Some of the most modern
and historically challenging
exercises have been the subject
of countless issues of popular body building
magazines.
As the advent of machines grew to fill the demand for weight
training effectiveness
increased, also the demand for knowledge of physiology,
ergonomics and muscular
dynamics. There was a period of great technical
contention for machine versus
free weight or semi-controlled weight training.
By knowing the
fundamentals you can observe in the future
and make estimations and
adjustments that are correctly aligned with the
principles of muscle building, physique
creation and health and fitness.
To continue my openness
for your better training results I
would lend you my second
set of basics tips for success:
1. Whole body exercises
predominately performed with free
weights are the most
intensive and efficient way to build muscle over the
uniform of the body.
It is to be done as the base then further building of
individual muscles is much easier
and productive because they are well
supported and have been worked already in their
extended areas.
2. The fundamental
exercises are Squat, Dead-Lift, Snatch,
Pull-Overs,
and
Lateral
Rows.
I don’t
qualify bench press into these absolute basic
exercise because it is not really
a fully body exercise.
It is however very
popular with the ladies hence it is already well covered.
3. The second
fundamental exercises are Bench Press,
Chin-ups or
Pull-Downs, Curls.
Bench pressing dumbbells is better than a bar, but technically more difficult.
Some crunches or sit-ups
can be done, but I would have these
as part of your short
warm up or cool down because the entire rib cage is already
worked with
well done Pull-Overs.
4. Stretching all the
predominant muscles before you start
hitting heavy intensity
based workouts is a MUST, using a wooden pole can help
balance, but remember to
stretch your calves, hamstrings, quads, torso, arms,
shoulders and
neck lightly but appropriately.
Good Training!
