GET A BUNCH OF SMART TRAINERS STARTED on
their favorite workout secrets, and it can be hard
to stop ’em.
Last spring, Experience Life went looking for
the kind of underhyped, underused exercises that
more of us should be doing more often — the kind
that leave one feeling the hurts-so-good difference
that can only mean new muscle.
We hit up a handful of nationally known, cutting-edge trainers for the moves they deemed most worth
working into your routine. They responded with six
terrific selections (which, if you haven’t incorporated them into your routine already, can be found
in the May 2010 archives at experiencelifemag.com).
And then they kept on responding.
So, here again to spice up your workout are
six more often-overlooked but highly effective
strength-training exercises, all well worth a place
in your rotation.
As before, our experts have road-tested their
choices on pro athletes and average gym-goers
alike. You’ll see how to execute these movements,
what they’re good for and which conventional
exercise each one most closely replicates.
And there are options here for your lower body,
your upper body and your core, so no matter
what’s on the docket for today, you’ll be able to
make one of these new classics your own.
