So many people get a gym membership with dreams of developing a lean, muscular physique, but very few people actually achieve it.  My goal is to help you understand why some people pile on muscle, while others struggle to make any changes at all.

The main keys to transforming your physique include:  goal setting, developing the right mindset, eating foods that help you build muscle/lose fat, workout at the gym effectively and take time to recover properly.  In this article I am going to give you 5 exercises that are proven to pile on muscle from head to toe.

1. Squats are the number one, most effective exercise to help you develop a strong, muscular body. No other exercise even comes close. If you are not squating, you are missing a huge key to success.

2. Deadlifts are another killer exercise to help you gain muscle and strength. Deadlifts help strengthen your back, hips and hamstrings better than any other exercise.

3. Cleans are an olympic lift that is effective at developing your traps, shoulders, back, hips and legs. If you want an athletic, strong look, cleans should be at the top of your list.

4. Dips are one of the most effective movements to pack on muscle for your chest, shoulders and triceps. Gymnasts and bodybuilders have used this simple movement to develop massive upper bodies. Simple and effective.

5. Chin ups are the final exercise on my list. These simple movements are amazing at developing strong backs and biceps. You can do them anywhere and they are used by everyone that is trying to get strong and muscular. A foundational exercise for everyone to use.

So, if you are looking to transform your body, keep it simple, work hard and you will be happy with the results that you experince. Your body will have no choice but to grow and adapt to the exercises you have performed
