13 Finisher Exercises to Build Muscle in Every Body Part

While both sexes participate in the sport of bodybuilding, it’s the men that tend to spend the majority of their workouts focused primarily on the upper body, at the expense of their lower. The all-too-common end result? Big arms, big chest — little legs. Bodybuilding, however, is not simply about size but also symmetry. This means you want to create balance across your entire body, with no single muscle or muscle groups being too pronounced. Another thing to remember is that the bigger your upper body is, the smaller your lower body will look.

So, when it comes to bodybuilding, you need to pay attention to your entire body, not just your favorite muscle groups. You need to focus on all your muscle groups of both your upper and lower body to create a balanced, sculpted physique.
