Big/main lifts (squat, deadlift, overhead press and bench press) + some accessory lifts (either variation of the main with more volume or something different that assists the main lifts) when the schedule allows.
I do them heavy. I increment the weight nearly every workout (even by 1-2lbs in upper body lifts). And of course, make sure I move around during the day (it helps with lifting as well)
- ianpurton 4y agoI would add pull ups as a big lift, but otherwise that's solid advice.
- wreath 4y agoI think of big lifts as ones that involve large muscle groups over a long range of motion, so I think of pull ups as assistance or accessory. They help a ton in the main lifts for sure. Do them anyway regardless of category :D
- Scarbutt 4y agoI would add barbell row to those four.
