1. DeadliftIn my professional opinion, the overall best exercise to build mass has to be the deadlift. Heck, deadlifting is actually my overall favorite exercise to do. If I had to choose one exercise to do for the rest of my life it would be 100% deadlifting. Deadlifting is an excellent full-body exercise that makes your body work from head to toe. It trains your traps, back, lower back, quads, hips, glutes, hams, forearms and even your grip. It's the first thing that comes to mind whenever I think of building quality muscle and gaining mass. Also, it's a movement that can be done using some serious weight. Which puts even more pressure on your body making it grow. There are many variations of deadlifts. Such as the Romanian deadlift, straight leg deadlift, sumo deadlift, rack deadlift, and many more. All of them are excellent at growing mass but if you had to choose one go for the classic version. Especially if you are new to the movement. Especially if you are new to the movement. You should first get acquainted with the exercise using lower weights and then move on. Because deadlifting is a rather complex movement done with large weight so because of that the risk for injury is slightly higher. 2. SquatSquatting is a close second in this list. I can say as a fact that it is near impossible to get big leg muscles without squatting! Squats are amazing muscle builders and mass gainers. At first, you might think squatting is just a leg exercise but that cant be further from the truth. Really while you squat you work your entire body. All of your muscles are working and working hard trying to stabilize your body and lift that weight. Squatting is another exercise that can be done with insane weights. The world record for squatting is a whopping 525 kg, that's 1157 pounds. Now (I'm not saying that you need to be squatting a half a ton in order to grow mass) Nowadays bodybuilders usually squat with a narrower stance in order to focus on their legs. But when you are squatting for mass you should opt for a bit of a wider stance, that will allow you to use more weight (more safely) thus making your overall body work harder. 3. Bench PressAt number three we have the bench press. Bench Press is probably one of the most well known and people favorite exercises of all time. It is something that everybody uses from your once a month gym-goer to professional athletes. Its something you just can't get by without. Also, it is an excellent mass builder, its the number one movement for your pecs. You can't find a better exercise for your chest. In order to take the maximum from the bench press, it should be done right. Weight isn't everything. You shouldn't arch your back or pounce the weight off your chest in order to lift more weight. Instead, use controlled movements and a little bit of a wider grip to maximize the gains. Those are my top 3 pics for exercises to build muscle mass. Hope you found it helpful and interesting!
