[gymtime]

delt: leaning db lateral raises
shoulders in general: db mil press, upright rows
back: deads, bent rows (bar or db)
legs: squats, bar lunges

 

[the nature boy]

hey gymtime, what kind of a bar do you use with reverse skull crushers? do you use less weight and if you did normal skull crushers?

 

[gymtime]

Si senor. You'll want to start out with less weight because they're very awkward if you've never done them. They'll also put a strain on your wrists, but that will go away if you keep doing them. What I like about them is they force you to use good form because it's impossible to stick your elbows out, they're forced in.

Use the ez bar, wide grip.
