There was a point in time when bodybuilding and building muscle was simple.
You simply worked hard on the basic exercises-and ate good wholesome food like whole milk and whole eggs and steak-and you gained muscle.
O.K.
I will admit that the bodybuilders of the fifties and sixties did not have the ultra thin skin and ultra deep cuts that are needed to win today-but they did have plenty of muscle.
Plus to fair, serious cuts, like the kind that are common today, were simply not in vogue back then, so you really cannot blame the bodybuilders of that era for this.
HOW THEY TRAINED
Most bodybuilders of the fifties and sixties trained hard and heavy-to put it another way-they not only looked powerful-they WERE powerful.
FORGOTTEN EXERCISES
While some exercises that bodybuilders do today-like squats-were popular back then, some exercises have gotten lost in the shuffle.
This is a shame, because these exercises were effective back then-and are still effective today.
PULL-OVERS
You do not see too many bodybuilders doing pull-overs today and this is a shame.
Pull-overs work the chest, lats, and triceps.
Plus they will help stretch out the rib cage, helping give depth to your chest.
OVERHEAD PRESS
If you want to build massive shoulders-shoulders that get attention-then you must include some form of overhead work for them.
By some form of overhead presses, I mean, you can either use dumbbells or a barbell.
I prefer dumbbells as I feel they are easier on the shoulders, but barbell overhead presses work great as well.
Overhead presses will, as stated above, help you build massive shoulders, but they will also help pack mass on your middle back and triceps.
If that was all they did, it would be enough, but they do one more thing that I consider almost more important that what I stated above.
They help keep the rotator cuff muscles strong.
Back in the fifties and sixties rotator cuff injuries were unheard off-mainly because the overhead press was the main upper body exercise that most people did-before the bench press took over.
Trust me on this-keeping your rotator cuff muscles strong is vital-ask anyone who has ever tried to train with a bad shoulder-it is tough to do.
CONCLUSION
There you have it, two old school-blast-from-the-past exercises that you can start doing today.
Exercises that will help pack muscle on your shoulders, back and triceps-good stuff!
