STRENGTH

EXERCISES
BECOME THE EXPERT

INTRODUCTION
If you want to get strong, you can select a squatting
movement, pushing movement and pulling
movement and simply progressively load them (add
weight over time).

Most good programs tend to stick to the basics and


concentrate on building movement skills and tracking
progress.

This being said, any real expert should have a full


range of tools at their disposal. Especially if you are a
strength coach who works with a broad range of
clients: Novice gym goers, experienced lifters and
world-class athletes all tend to enjoy some variety in
their training.

THE 8 MOVEMENTS
A while back, I published a Strength Training book
and the chapters progressed through our BIG
Human Movements with multiple exercises for each:
1. Hinge
2. Squat.
3. Lunge (Single-Leg)
4. Push
5. Pull
6 & 7. Brace & Rotate (Core Strength)
8. Gait

This PDF lists the free weight exercises in each


chapter + the final chapter on Advanced Training
Techniques.
