Nippard is back offering his best instructions for performing three exercises designed to build muscle. He not only provides reasons for why these exercises work but elaborates on how to set up each maneuver to reap the most benefits possible while lifting weights.
Jeff Nippard’s 3 New Bodybuilding Exercises for Muscle Growth
Check out Nippard’s three exercises below:
- Meadows-style incline lateral raise
- Bottom half smith squats
- Moto cable rows (modified)
Meadows-style incline lateral raise
Nippard favors Meadows-style incline lateral raises because they provide adequate resistance from the dumbbell all while keeping your delt fully stretched.
“First, a Meadows-style incline lateral raise where you alternate between going behind your back and in front of your body. These are so good because by lying against an incline bench you get most resistance from the dumbbell while your delt is most stretched.”
Bottom half smith squat
During bottom half smith squats, Nippard can appreciate the deep stretch and the intensity of this movement because the body never rests at a full lockout.
“Second, bottom half smith squats. These are brutal because you never get to rest at full lockout. Your quads are just continuously hammered in the deep stretch. I actually somewhat look forward to doing these though, they are a fun new challenge each week.”
Moto cable rows
When performing modified moto cable rows, Jeff Nippard tucks his elbows to his side for the best results.
“Third, moto cable rows because your whole body is braced against the floor, these give a very secure feel. And because this cable is free to move, you can lock into the plane of motion where you feel your lats the best. For me, that’s with my elbow more tucked into my side,” said Jeff Nippard.
In addition to his latest offering, Jeff Nippard has shared his four quad exercises that you’ve probably never heard of, all of which emphasize a deep stretch. From the lower body to the upper body, Nippard’s knowledge and ability to hit each body part is what makes his content so valuable.
Drawing on his expertise as a bodybuilder and powerlifter, Jeff Nippard is committed to offering fans simple yet effective workouts. Feel free to try out his three movements, courtesy of his Pure Bodybuilding Program.
