Bodybuilding Exercise: incline fly variant for chest

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Video clip showing proper form of the incline dumbbell fly exercise for pecs. Fly type exercises have done far more for my pec development than the pushing type exercises. In doing flys, make sure that your arms do NOT go behind the plane of your body as this puts too much stress on the shoulder joint. Normally with flys, the arms are kept perpendicular to the body but in this variant I pretend I am doing cables from the lower pulley so I start with my hands pointing down to the ground and finish with them over the top of my head. This exercise is tough so use light weights and make sure to use slow, controlled form.

As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don’t use too much weight, if you can’t do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter. Count aloud “one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand” on the way up and the way down, if you cant do this on this exercise then you are using too much weight. The reason this exercise method maximizes your muscle growth is because it confines the motion to the muscle you are trying to work out, if your body squirms, swings, and kicks, all you are doing is taking the focus away from the muscle you are trying to exercise.

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

Home chest workout: dumbbell fly exercise

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Video clip showing proper form of the dumbbell fly exercise for pecs. Most people focus on bench press for chest but I have found that for me the fly movements have provided the most muscle growth. This is a great home exercise! Here I am doing it on a bench but I actually prefer to do it flat on the floor to limit my range of motion and protect the shoulders. Using a bench you should have a spotter but on the floor you can easily work out alone.

As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don’t use too much weight, if you can’t do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter.

Push Ups – Any Time Anywhere Chest Exercise – Pecs workout

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

http://AskTheTrainer.com

Push ups are the classic resistance training exercise with your own body weight. You know that.

The biggest mistake people make while performing pushups is to not start with their chest on the floor.

If you start with your chest on the floor you will develop the proper range of motion.

If you don’t lower yourself all the way to the floor at first, it will be very difficult for your to develop functional strength.

Keys:

1. Keep spine in neutral alignment, this includes your head.

2. Keep Core Tight, same as spine in neutral alignment but focus on drawing in your belly button.

3. Lower your chest all the way to the floor.

4. Keep your shoulder blades retracted.

5. Do not lock out and snap your arms at the top.

If your goal is to build your chest, you can do many more effective exercises for the pecs.

If your goal is to build functional strength, you must master the push-up through full range of motion before you can expect to reach your full potential.

Always perform weight training exercises within your envelope of function.

If it hurts, Don’t Do it.

If you have protracted shoulder girdle, push-ups are not a good exercise to do, especially if you do them wrong.

Chest Workout: Squeezers

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

http://scoobysworkshop.com
This is part four of my advanced pushup series. I will be doing 5 different types of advanced pushups and then I will combine them into one heck-of-a-chest workout.

This is a ’squeezer’. It combines an isometric fly and a pushup.

This is NOT a beginners exercise, it is for advanced bodybuilders only. If you have not been lifting for at least 6 months, dont even consider doing this because you will most likely get injured.

There are several other unique exercises in my advanced pushup series that I will be putting up individually also. Thanks for your patience, the advanced pushup video IS coming but it takes a long time to edit.
