2905: How to Build an Aesthetic Physique | Best Exercises for Chest Back Shoulders and Legs

In this episode the guys break down the best exercises to sculpt the physique men actually train for — covering incline press for upper chest development, deadlifts and barbell rows for back thickness and width, standing overhead press with rear delt flies for that rounded shoulder cap, and barbell squats with Romanian deadlifts for complete lower body development. They explain why most guys develop flat-looking chests by neglecting the upper portion, why powerlifters often have more impressive looking backs than bodybuilders, and why rear delt development is one of the most technically misunderstood movements in training.
