by admin in Workouts 0 comments
No more wondering what to do in the gym. Planning your workouts for the week or month can be overwhelming. You could do a lower-body or upper-body strength, full-body HIIT, a low impact class, yoga, and many more, so where do you even begin? Luckily, there’s an easy solution to eliminate the guesswork and help crush your goals: workout splits. As the name suggests, workout splits divide your workout sessions for the week. Exercises can be by body part, body region, or movement type, says Rebecca Stewart, CPT, a certified personal trainer, mobility coach, and pain-free performance specialist. “Workout splits are a way of organizing your workouts that’s most effective for your goals and lifestyle,” she explains. For example, someone focused on strength gains can plan their workouts around the big three lifts like squats, bench press, and deadlifts, while someone focused more on aesthetics, such as bodybuilders, can split their workouts by body part, she adds. That’s only the beginning. Workout splits are great if you want to progress specific lifts, body parts, or regions more intensely than you’d be able to with full-body training, explains Stewart. What’s more, divvying up your workouts into splits can also help prevent […]

However, your activity after a workout is just as important, whether you wish to see increased muscle mass or weight loss.

How to Master the Dumbbell Chest Fly

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Get those chest gains without getting yourself hurt or smashing up your dumbbells. Chest training is so important to a certain type of gym bro that they’ll dedicate every single Monday to the endeavor, posting up at bench press stations around the nation to pump through round after round of reps to build a barrel shape at the top of their torso. For far too many of these trainees, however, their International Chest Day exploits start and end with that bench press session. They might be focused on the number of plates on the bar, but unless they have a powerlifting competition in their sights, they should be even more fixated on the muscle contraction at the top of the lift. That’s where they’ll have the most success in building their chest muscles, and there are other exercises, like the bench dumbbell fly, that will be much more effective for targeted growth. The goal of the dumbbell fly is to move in a slightly different way that you do during other chest-focused exercises like presses. When you perform a fly, you adduct the chest muscle, which means squeezing the pecs to move your arms inward toward the midline of your […]

Here’s How and Why Powerlifters Need to Work on Unilateral Strength

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Get stronger one limb at a time with these heavyweight hacks.   No one talks about their one rep max for a dumbbell bench press and row. And why would they? Because boosting unilateral strength numbers is unheard of. If you ask a lifter how much they squat, bench, and deadlift, those numbers roll off the tongue. Ask them how long they have been married and their partner’s birthday; they might be stumbling around. But the big 3 numbers are always at the forefront of the mind. Unfortunately, some lifters who fall in love with the big 3 tend to neglect unilateral training for a variety of reasons—because it’s more challenging to lift equally as heavy, it’s not the barbell, and it may not be as fantastic and awe-inspiring as a big squat, bench, or deadlift. But that line of thinking is a mistake because you can never get enough strength, whether unilateral or bilateral. Here, we’ll go into why every powerlifter needs unilateral strength and some big bang-for-your-buck unilateral exercises to improve the performance of your squat, deadlift, and bench. Chris ‘Heavy Metal’ Kershaw, a powerlifting coach extraordinaire from England, shares his expert opinion.   Qualities That Are Needed […]
