Basic exercises

Basic exercises are complex, multi-joint movements that engage large muscle groups simultaneously. Some of the most well-known include squats, deadlifts, bench press, shoulder press, and pull-ups – also known as the Big 5.

Basic exercises are essential for muscle building and increasing strength, as well as improving functional fitness, since they target not only individual muscles but entire muscle chains. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or professional, basic exercises form the foundation of an intelligent and professional strength training routine.

The combination of the EISENHORN strength station and the MIKE5 training concept offers the perfect setup for training these Big 5 exercises.
