There are countless exercises recommended by countless experts for changing the way your body looks. And every guru seems to have a different approach.

If you don’t have a PhD in kinesiology, you just might end up with a mental hernia.

As a result, I am going to reveal some of the best exercises for changing different regions in your body.

Here are some of the best exercises for the following effects:

1. A Bigger chest: Most people will recommend the standard bench press as the king of chest development. Some solid research, however, has shown that benching with dumbbells instead of barbells is better for overall chest growth. This happens because with dumbbells you activate less shoulder muscle.

2. A broader upper back: How many times have you seen someone doing pull downs to the back of their head? Well, this is not very good for their posture and not as effective as pull downs to the front of their head.

3. Wider deltoid (shoulder) muscles: Most people do lateral raises or dumbbell raises. And while these are good exercises, nothing beats overhead dumbbell presses. These will do a great job at making your shoulders wider which creates the image of a smaller waist.

4. Bigger quadriceps muscles: Most people looking for bigger quads will do regular back squats. The problem with this, however, is that regular back squats target the hamstrings and glutes. If you want to increase the size or definition of your quads, front squats are the way to go.

Now I strongly advise that you don’t get overwhelmed by all the different recommendations out there. If you were to try to absorb information from all the different sources, you’d end up paralyzed.

Instead, just start incorporating these exercises into your current routines and pay attention to which ones are working for you. And taking action is critical here, or else you will forget what you have learned!
