Master the Fundamentals: Strength Through Essential Movements
Essential movements like squats, horizontal presses, deadlifts, and vertical presses are foundational to building strength and stability in the body. Squats serve as a key measure of lower body and back strength, emphasizing stability as you move bilaterally. The horizontal press, exemplified by the bench press, focuses on pushing strength and reinforces the ability to move objects away from the body. Deadlifts engage the posterior chain, highlighting hip strength, back strength, and grip strength as one lifts objects from the ground. The vertical or overhead press challenges overall body stability, along with arm and shoulder strength. Incorporating bodyweight exercises further enhances foundational strength and functional fitness.
