Some time ago I was planning on shooting an exercise DVD showcasing all of these lesser known but highly effective bodybuilding exercises. These lifts are an eclectic mix of conventional and esoteric bodybuilding and strength exercises. The videos that I have on my YouTube channel show a tiny cross section of these esoteric moves.
But I've been quite busy with family and work. So in the meantime, instead of an exercise DVD, I'll offer the next best thing: a compilation of the 68 best bodybuilding exercises for symmetry and/or strength. Most exercises work muscle, but not every exercise truly builds muscle.
If you want to build muscle and build muscle in the right places, then this is a must have list. It is a simple list of exercises with links to various videos on the Web. Nothing more. Some of these exercises you know, but many of them are lesser known gems that will give you the muscular V-taper physique you want.

I am offering this list as a complimentary PDF with each purchase of Strength and Physique, Volume One from Lulu.com. This offer is not available through Amazon or with Volumes 2-4. This free PDF comes with a purchase of either the paperback or Ebook.
