Bene incorporating weighted chin ups, french press , strict curls , RDL, front squats for a long time. I do bodyweight dips, coz shoulder pain... Will start with Bulgarian from today.
Just found you from Natural Hypertrophy, your physique is an inspiration bro. Funny enough we are both 5'7 and 180 except you are extremely lean! Such an inspiration though!!!
All this mutual respect and adoration between the natty RUclips community makes me smile inside. It's just so nice to see a community thrive and successfully prevent many from taking PED's.
Yes indeed, unless we one day have a very safe PED exposure plan fully backed by science maybe we can talk about it, in the mean time, let’s stay natty and healthy, avoiding all those scams about SARMS and shit 🙏🏻
Dips are such an underrated exercise, happy to see them on your list bro 💪🏼 - I currently use them for getting a bigger bench press and have reached 165KG at a Bodyweight of 60 using the power to weight ratio dips produce. The best upper body strength builder
I added front squats at the beginning of the year. I have also noticed that they are easier on my knees. The squat just feels more natural, and I’m able to get good depth on them without pain. My current top set is 270lbs for 5 with 2-3 rir. I don’t typically push them super close to failure because the rack position gives out way before my legs. My goal by the end of the year is 315 for 5 at about the same rir. Your long term goal of 405 on a front squat would be super impressive. That’s an elite number not many will ever hit!
Sorry bro don’t know what happened with the RUclips studio app this comment got swapped with another one ! Still thrilled to have giga chad dad bod guy and fellow ginger like you here 🙏🏻
I've been working on OHP as my main press for about a month now (probably will keep this emphasis for maybe the next 6 months or so). I've been debating whether or not I should be doing chest flies (pec deck) to supplement my volume, but I think you have me convinced that dips are probably the natural answer. I love working my triceps with dip machines so I should be able to tolerate the triceps volume for heavy dips. I'll probably consider working in BTN presses once a week so that I'm keeping my shoulder mobility in check. PS: I absolutely love neutral grip weighted chinups. If I'm not super warmed up my brachialis can get a little cranky, but it's not like jumping into weighted supinated chinups (or overdoing weight on barbell preacher curls). While I do really like working the lengthen position for biceps, you are right to caution us as we get stronger. I really pay attention to how my joints feel during and after a workout. If something isn't right, I need to adjust my training immediately.
Wow, I think you might have the best physique of any natural alive I've seen. It is incredible, the amount of hard work, dedication, knowledge of programming, and dealing with injury, it's truly inspiring. The video is great too, definitely gonna implement those behind the neck should presses since my shoulders and lagging and I have some soreness issues. I really hope your channel becomes bigger and you upload more because you deserve it and also have so much wisdom to share. Thank you!
Thank you so much Mohid for the kind words, I will do my best, as for the natural physique, you should check out Samuel Hartman, other french natty but he is just humongous !
This video is highly appreciated, especially the fact that you give reasons and details on each lift. I feel grateful to have this kind of info, and you guys are doing amazing work for many bros around the world. 💫💪🏼
Hi, I was introduced to your channel through NH. Great list! I actually have 7 of the exercises you listed in my program. However, instead of the high incline press and RDL my preference is the standing strict OHP and Goodmornings.
Top tier content. Only thing missing imo is since you brought up your injuries like elbow tendinitis, is to say how to avoid the injuries and where you went wrong to get those injuries. As a person may see these exercises but then hear the injuries and then decide to leave said exercises out concluding they attributed to your injuries. Maybe a future video on this topic if you haven't done one already?
This was a very hard list to make. I think for bodybuilding purposes, this would be my list: 1. Overhead Press/Handstand Push-up/High Incline Press 2. Bench Press/Dip/Push-up 3. Pull-up/Pulldown 4. Rear Delt Row/Inverted Row/Face Pull 5. Upright Row/Lateral Raise 6. French Press/Skull Crusher 7. Biceps Curl 8. High Bar Squat/Front Squat/Leg Press 9. Leg Curl/Glute Ham Raise/Nordic Curl 10. Standing Calf Raise Obviously there are muscle groups and joint movements which are lacking, but because I'm limited to just 10, I had to make sacrifices... I think it's very important to include calves and hamstrings. It might sound crazy, but after thinking it through, I don't think hip hinge is a top 10 exercise. At least not for men (it would be #1 for females). If I was limited to just 3 exercises, it would be: Overhead Press, Pull-up, and Squat.
I love all of these! I personally trade the French Press for the “Katana” Rope Cable Extension, Wall Strict Curls for Incline Bench Dumbbell Curls, and Front Squat for SSB Squats! Great video!
Great list! You really sold me with the breakdown of the Bulgarian split squat, I'm gonna try them tomorrow. My gym also has the angled smith machine so I'm all set. Thanks man
Love your content, Hersovyac! Hello from Austin, TX, USA!!! Shoutout to NH for pointing us to your channel. You are an amazing inspiration! Cheers, man!!
Natural hypertrophy put me on this channel like others here. Cool as shit, another instant favorite to the natty “underground” RUclips fitness for me lol
Ello Yuchub and hoping you get that 6k subs soon and more videos here! Although most of your exercises are too hardcore for me, I will try some and if anyone asks how Spartans trained, I will show them your videos 😆💪
I am 1 year into natual bodybuilding and seen decent results using mostly PPL split. Through your 10 years of experience, what split is optimal if I feel I dont have enough time to keep working out 6x a week every week.
The bicep strict curl - great inspiration by Denis Cyplenkov the world record holder in the strict bicep curl :D those Russian arm-wrestlers really are beasts.
Well I wasn’t planning to do it since I feel like those videos are too long and boring for most but Omni Man convinced me to add mine to their library so here I am !
@@Hersovyac nah good thing you did, thoroughly enjoyed it! remember, we are all kind of nerds here for this kind of stuff! you have a valuable voice in the natty community just wish we'd hear it a little more often :D
I learn so much from these top 10 videos. Even though not every lift is for me I learn a lot from the reasoning as to why the lifts are in the top 10. Thank you.
You’re an inspiration! Your content is extremely helpful and incredible. Really appreciate the good work you do and the effort you put into training is quite commendable. 🙌
Ngl found your vid by chance last week and have to say you have great info and stuff that helps, began training my side neck, since I train my neck also
Front Squats is the king all hands down..I've also seen all my leg gains go stupidly up after i started doing these..But d only problem i face wid this exercise is my wrist joints hurts like hell, & m worrying everytime that in d longrun it would fook 'em up pretty bad.. I've tried to hold the barbell in my front delts like a shelf in crossing hands position but I just couldn't hold heavy ass weights in this position..Man I wish there was something I could do to execute this legendary movement while not putting my wrist at risk..
My favorite way to French Press is with a multi-grip bar and to use the neutral grips. It's by far the most comfortable and I can load it the heaviest.
I definitely agree with switching to front squat for quads for someone like myself that has long femurs notably with elevated heels. I do the Zercher squat since it is easier than a snatch grip or crossbody grip for les mobile wrists
Premier exercice et j’ai déjà envie de commenté, merci pour le partage et les explications liés à ton expérience ! Merci hersovyac et dsl flm de me concentré sur la réponse en anglais si tard mdrr
That’s because not everyone is patient and dedicated enough to build up the mobility and joint conditioning for these, but are fine doing Smolov bench cycles 😇
Hey Herso. Awesome video! You talked a lot about possible elbow tendinitis after heavy weighted chin ups and pull ups. I found weighted ring chin ups very natural and comfortable for my elbow. Have you ever tested that one?
I loved your perspective and exercise selection; thank you for sharing. Can I challange you a little, though? Why don't you perform the Klokov press with a full range of motion, i.e. to the traps at every rep? I ask because I assume that if you want to reap the prehab/"bulletproofing" benefits of this exercise, that would be the ideal approach, wouldn't you agree? I don't mind partials to maximize muscle growth, but we're talking about connective tissue capacity here.
Because those connective tissues are worked whenever you like it or not and that very deep rom with my long arms just add more recover time to the rotator cuff without any upgrade in conditionning. As such I prefer to cut the rom at the start of the neck and not lower
@@Hersovyac Thanks man, I was just wondering because all your natty contemporaries like Alex Leonidis and Alec Enkiri lower to the traps. Klokov does too in the video you showed. I've started to include them in my program and love them! Take care man and have a great weekend!
Hey man came from Natural Hypertrophy's channel and saw u were also a fan of Steeve Reeves. Steeve really liked to build the upper chest and shoulders. I was doing a lot of heavy weighted dips but that builds the lower part of the chest a lot right and makes the chest look a bit soggy so thats why I stopped doing them and only do flys and upper chest movements. But your chest does look great so wondered what your opinion is on how to build an aesthetic chest and how much it depends on the genetics. Also Steeve Reeves liked pullovers a lot to expand the chest but didnt see you mention that one is there a reason why you dont like them that much?
yes idk why you do with so many dips cause for me I feel like I'll overdevelop my lower chest and makes it look soggy. Thats why I asked maybe its genetic.
Great video. And great explanation. Question: You did not include any ab exercise, is it because you think all the other exercises will give sufficient engagement to the abs. 2 of our current mr. olympias Ryan Terry in Physique and CBum in Classic both included hanging leg raise in their Top 10. What do you think about an abs focused movement in the Top 10?
Ive been hb squatting on a slant board as ive got incredibly long legs relative to my torso, makes my knees feel so nice after but might have to throw in some front squats on the board too!
I was debating swapping out BTN press for DB OHP but you have convinced me otherwise to keep it in lol. I'm interested in trying the DB french press and strict curl
I really like that you choose front squats, smith squats, chin ups, and rdls (I prefer snatch grip). My only changes would be to make the incline barbell press a dumbell incline press, as the barbell targets my front delts and hits an awkward sticking point about mid way, where I begin to grind it through with my lats; whereas the dumbbells stretch out the upper pecs. Klokov press doesn't feel great either; there's an impingement on my rotator cuff as I press overhead.
As for klokov press, it really requires a lot of mobility and joint integrity, but it might also be the acromio bone who is too curved and pinching the supraspinatus tendon
@@Hersovyac I have the mobility, but I think you may be on to something with the pinching--it's the same reason I haven't been able to be flat barbell bench for a year. That pinch at the top of shoulder adduction feels terrible. I see you're using a wide grip for the incline. I'll give that a shot. I've always done it with a close grip for extra triceps.
Thanks for staying adamant about this lift. I raised it up a notch to 75 degrees and it felt amazing. I'll have to thank you for my future shoulder gains brother 💪
Awesome and huge congrats on all of your success bro! 🙌 Are you still doing a mostly full body routine? How do you maximize recovery when doing such a huge workload? Merci and all the best!
Hello, just discovered you from Natural Hypertrophy, great stuff. I am 6’1” decently athletic, but want to lift more. Thinking of doing just compounds (bench, over head press, pull up, rows, squat, deadlift) for 5x5. Would that build a decent physique? Any recommendations? Cheers!
Hey, really enjoyed the video but I have a minor criticism. I found it fairly difficult to hear you, I had to turn down the volume of everything else and turn the volume of Chrome up in order to be able to hear you properly. I'm not suggesting you shout at the camera or anything, I enjoy your quieter chill voice; I instead suggest that you increase the volume of the video in whatever editing software you use before uploading it. Thanks for the great list!

Let me know how it goes !
I love dips more than any other chest exercise but haven’t wanted to invest in it and lose chest gains I’ve made from presses.
Try them, literally no reason to lose gainz especially since you aren’t going to use it as a standalone
Big thanks to NH for sending me and so many others your way. Great work brother. Love your content.
NH is awesome, welcome to you man and thanks for the support !
Great video. Behind the neck press is so under appreciated these days. I like that I can do all of these in my home gym.
Yeah all those exercises are pretty simple yet effective and yes BTN Press is making a come back for sure !
BTN press and BTN pulldowns at the least made me flexible enough to scratch the middle of my back again.
You have so much potential bro, keen to see the channel grow
I will my man thanks !

Question: You did not include any ab exercise, is it because you think all the other exercises will give sufficient engagement to the abs. 2 of our current mr. olympias Ryan Terry in Physique and CBum in Classic both included hanging leg raise in their Top 10. What do you think about an abs focused movement in the Top 10?
Hanging leg raises are good
Nice content!
Thank you Leon
Merci bien !
Great content. Just subbed. Was thinking you would have some type of horizontal row in this???
Surprise ! Nope it’s « best » not « all good exercise for x muscle »
@@Hersovyac thank you
Ive been hb squatting on a slant board as ive got incredibly long legs relative to my torso, makes my knees feel so nice after but might have to throw in some front squats on the board too!
Very good !
you're something else bro. wish i had a beard like you.
Which i had a cool avatar like you
I was debating swapping out BTN press for DB OHP but you have convinced me otherwise to keep it in lol. I'm interested in trying the DB french press and strict curl
Don’t be afraid to rotate between the two, let say every 6-8 weeks !
I really like that you choose front squats, smith squats, chin ups, and rdls (I prefer snatch grip). My only changes would be to make the incline barbell press a dumbell incline press, as the barbell targets my front delts and hits an awkward sticking point about mid way, where I begin to grind it through with my lats; whereas the dumbbells stretch out the upper pecs. Klokov press doesn't feel great either; there's an impingement on my rotator cuff as I press overhead.
Thanks for your share bro. Are you sure you do it correctly ? A mid way sticky point with no upper chest seems odd. Maybe try in the smith ?
As for klokov press, it really requires a lot of mobility and joint integrity, but it might also be the acromio bone who is too curved and pinching the supraspinatus tendon
@@Hersovyac I have the mobility, but I think you may be on to something with the pinching--it's the same reason I haven't been able to be flat barbell bench for a year. That pinch at the top of shoulder adduction feels terrible. I see you're using a wide grip for the incline. I'll give that a shot. I've always done it with a close grip for extra triceps.
Thanks for staying adamant about this lift. I raised it up a notch to 75 degrees and it felt amazing. I'll have to thank you for my future shoulder gains brother 💪
Here because of Natural Hypertrophy. You are a freak man good stuff!
Thanks man and welcome !
Awesome and huge congrats on all of your success bro! 🙌
Are you still doing a mostly full body routine?
How do you maximize recovery when doing such a huge workload?
Merci and all the best!
Yes i am with some half body
@@Hersovyac fuck yeah brother! keeping it truly old school! Merci beaucoup :)
for someone with bad elbows-the french press is anything than friendly for the elbows,anything behind the back with streched elbows will make it worse
Yes, so fix your elbow
@@Hersovyac its maximum fixed but i doubt it will ever be the same
Hello, just discovered you from Natural Hypertrophy, great stuff. I am 6’1” decently athletic, but want to lift more. Thinking of doing just compounds (bench, over head press, pull up, rows, squat, deadlift) for 5x5. Would that build a decent physique? Any recommendations? Cheers!
Depends your strength level, check my beginner routine.
Hey, really enjoyed the video but I have a minor criticism. I found it fairly difficult to hear you, I had to turn down the volume of everything else and turn the volume of Chrome up in order to be able to hear you properly. I'm not suggesting you shout at the camera or anything, I enjoy your quieter chill voice; I instead suggest that you increase the volume of the video in whatever editing software you use before uploading it. Thanks for the great list!
Thanks man you aren’t the only one to complain about it I will do my best to correct that now. Thanks again also for the support !
