The “Golden 5 Exercises” refer to a set of five compound exercises that target multiple muscle groups, promoting strength, muscle growth, and overall fitness. These exercises are often considered essential for a balanced workout routine. The Golden 5 exercises typically include:
- Squat – A lower-body exercise that targets the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and core.
- Deadlift – Focuses on the lower back, glutes, hamstrings, and core, while also engaging the upper body.
- Bench Press – A chest exercise that also works the shoulders and triceps.
- Overhead Press (or Military Press) – Primarily targets the shoulders, triceps, and upper chest.
- Pull-ups (or Lat Pulldowns) – A vertical pulling movement that targets the lats, biceps, and upper back.
These exercises are often included in strength training programs because they provide a full-body workout and help to build a strong foundation.
