Monster Lift #1 Deadlifts
Deadlifts are king for a full body workout. Dead-lifts work the back, shoulders, legs and to build muscle size
By forcing you to pick up a weight from the floor, this complex exercise works nearly every muscle in the body and builds on a fundamental movement pattern: the hip hinge.
While most people are quad dominant, the dead-lift emphasizes development of the posterior chain, including the hamstrings, glutes and hips.
While performing a dead-lift, your form is critical in order to benefit from the movement.
If you have never dead-lifted before, you may want to start off light until you get your from on point.
Monster Lift #2 Barbell Bench Press
We all know that Monday is chest day and all the gyms across the world are filled with lifters stacking on plates to the barbell while the guy next to you asks, “how many more sets you got?”
Barbell bench press is the “mother” of all chest pressing movements and can be very effective to building chest size and strength.
Increasing your bench is what every lifter wants to achieve and can be done by using the right program that apply mechanical tension.
In others words, heavy ass weight.

Monster Lift #3 Barbell Squats
We’ve all heard if before, “Never skip leg day.”
Squats are great for overall leg development. Squats will primarly build hams, glutes, quads even your core when kept nice and tight on the way down.
Training your legs can be very challenging and require motivation. Leg workouts aren’t fun at times. Everyone loves chest and arms day but one muscle group that tends to take a back seat is legs.
If you want to increase testosterone naturally then training your legs twice a week is going to benefit you.
Monster Lift #4 Barbell Shoulder Press
The Barbell Shoulder press is a great mass builder that leads to a set of shoulders that look like cannonballs.
Some say that the barbell shoulder press is a better upper body developer than the standard barbell bench press.
One of the reasons why this is a great mass builder is because it’s harder to cheat than doing a standard standing over-head shoulder press.
The other BIG benefit is that it produces more testosterone and will develop the chest just as well as any other exercise.
Conclusion?
Putting together ALL 4 of these movements will help you to get stronger and build muscle size pretty fast.
