    *If your hips are loose, pain free and moving well, all 13 of these lifts will be instantly improved!
    Getting started with weight training can feel overwhelming for the beginner lifter... I get it! So as a Strength Coach who's been working with people for over 20 years I felt compelled to make an indepth barbell training video that thoroughly breaks down 13 of the most important exercises for the beginner lifter. Of course there are others... but I chose these on purpose!
    Barbell Workout for Beginners that help with Total Body Training. Here are the 13 essential barbell exercises to add to your workouts for total body strength.
    1. Bent Over Row
    2. Overhead Press
    3. Squat
    4. Deadlift
    5. Bench Press
    6. Close Grip Press
    7. Curl
    8. Arm Extension
    9. Shrug
    10. Upright Row
    11. Lunge
    12. Step Up

    As a girl who has always wanted to try deadlifts and different barbell exercises but been too scared to approach the "male" part of the gym THANK YOU! I bought myself a home barbell to practice some technique so I can get the confidence to then go into that part of the gym and start increasing weights once I've got technique sorted. Thanks for doing this video & making everything so simple and not making us beginners feel stupid 🥰

    Great video! I used to do pretty much all these exercises in my front room over 40 years ago in the winter as training for bike races. I got them from a book and luckily managed to keep good form - as I can see from your demo. I keep meaning to use my barbell again but never get round to it. Now I’ve seen your great demos I think I have the confidence to start again. Also, I think I’ll be ok just limiting myself to these 13. It is easy to get confused with all the variations out there.

    Hey bro i recently got diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis and lost a lot of muscle mass and strength few months ago. So now I've joined gym to get in shape from last 15 days. i can only lift 5kg - 7.5kg of dumbell max and can't do much with barbells. Should i just focus on Improving with Dumbbells now and barbell later when i get enough strength or keep trying with Barbells simultaneously.

      You could do it in one session. Some people do full body three times a week. But you’re going to be worn out if you add intensity and volume. Most people start off with squats first some with OHP but usually with me when I do full body when I do squats first I’m worn out by the time I get to the smaller muscle groups. And I can’t lift my heaviest on my squats when I do the smaller muscle groups first. Give it a try and see how you feel

    As a beginner who has had a spinal fusion and now rods in my back, I am going to ensure I start with just bar weight on these. I have been hesitant to try any complex compound movements due to my back history. I am taking a HUGE fitness turn in my life and now these type of exercises seem beneficial with proper preparation and time. I have used my back as a huge excuse for so many things in my life that have kept me from doing things that looking back on would have been good for me. It is a serious back issue, so thanks for helping me understand form and what to do in these exercises!

    Thank you for the guide! still (relatively) new to gym stuff. Have not been able to have access to a barbell (for numerous reasons) nor have I been able to have someone to learn from. This definitely helps with my anxiety from not knowing what to do at the gym, especially barbell exercises.
    Some questions: for exercises like the bench press, close grip, and skull crusher, If I dont have a spotter and the exercise suddenly gets too demanding (too heavy or fatigued) is there a way to set up the rack to act as a safety spot? On a similar note, for the good morning and Overhead press, how will i know whats the proper height to set up for the exercise and what is a good way to (apologies for lack of a better term) "disengage" from the exercise if it gets too heavy to rack it back up?
    Thanks again!

      This is a tough question to answer without seeing the set up you have. Ideal you'd have access to a power rack that has safety bars/features for all of those lifts.
      If you're relatively new, and don't have a ton of equipment I'd stick to dumbbells which are easily able to dump off the side or onto the ground so that you don't drop any weight on yourself. Eventually you'll be comfortable enough and have the confidence to move heavier weights without fear of injuring yourself. Just stay they path 💪

      @@Criticalbench sorry, im not too good at explaining myself. But the set up is exactly as shown in the video. Working up the courage to finally sign up for a gym membership and make use of the barbell rack. Same questions above still applies.
      I think its also a worry of unintentionally picking too high a weight or burned out without knowing what to do to re-rack especially if im by myself. Not sure if it was explained in another video; just stumbled upon this and the channel! Thanks again!

    Thx for the great video- can you recommend a training program/ schedule for beginners wanting to lift 3 times a week.

    • @Criticalbench
      @Criticalbench  4 года назад +1

      The best program is the one that works for you. Honestly there are millions of good programs out there, it depends on your goals, your current level of health, and your access to equipment.

      Hi Murthy.. Coach Chris here... for a three-day a week muscle building plan I'd recommend a push day, a pull day and a full body day. So one day dedicate your movement to all pushing like squats, overhead press, bench press and tricep work. Another day would be all pulling like deadlifts, pull-ups, rows and bicep work. And then your third day would be a combination of push and pull hitting the entire body. That'd be a great approach for just 3 days per week! 👊💪👍
