The ONLY Exercises You Need to Be Jacked (EVERY MUSCLE!)

If you could only do one exercise for your chest what would it be? What about your back? Biceps? In this video I’m going to cover the only exercise you need for every muscle group so that you can select those that will hit your muscles the best and help them grow the fastest, especially if you’re sh

what’s up guys Jeff Cavalier aex. com Jesse Leo aex. com so today we’re going to have a little bit of fun together if you could only do one exercise four insert muscle group well guess what we’re going to do 16 different muscle groups and we’re going to give our favorite exercises if we can only pick one for each of them but here’s a Twist oh boy yeah so I’m going to write down what I think Jeff’s favorite exercise is and Jeff’s going to write down what he thinks my favorite exercise is and then what we reveal them at the same time we reveal them at the same time all right let’s do it let’s start what we always do guys with chest all right now just to clarify this is for overall chest overall chest we’re doing upper lower later okay cool doesn’t matter mine doesn’t change oh God doesn’t change L eye crossover what that’s how I got my reasons go I picked the dumbbell bench press for you cuz I know you like the Press when you train your chest but I know your shoulders are jacked up and the barbells not very comfortable so you hit the dumbbells yes the dumbbells have actually afforded me the ability to actually continue pressing long after the barbell bench press is tough for me cuz my torn lab room and rotator cuff but that’s a good Choice I’m going to agree with you so why why did you pick low to high crossover well so you’ve not just once but 1, times share with me how you really enjoy how you look when you’re doing a low to high crossover and how juicy you look so I figured even if you had a whole bunch of other options you would not foro doing the low high crossover well you’re half right I do love that exercise I do love that clip but I would choose the barbell bench press because I moving more weight than I ever have before true and not I notic I don’t increase the weight on the dumbbells as much so I’m kind of addicted to moving weight so it’s a self motivating exercise yeah you going to write I don’t need to I’ve already got my selection am I right yes you’re right I do love that exercise I mean at least it’s appropriate now yeah so I wrote for you dumbbell incline bench press uh I’d say you’re almost right but I like cable incline bench press really because I don’t have to worry about the sacrifice of the weight as much you cables and I definitely feel more of a contraction in my upper chest when I do that I can set the cables a little bit out so I get some adduction into it at the same time but you’re right it’s definitely going to be an incline Ben press but probably cables more than dumbbells just personally for me I’m ready three two one reveal what do you got weighted dips weighted dips hey look at that agree we finally agree yes uh I will clarify something for you though oh my weight to dips I would definitely do my one and a half style weight to dips meaning go down all the way come up halfway go down again and then come up yeah and I do them in drop set fashion where I do the weight to dip then I strip the weight off when I go to failure and then I do them again in byway fashion so a drop set technically you’re almost right drop set doing the one and a half style all the way to failure both halves okay I like it cuz I’m able to use weight on it obviously and also I don’t get a feeling in my lower chest in any other exercise as much as I do with the weight to dip don’t cheat I’m not cheating all right ready yeah three two one what do you got one arm high cable row he watches my Instagram I watch your Instagram and your YouTube videos I shoot the YouTube videos so that that actually is true now I’m saying this is my favorite right this is my favorite I love that exercise for hitting the lats you get a good stretch I like to be on my feet I like the fact that I get a good contraction because yes that matters too all the above I would actually say that’s one of my favorite that is my favorite you’re right that’s me so you were incorrect on the barbell Road really I don’t like that exercise as much as you might think I would well you know what they say what do the things you don’t like to do if you want to get better Jesse fair but my favorite is a straight arm push down um really yeah because honestly I get a great contraction on the lats and I get a good stretch and it’s helped me with my deadlift so I feel a little indebted to it okay I got you all right so fair enough again these are your choices so even if they suck you know this my favorite right I know your favorite ready am I right you’re right and you know how I know I’m right why cuz every time I see you train your biceps you do this gosh darn exercise every single time so two exercises technically so this the barell stri curl up against the wall go to failure step out cheat a little bit on the way up and then slowly centc on the way down but yes that is my go-to every single time I train my bicep yeah you got this one right uh well I don’t really feel my biceps as great as you might think I would um what’s that mean cuz they’re so impressive yeah exactly exactly but um I do like being able to feel the contraction at one at a time and be able to look and see that I’m really you know getting getting the weight up and really Contracting real all right and you know why I use that by the way you saying if it ain’t broke don’t fix it well you have a broken bicep so oh that’s a that’s let’s low that’s a cheap shot all right ready sure am three two one line triceps extension that’s true how about this close it’s one of it’s one of my favorites but it’s not right so I figured it had to be one of the exercises that has your arms out in front of your body am I at least close you’re close because his his lateral head of his triceps is much better developed than mine so what is it close grip bench press there you go guys this is an example of not always making your favorites the ones that you do all the time because mine is probably underdeveloped in the lateral head because I don’t do enough of that and of course my overd development comes from the line Tri of extension line Tri of extension where I got that one right a good stretch at the top I’m no dick if watch that video I know how to do it right you get a good stretch you don’t start and stop with it over your face but that is definitely the right answer for me okay ready good good three two one dumbbell front raise overhead press you’re right I’m right cuz I know how wrong you are oh come on well I knew you picked this I’m not going to argue that if you want one overall shoulder developer we’re talking about front delts here so front delts here I wouldn’t pick the overhead press but I knew you would yeah and by the way you have a nice overhead press press which is why I think you probably give it more credit than you yeah I mean it’s help with my bench press a lot but it is a great shoulder exercise again shoulder but front dels I’m going to go with the front rise and I don’t care what anybody says if you want to develop your front delt you can develop it really nicely by having some focused work towards it what I would do here though is perform it from the seated position on the incline bench okay so that basically in the down position I have a little bit of a stretch in the front delts you don’t get from just standing so I’m half right half right here we go middle Dallas cheat laterals for you cable lateral R for you I can I can almost swap these cards exactly and it’ll be right for me was I right yeah you’re right I love I love that I love this exercise so the cable lateral raise guys gives you that extra stretch on the middle delt across your body to start it which I love an
