Simple Tips To Lifting Better
by Tyron Thompson
Have you ever taken a look around your gym to see what the people around you do?
Do you ponder whether the workout they do will help you reach your own physical goals faster?
Those are a couple of inquiries to ponder as you continue to read this, but the fact of the matter is there is a 'better ' lift to do than the majority of the lifts that you see folks performing at your gymnasium.
For instance, today a couple in my gym took it on themselves to do a selection of exercises working their body from head to toe, or that is what they thought.
Their workout started with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if massive enough, might make you appear as if you haven't got any neck.
On the surface of things that would seem to be a healthy exercise to do, but if you dig slightly deeper you'll find that exercise does little in the way of helping you burn even the most minute of calories.
Let us look at it mathematically. The quantity of work done is equal to the force times the distance you're moving that force and the quantity of times you are moving that force. For instance, if one was to use 30-pound dumbbells you could move that weight a total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that large thus do not have the range that the larger muscle groupings do.
So that 30-pound weight moved 3 inches, 10 times, gives us a considerable number of 900. The unit of measure at this point is unimportant.
Now lets take a look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercising is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your chin all the way above your head until your arms about completely extended.
For this exercise we only utilised the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you may notice the distance that bar is going to go is around 24 inches or more depending on your size, which was done for a total of 10 repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us a number of 10,800- again the unit of measure is unimportant. It only becomes applicable if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the military press was 12 times better than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is one example of a method to see if you're getting the best from your workout . Many individuals are insensible to some of the exercises that they choose to do and just do anything that suggests itself. You only have so much energy when you hit the gymnasium floor, make it count and put it towards exercises which will give you the bang for you buck.
