INNOVATIVE EXERCISES CREATED BY LEGENDARY BODYBUILDERS

If you’re new to strength & conditioning, you might find our exercise naming system to be quite confusing. 

Some exercises are logical in naming, for example a high bar full squat, or a prone rear delt raise. 

Some are named after countries, for example a Bulgarian split squat or Romanian deadlift, and 
some are named after people, for example an Anderson squat or a Zercher squat.

You may have noticed that there are a lot of exercises named after boys. Interestingly i can  recall one workout routine named after a woman, do you know which one ?

Any exercise has the potential to be dangerous if you do it incorrectly or you have pre-existing issues such as poor flexibility, weakness, or injuries. 

For example, the Barbell good mornings could cause back injury, but if you are strong and healthy, it’s not really any more dangerous than deadlifts or bent over rows. 

Use your common sense and, if an exercise causes pain, drop it from your workouts. 
Also, when learning a new exercise, start light and only increase your weights when you have mastered it.

Exercises fall in and out of fashion,some of the exercises that past bodybuilders used to rely on are no longer popular, and some are hardly remembered. 

That’s a real shame because, despite losing their popularity, these exercises are still excellent muscle builders.

Old-school bodybuilders knew a lot about sculpting massive muscles. Without the aid of sophisticated machines, supplements, or mega-doses of steroids, they built amazing physiques that are still impressive today.

The next time you need a new exercise for your workout, why not try some of the best forgotten exercises?

You can achieve notoriety in strength sports by winning championships and setting world records but sometimes, an athlete etches their name into the history books by creating or popularizing a movement that is so effective and essential to the craft that, soon enough, it bears their name

Image
.On behalf of the members of Devanga Sangha, Devanga Hostel Road Bengaluru, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to our founding members for devoting their time and resources for establishing Devanga Sangha Bengaluru in the year 1923/24.

Naismith was tasked with creating a new indoor game to keep his students physically active during the winter months. He developed the basic rules of basketball and used a soccer ball and two peach baskets as goals. The first official game of basketball was played on December 21, 1891, and it quickly gained popularity, eventually evolving into the global sport we know today.
