Basic exercises

Basic exercises are complex, multi-joint movements that engage large muscle groups simultaneously. 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, increasing strength, and improving functional fitness, as they train not only individual muscles but entire muscle chains. Whether beginner, advanced, or professional - basic exercises form the foundation of intelligent and professional strength training. The combination of EISENHORN fitness station and MIKE5 training concept offers the perfect setup for training these Big 5.
