Overview

  • BILD and Chip.de highlight squats, pull-ups, deadlifts, bench press and shoulder press as the foundation of effective muscle-building plans.
  • Coverage explains that multi-joint movements recruit stabilizers and allow higher loads, supporting faster hypertrophy than isolation exercises.
  • Implementation tips include starting around three sets of 10 reps, training each lift at least weekly, and increasing the weight incrementally to drive progress.
  • Safety guidance urges supervised learning for deadlifts with light implements first, a spotter for heavy benching, and bands or negatives to scale early pull-ups.
  • FIT FOR FUN underscores at-home gains via bodyweight progressions alongside recovery priorities and protein-focused nutrition of about 2 g per kilogram of bodyweight.
