Branch Warren, a retired IFBB professional bodybuilder, is one of the biggest names in the world of bodybuilding. He's an award-winning athlete who has won several professional competitions and also earned respect among his fellow bodybuilders and fans.

Although he retired in 2015 and now works as the owner and founder of a beef jerky company named “Wicked Cutz Jerky”, his shredded and muscular physique remain a constant. Even at 47, Warren entertains no shortcuts in his workout routine.

If you dream of achieving a body like this Texas-born bodybuilder, here are seven bodybuilding exercises worth trying:

If you're after serious back muscles like Warren, you should incorporate T-bar rows into your workout routine.

T-bar row is one of the most productive bodybuilding exercises that's accessible to both advanced exercisers and beginners. This exercise allows you to train your back with high repetitions and a supported position to ensure safe and correct form.

If you want to increase your chest strength, don't neglect an incline bench press. This exercise targets your chest muscles and works them really hard. Just like a flat bench press, an incline bench press also involves your shoulders and triceps.

The preacher hammer curl is one of the best bodybuilding exercises that can help develop bigger and stronger biceps. Performing this exercise on a preacher set offers a fixed range of motion, which allows for a more focused and greater contraction of the biceps.

A stiff leg deadlift works on your hamstring muscles and involves flexing the knees. Along with hamstrings, this exercise also enhances the involvement of your glutes.

If one of your fitness goals is to develop muscular quads like Branch Warren's, look no further than hack squats. These squats are some of the most amazing bodybuilding exercises that work on your quads, calves and hamstrings. They're much safer and more accessible than barbell squats.

Weighted chest dips are a variation of the standard chest dip exercise. It's one of the most effective bodybuilding exercises to target your chest, triceps, arms and shoulders.
