Techniques For Effective Training

By Marc Jones


Have you ever taken a look round your gym to see what the people around you do?

Do you wonder if the workout they do will help you accomplish your own physical goals faster?

Those are a number of inquiries to ponder as you continue to read this, but the fact of the situation is there is always a 'better ' lift to do than the majority of the lifts that you see people performing at your gym.

For instance, today a pair in my private gymnasium took it on themselves to do a selection of exercises working their body from head to toe, or that's what they thought.

Their workout commenced with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if large enough, might make you appear like you've got no neck.

On the surface of things that would seem to be a handy 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 the same as the force times the distance that you are moving that force and the amount of times that you're moving that force. As an example, if you were going to use 30-pound dumbbells you might move that weight a total of three inches maximum. The trapezius muscles are not that massive therefore do not have the range that the bigger muscles do.

So that 30-pound weight moved three inches, ten times, gives us a considerable number of nine hundred. The unit of measure at about that point is unimportant.

Now lets look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercise is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your chin all of the way above your head until your arms about fully extended.

For this exercise we only used the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you might notice that the distance that bar is going to travel is around 24 inches or more depending on your size, which was done for a sum total of ten 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 army press was 12 times better than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.

This is just one example of a way to see if you're getting the best from your workout . Many of us are unconcerned to some of the exercises that they opt to do and just do anything that is evoked. You only have so much energy when you hit the gymnasium floor, make it count and put it towards exercises that may give you the bang for you buck.
