Luckily as someone with disabled hands (unusually weak, low stamina and cramp easily), I can't do a single pull up or chin up. I even tried for months to work my way up to get there every day on one of those machines where you can offset your weight.

High Bar Back Squat: Stan prefers this for quad development due to his specific body proportions. Cambered Bar Good Morning: A favorite hamstring exercise, placing stress on the hamstrings rather than the lumbar region. Bulgarian Split Squat: Stan likes this unilateral movement for its challenge. Incline Dumbbell Press: Provides a deep stretch and independent shoulder rotation, beneficial for chest development. Dips: Stan mentions the importance of cues like keeping the chest forward and wrapping the pecs around the rib cage. Seated Leg Curl: Preferred for hamstring development due to its ability to achieve full extension. Chin-Ups (Reverse Grip): Stan chooses this variation to engage the biceps more. Chest Supported Row: He prefers this for back training to avoid lumbar stress. Viking Press: A standing shoulder press with flexibility advantages. Seated Calf Raise: Stan acknowledges calf development can be influenced by genetics.

Stan Efferding's 10 Exercises Men Need to Build Muscle: Legs: - High Bar Squat: Better for quad development, especially for people with long femurs. - Cambered Bar Good Morning: Targets hamstrings and puts less stress on the lumbar. - Bulgarian Split Squat: Unilateral movement, good for quads. Use dumbbells for loading. Chest: - Incline Dumbbell Press: Allows for more depth, independent shoulder rotation, and less risk of injury. 45-degree arm angle. - Dips: Hits chest and triceps. Cues depend on focus-chest forward for pectorals, feet under for triceps. Add weight for resistance. Hamstrings: - Seated Leg Curl: Allows for better hamstring stretch compared to standing/lying versions. Back: - Chin-Up (Reverse Grip): Hits the back and biceps. - Chest-Supported Row: Lower fatigue, can train with more volume, less stress on the lumbar. Shoulders: - Viking Press: Pivot in front, good for those lacking flexibility for traditional presses. - Side Lateral Raise: Good for shoulder width. No arm-specific exercises are included, but biceps and triceps are hit indirectly via chin-ups and dips, respectively.

That’s a misleading headline/comment. He was forced to answer. He didn’t specifically set out to say these things. But I get you just wanted to list out what he said. A more appropriate first line would be “Stan efferding was asked, if he was forced to pick 10 exercises to maintain and build muscle what would they be? - here is his response: 1)…

1. High bar squat 2. Cambered Bar Good Morning 3. Bulgarian Split Squat 4. Slight Incline Dumbbell Press 5. Dips 6. Seated Hamstring Knee Hinge 7. Chinups reverse grip 8. Chest-supported Row 9. Viking Shoulder Press 10. Side Lateral Raise 11. Seated Calf raises

absolutely love the specificity that Stan has backing up why he picks all these!

I'm so pleased you got Stan on. He's the OG. Phenomenal knowledge.

I only need 8: Squat RDL Dip (found these to have the best carryover for any horizontal press. Better carryover to a flat bench than flat bench to a dip) Standing OHP Barbell Bent Over Row Pull-up Nordic Curl Bulgarian Split Squat Bonus if you want: Farmer's Walk Deadlift Lu Raise (Full ROM Lateral Raise Over Head)

I'd go: Pull (Pull-ups or rows, change your angles) Push (Dumbell bench or push-ups, change your angles) Rotate (Cable wood chopper for example) Y-raise or Facepull, maybe combine into one exercise Neck curl (Front and back) Squat (Split squat, vary quad and glute focus) Hinge (RDL) Side bend Leg curl Leg raise (To hit abs and hip flexors)

He's right about Samoans having huge calves. Pretty much all Polynesian/South Sea Islands as well. Was watching the Rugby World Cup recently and Josua Tuisova for Fiji has some of the most insane calves.

Switching to minimalist shoes about 10 years ago has drastically helped improve my calves.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Nice interview. Good chemistry. Well done.

Great episode. Thank you.

Ive been training since I was 16, im now 34. 6'1 215lbs lean. Never had a serious injury. Plenty strong and good cardio. My top 10: Conv Deadlift Back Squat Standing Strict Press Weighted Pullups Hill Sprints Lateral Raises Farmer Carry AB Rollout Pushups Inverted Ring Rows

Stan, is a classy guy...Very knowledgeable..

Only 10 workout to build muscle: 1. Barbell Squats 2. Flat bench press 3. Incline dumbbell press 4. Pec dec fly or machine fly 5. Lat pull down or pull ups 6. Barbell row 7. military press 8. lat raise 9. Bicep curl 10. Dips

1. Hack Squat 2. Romanian Deadlift 3. Incline Smith Press 4. Flat Dumbbell Press 5. Lat Pulldown (Wide Grip) 6. Chest Supported T Bar Row (Wide Grip) 7. Chest Supported DB Lateral Raise 8. Cable Y Raise 9. Preacher Curl Machine 10. DB Skullcrusher

This list is very good, I feel like cbum had too many upper body compared to lower body, but where the hell are lateral raises

I’d go 1. pull ups 2. Weighted dips 3. Back squat 4. Traditional deadlift 5. Incline dumbbell press 6. Barbell row 7. Bulgarian split squats 8. Dumbbells shoulder press 9. Hammer curls 10. Tricep extensions

I grew my calves playing rugby which I didn't go hard into until college, and I didn't really recall having magnificant calves before then, I think it's one of those muscle groups that just require an absorbent amount of load to train

I work as an Amazon delivery driver, so we walk a lot. It's more walking/running than driving because you basically drive 2 houses down and then run packages all day. I have HUGE calves compared to the rest of my body and I reckon it's because of that. I don't do much exercise outside of my job!

chin-up is supinated or neutral grip. Pronated is a pull-up

These are fkn gold Chris.

Mine are 1. Incline bench 2. Flat bench 3. Decline bench 4. Low bar squat 5. Front squat 6. Deadlift 7. Leg extensions 8. Seated overhead press 9. Standing overhead press 10. Strict bar curls

I'm with you on this one. I'm 50 yrs old and this list is what works best for me also. I also squeeze in face pulls for posture because of my age being and I'm a part time classical pianist (bending over playing piano keys) and I also squeeze in tricep extensions because I have a "thin" body type and I visibly am able to stay visually well muscle-defined.

My 10: 1. Squat - full range of motion 2. DB Romanian Deadlift (either single leg or not) 3. Dips 4. Chin Up / Pull Up 5. DB or Barbell Floor Press 6. Chest Supported Row 7. Walking DB Lunges 8. Cable Pull Throughs 9. Band / Cable Face Pulls 10. Sumo Deadlifts

Nice

Calf raises on leg press have always been the best calf raises I’ve ever done

Squat, dead lift, dips, Shoulder press, that's 4, If your doing dips for chest that also does shoulders and triceps. Squats and dead lift covers legs and some back. Shoulder press does shoulders and some upper chest. Arms are done because of the compound effect on smaller muscles. You could do some chin-ups for back and extra biceps. Squats also work calves, shoulder press also works abs. By my estimate you can get it all done in 5 exercises. I don't think you can do 10 exercises without doing some body parts twice. That's my 2 cents.

If I only had 10 muscles, which ones should I keep?

Definitely have to go with the rectus abdominis, glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves, erector spinae just to ensure we can walk for the most part, then deltoids, lats, forearms, and biceps to get most of the use out of our arms.

1 bench press 2 squat 3 deadlift 4 military press 5 dumbbell curls 6 shoulder lateral raises 7 tricep press down 8 dips 9 seated calf raises 10 lat pull down

The biggest, most carved and shelfed calves I've seen have seen were a few guys that don't lift, never lifted, and aren't athletic. You either got'em or you ain't got'em. No calve lift method I've ever tried, even going 20 sets to failure hardly create any DOMS for me. Walking barefoot all day causes more DOMS. So, as Stan stated, I fully believe it's mostly DNA and how a person walks.

People always forget to put some core work in there. It would be more balanced. Hanging leg raises, toe's to bar is what I'd throw in there.

SBD, Pull Ups just my guess before I watch the video

I this series

High bar squats are definitely better than low bar for building your quads

This is my game 😂

There’s quite a difference between “If you only had ten exercises” and ‘The only ten exercises you need’.

knee hinge? What exercise is he referring too at 4:58?

Hamstring seated leg curl

Not bad, not bad... Its about 56 times better, than what Heath said, but i like a little more what CBum choosed. This list is a little bit minimalistic with no direct arms work, but its good, its really good. Well, its Stan Efferding, how could it be bad.

I can vouch for the large calf community. Genetics is the biggest component. Mine are a 9.5/10 even if I don't train them. It's all about the calf to ankle ratio too. If it makes you feel any better. My biceps make me sad no matter how hard I train 😆🥲

Chris, I came here for Stan's opinion.

0:08 Jesus what is it with that crazy stare?

If you want ripped calves, work on single foot balance exercises

Calves are definitely one part genetic and one part the stimulus they get. I’ve played soccer for close to 20 years and my calves are great because of the nature of that sport and the load placed on the calves. I can probably count on 2 hands the amount of times I’ve trained calves in the gym

I dunno if it's a coincidence but I've noticed people who do those box jumps have big calves...could jumping make your calves grow?

@Freshprankstv1

Yeah and pulling trucks, sleds and farmers walk. That’s why strongmen have really big calves

Dude on the thumb looks like a Space Marine

It's a tough question to have to quickly answer and opine on, maybe a better way is to just phrase it a little more general, Hey Stan what are you top workout excercise movements? Why ten, maybe alls you need is 5, or maybe someone like Stan needs 15, it's all relative and no need to get so specific and dogmatic.

This is list only three exercises as for “need”. Dips, chins, lunges.

11. Steri-yereee-oids

If it was me: Deadlift Single Leg Deadlift High bar squat Bulgarian Split Squat Farmer’s Walks Overhead Press Push Ups Dumbell Incline Press Pullups Dumbell Rows

I would choose strongman exercises

As someone with great (never trained) calves and shitty arm genetics....I'll trade you Stan

BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT ON SMITH MACHINE!

this guy makes the rock look like a clone

8:30 best calf exercise is walking. If you know how to walk properly you have good calves. But "walking properly" is also genetic depending on your brain and your leverages.

The speaker discusses different exercises and techniques for working out triceps, chest, and hamstrings. 6:39: 💪 Chest supported rows are advantageous for back training as they allow for more volume and reduce stress on the lumbar spine. 8:39: 🏋 The size of your calves is determined by genetics and factors like weight and walking.

Why does it have to be fast? Everyone wants fast, but that’s a losing game, what you should be after is consistency. Constant gains, not quick.

My traps are like Stans calves.

No calf crew checking in...

Algorithm

10 is waay overkill. ( 1x Horizontal Upper Pull/Push Compound, 1x Virtical Upper Push/Pull Compound , 1xLower Push Pull Compound)

Don't forget the eleventh exercise where you put the needle in your arm! Not inspired by dopers

TEN DUDE TEN -- GET OFF RIODS

I dont like top 10 - how about the minimum tk cover your whole body

Bet you anything that all the commenters commenting “Steroids “ don’t workout lol😂

I've seen about 20 of these videos over KZread over the last couple of weeks all saying different things 😂 all exercise has its benefits. Just get up and move first and foremost and don't paralyze yourself with all the nonsense on KZread. It's just a competition between these people to see who's opinion can be the most popular.

Such a dumb question though. People always want top 3, 5, 10 choices. Truth is the pros do it all. So shutup. Do the work.

NO! its my rules!

Zoomer here. I choose SARMs and vidya.

And lots of PEDs

And steroids XD (Chill peeps, dude works hard, I know, but roids are what gave him his speed. Natural is slow)

now do calisthenics

Im guessing steroids…but that’s just me

Good morning dangerous don't ever do them doesn't do anything he has no thighs so the squat done nothing for him because it's not about the exercises your doing it's about the genetics your born with

This.guy doesn't know what he's talking about he knows nothing about what exercises to do the seated leg curls and lateral only ones he got right
