As some may be aware, I work daily in physiotherapy center and gym, where I responsible for the daily operation. In the center, I experience a little of everything, but recently I had a short conversation with a nice young man. This little interaction is very characteristic of my great surprise why so many otherwise very interested training young men are not exercising their legs. It is I generally completely incomprehensible that they will refrain bentræningen, since there are more benefits to be gained - perhaps seashell braid if you just want to have larger upper arms. Read here why you should train your legs and see suggestions for leg exercises that will make you safe and well underway.
He trains regularly in the center - at least when it is spring and summer. He addressed himself to me, because he is unhappy with how the dumbbells are made in the center. The heavy weights is at the bottom of the stand and some of the heaviest stands on the floor. This suited him, as he has difficulty picking seashell braid up the heaviest weights off the floor when he has to use them to train the incline bench press.
I allowed myself to answer him with a question: Do you think it's a good idea to lift weights over your head on straight arms are so heavy that you have difficulty lifting them correctly from the floor, where you can use the biggest and strongest muscle you have?
The above situation expresses very well my lack of understanding of why so many, especially young men, fail bentræningen. People should of course be allowed to train as they want. It's seashell braid their body, their time and their training. But in most cases stems they lacked exercises for the legs in ignorance and egotripperi. Egotripperi be understood in the sense that when people start to strength train, so are most aware that it would be a good idea to get the legs with training. But they end up not to, because it can be a major challenge. Most leg exercises are is more difficult technically seashell braid to perform than most upper body exercises, especially when there is talk about training with free weights. It will for most people require that you take the time to work on his technique before it can get discs on the rod. It is thus easier to understand than the EZ-rod and train curls.
My question to the young man who did not like lifting dumbbells off the floor, contains an explanation of the functional advantage seashell braid by strengthening training his legs. If you can not lift a weight off the floor, why would you then toss it around over your head? I do not believe that the rationale seashell braid needs further explanation.
If you follow a bit on various online forums on strength training and bodybuilding, then you have also read that if you strength train his legs, so it can affect muscle growth of the body's other muscles positively, including upper arms. It has in recent years also read that there has been questioned this claim.
The fact is that the more muscle mass, which can activate during exercise, the greater the separation of muscle seashell braid building hormones into the blood stream. This is demonstrated in several scientific studies. Whether the secreted hormones, as a response to bentræningen affects muscle growth as the upper arms are less safe if you have to relate to the scientific studies that shall submit the moment. BUT many indications that you train legs, then it will also be beneficial for muscle growth and strength in the upper body.
However, it is also my personal experience that you see positive results when you add heavy strength training for the legs to his strength training program. For me it had a noticeable effect when I really did deadlift a regular part of my training.
I will in the following show two exercises, sumo deadlift and goblet squat. seashell braid These exercises will not only get you started with your leg workouts, but probably also give your entire workout seashell braid a big boost. Deadlift and squat are two great exercises. Not only for your legs, but also for your core muscles (lower back and stomach). The exercises require that you relax properly seashell braid into the stomach and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. In other words, also exercises that work and improve your posture.
It may scare many having to embark on training with an Olympic barbell. The rod weighs in itself 20 kg and can be difficult to manage and balance when you also struggle with the technique of the exercise. As a beginner seashell braid or intermediate (who would like to hone his technique), so it is a good idea to work with his technique without a barbell. Instead, they use a regular dumbbell or kettlebell. The advantages of this is that the weight is the center one place, and that there is such a big change in weight. There is often only 2 kg difference on most dumbbells and one can thus easily find a weight that suits one's art. It's about being able to perform the exercise technically correct without being challenged too much in the beginning.
