Hey, what’s up guys? I’m Kyla and this Faith. In this video we be showing you the safe and proper way to perform the five basic lifts, the push press, the back and front squat, the bench press, and finally, the deadlift. However, before we begin it is important to stretch out and warm up your muscles to make sure you don’t get hurt. Now that we are warmed up we can begin to set up for the lifts. Today we will be using the standard bar which weighs 45 pounds. Once you’ve got the bar in the proper position, on a rack or on the ground, depends on which lift you’re doing, you can start putting on weight. However, when you’re just starting out it is best to leave the bar as it is so that you can perfect your form.
The first lift we will be doing is the push press. For this lift you’ll need a rack to set the bar on. Make sure that the bar is about the height of your shoulders so that you can keep your balance when racking and uncracking the bar. The first step of the push press is to establish your grip. For the push press place your hands on the rough knurling a full thumbs length away from the smooth center.

You have just successfully completed the five basic lifts. Now you can get the Hulk muscles you always wanted. However, keep in mind that everything takes practice and it will take a while to get as amazing muscles as Faith and I. Make sure that when you’re weightlifting you don’t try and lift more than you can handle. While pushing yourself is important, it is also important to keep yourself safe. So make sure and pace yourself. Also make sure to put away any equipment you got out back where you found it. Also if you see any unattended equipment lying around, be sure to put that away as well because Christmas is coming and you need all the Nice List points you can get. Above all, make sure to stay safe and have fun. Happy Weightlifting!

    The most important teaching point in the rack phrase is the elbows (Rippetoe and Kilgore, 2007). When the rack phrase is completed the elbows should be very high and pointed straight forward this allows for the pressure to be taken off the wrist which is critical to preventing injury. A good coaching point is the humerus bone in your arm is parallel or nearly parallel to the ground. As stated earlier the proper use of this phrase will prevent injury to the wrist. So when completing this phrase we want to rest the bar on the meaty part of the front deltoid of the muscle (Rippetoe and Kilgore, 2007).…

    To start, it is a very simple lift to learn. This means that there is a quick learning curve where you will be able to spend only a few sessions working on form. this will allow you to rack up the weight quickly and in turn allows you to push yourself. Learning a traditional deadlift form would take much longer to learn and safely perform. This is a nice transition into my next point, safety of the lift.…

    This weight seems a little bit too heavy, I pull the bar up and let go, then slowly crouch down and adjust the pin about twenty pounds lighter. I grasp the bar with a wide grip, my palms facing away from me and pull the bar down to my chest with one fluid motion. One rep is done, I can feel my muscles begin to tense up but it is not a really difficult weight so I pull it down again, again and again.…

    First set of 10 reps is 135 pounds on the bar, followed by 25 push ups. Because I am stronger than Bobby, I finish my sets first then he does his, instead of moving the weights back and forth. After 4 sets of 10, increasing the weight each time, I am unable to do even 5 push ups. Now it is Bobby's turn to transform his muscles into quivering pieces of failing machinery. We move onto our arms, performing alternating sets of tricep and bicep movements called 'Super Sets'.…

    There are several variations of the bench press exercises to include the wide-grip bench press, close-grip bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, dumbbell chest press, reverse-grip bench press or machine-based. The prime movers in the bench press are the pectoralis major, triceps brachii, and the anterior deltoid, with the medial deltoid and rectus abdominis acting as a stabilizer muscle (Kellis et al., 1998). Common Injuries Although bench press exercises are the blueprint of upper-body strength and power gains, injuries are common, not just with competitive weightlifters like bodybuilders and powerlifters, also regular recreational lifters. First, lifters with shoulder or pectoral problems should avoid performing bench press exercises until properly rehabilitated and/or receives clearance from a medical professional.…
