My Resistance Training

Decent Essays
Monday thru Thursday- Run with the Wellness class.

My resistance training is as follows: {Chest day} is 4 sets of 4 different movements. I pyramid up in weight during each exercise, making sure my 4th and final set is to failure and no more than 6-8 reps.
{Back day} Same Philosophy. If I’m feeling froggy, I’ll throw in deadlifts and I will probably go up to as many as 6 to 8 sets.
{Shoulders, Traps., and Neck day} 4 different movements for shoulders. All to failure on the final set. Traps get only 8 total sets. For neck I hang my head off a flat bench and put a 45lb plate on my forehead. I then raise my head up and down while looking like a moron. 3 sets of around 20 reps.
{Arm day} 3 different movements for biceps, and 3 for triceps.

    Strong Shoulders are Balanced Shoulders As mentioned earlier, I shared some exercise and tips with Bodybuilding.com readers, but this shoulder routine came out because it was very traditional. You will notice that it starts with a single action, dumbbells ascend and make a contribution to the high representative. I use this exercise as a warm-up, but it also serves as a "pre-exhaust", before I make a heavier head press before tired of the middle gap. This exercise emphasizes the defender, not too much attention to the front of the defects.…

    Is it important to understand the structure of our muscles? And if so how could this improve the results of our muscle exercise routine? One wise thing to do when deciding the muscles exercise technique we are going to adopt is to find out the type of structure a muscle is made of, muscles as we know are formed by either a slow-contract structure or a fast-contract structure, for example a muscle made of high level of slow-contracts structure reacts more favorably to high repetitions, so high level of slow-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 15 or over repetitions to allow the muscle to be enough time under pressure. Fast-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 6 to 12 repetitions.…

    Parallel Bar Reflection

    • 1315 Words
    • 6 Pages

    "This is the first week of starting my training program in the gym and practising the walk on the parallel bars. On my first attempt at the walk on the parallel bars I was able to make the whole length of the bar, but I found that my legs were wobbling too much and my elbows were collapsing to often. This meant that I needed to focus on my core exercises to lessen the wobbling of of my legs and I also needed to focus on my upper body strength to keep my elbows firm and locked, for the full length of the bar. I feel quite happy with my start and progress, I had no injuries because of the warm up at the start of each lesson. My recovery stretches really helped as my core in particular was quite sore after doing some extra planks.…

    My Basketball Journey

    I started my journey in health and fitness at a young age. I was always one of those kids who just could not sit still - so I was into everything, climbing trees, riding bikes, swimming, sports, you name it I was into it. However my discipline to this way of life came when I discovered basketball, it was when I was about 13/14 and shot up to practically the height I am now, so my teachers said why don't you try and develop your skills as a basketball player as I was taller than most of my teachers at 13 which lead them to think I'd grow to be some kind of 7 foot giant, but unfortunately that didn't happen, would've been cool though.…
