It is considered to be one of the best proofs of real all around strength and works more muscle groups at the same time then any exercise even squats. Just thought i would add :). Just so everyone knows though everything on the list is extremely important to building mass and strength so good training to all of you.

Just make sure that you break them up into different days for each body part that you will be working out. Also, try and force your muscles to adapt to heavier weights for each set every week. Get at least three sets of four quality repetitions per exercise. Six would be best but at least four. Forget all that high reps, low weights rubbish! If you want strength and muscle tone then this method can't be beaten! Compound exercises are truly the best for mass gain.

Lets keep things simple... anyone for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation?

I never disputed his original correction of the article - yes the "Pullups" section DOES describe Upright Rows. I only disputed what he said after that, which was "Pullups are pronated grip chins". Honestly, where did you learn to read. I couldn't have been more clear about the point I was making. Sometimes I despair of the level of stupidity around these days, especially from people so sure of themselves. Tom go back and read what I said.

Also putting a block on your heels when you squat only adds pressure to your knees and back which will leave you more vulnerable to injury.

The ONLY difference between the two is the grip so the logic behind that comment is kinda pointless. That's like saying houses are bungalows but with an extra floor.

Shouldn't Deadlifts be on this list as well? Personally I think they're the number 2 mass builder after squats.
