Weight Training Equipment Today

A Tribute To Arnold Schwarzenegger

In this post at Weight Training Equipment today , we are going to go through some of the weight training equipment exercises that make up most weight training programs and routines. This post is for beginners but can also be used for intermediates to follow up on, and remind them of the technique and form to continue to focus upon. Some certain aspects mentioned in each video may not conform to HIT standards as far as resistance, reps, duration and frequency. These videos are for HVT (High Volume Training) but can be used for the High Intensity Training seeker to grasp technique and form alone.  Despite the instruction in these videos conforming to light – moderate weight and high reps, we must remember that with High Intensity Training our goal is to increase resistance and strength, and as we become stronger we reduce the duration and frequency but are always striving to increase resistance to increase  itensity, and as strength increases, to maintain 8-12 reps to complete momentary muscular failure will require an increased amount of resistance. With Hit our goal is to increase each exercise with 2%-5% of resistance each workout.

Note: when using weight training equipment with HIT and HVT routines it is advisable to include legs at the beginning of your exercise routine . Working the largest muscles first when you are best motivated and promoting good muscle growth in the legs will add significant muscle growth in the smaller body parts.

Weight Training Equipment Today Reviews Bicep Exercises

Note: when using the ez curl bar as a part of your weight training equipment for bicep muscle growth, it is important to remember that your workout is not as good as using a bar that gives a fully supinated palms up grip such as a straight barbell. An easy curl bar is the type of weight training equipment that moves your hands away from supination and towards pronation. The easy curl bar does not fully pronate your hands, but it goes too far to allow the bicep to function at its best for muscle growth. This is not to say that the easy curl bar should be excluded from the weight training equipment implemented in your program.

Weight Training Equipment Today Reviews Tricep Exercises

Note: To determine tricep potential for mass muscle growth when using weight training equipment. Straighten your elbow and arm along your side and contract your tricep. With your tricep contracted you should notice an apparent horshoe shape , if your arms are in a lean state it will be more noticable. Have someone measure the distance from the tip of your elbow to the inside of the horseshoe shape. If the distance is 3″ or less your tricep length is long and you have a great potential for mass muscle growth. 3″-4″ is above average, 4″-6″ is average, 6″-7″ is below average, and 7″ or more is a short tricep with very minimal potential mass muscle growth when using weight training equipment.

TRICEP ROPE EXTENTION

Weight Training Equipment Today Reviews Shoulders Exercises

Note: When developed properly the middle deltoid adds extreme width to your shoulders. To target the middle deltoid for muscle growthwhen using weight training equipment you must move your upper arms not only to the sides but to the back at the same time as well. Most guys do move their arms to the side but also get into the habit of raising their weight training equipment and upper arms slightly to the front and are targetting the front deltoid as much as the middle , when you want to target the middle detoid the most. By leaning forward slightly from your waist,  your upper arms will angle slightly behind your torso as you raise them laterally. This will accomplish more focus on the middle deltoid and better muscle growth and significant width in the shoulders.

Note: For a thicker more massive chest focus on feeling the resistance at every point in the full range of the movement of the weight training equipment and  exercise being accomplished. Do this for every repetition. To add muscle growth to your pectorals when using your weight training equipment, you must force your body to handle more and more resistance on all your chest exercise as well as every other exercise in your routine. Do each exercise in good form and to momentary muscular failure

Weight Training Equipment Reviews Abdominal Exercises

Note: Even when using weight training equipment to enhance muscle growth trying to develop your so wanted six pack abs, it has been proven that targeting abs and spot reduction of fat around the waist, is not possible with high rep sit-ups, side bends , crunches or leg raises or any type of weight training equipment and exercise. The ever sought after six pack is a genetic trait and usually rare. If you are reasonably lean , pinch a double layer of skin and fat in the midsection and take notice of the thickness. Now pinch  in the same manner the back of your hand. If the two noticed thickness of the mid- section and the back of your hand are equally thick in the 1/8 ” area  then you may very well carry the genetics for an excellent six-pack when developed with weight training equipment or ab exercises for muscle growth.
