I have seen this on other forums and thought it was a good idea to start this thread here.

What top 3 movements/exercises have helped the most to bring up your big 3?

I'm weak as hell but here goes.....

Bench: military press, speed work, paused close grip
Squat: Box squat, Squats with bands, GHR
Deadlift: suspended GM, DL from deficit, Romanian DL

Squat: Safety bar squats, Good mornings, band squats
Bench: Triples in the shirt, Rotating boards, All lat work
Dead: Heavy speed deads, Reverse bands, GMs.

deadlift - top end work

Doing the actual exercises and using progressive overload.

[WillKuenzel]

Squat: squats, squats, squats
bench: bench, squat, rack presses
deadlift: deadlift, squat, rack pulls


I'm not advanced beyond the point where the basics aren't getting me stronger. I have found tremendous success with doing rack lockouts for my bench but other than that the exercises themselves are still making me stronger. By doing the lifts more often under varying waves of intensity and volume I've done better than really trying anything else. My squat is still getting better, my bench has stalled slightly but that's another issue and my deadlift is still moving up right behind my squat.

More squatting.
