Which exercises that makes you have a bigger upper chest?
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I’m 15. I do Incline bench presses, Flat Bench presses, Tricep Pushdowns, Wide grip pulldowns everytime i go the gym. I do about 50 reps for each exercise. The result is, my arms get bigger but my chests just get a lil bigger. So, how to have a bigger chest? What exercises can makes it happen?
50 reps per exercise? thats the problem..
8-10 reps is for building size
12-14 reps is for power and endurance
Your doing the right exercises.. just work on the the reps.
The last 3 pumps on the 8-10 set should be very difficult. If not.. increase the weight. Try to do 3 sets of 8 for example for size. Everyone has their own way of doing things.. but this is a good overall consensus.

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010I enjoy working out, and I know that aerobics burns fat which will may cause your breasts to get slightly smaller, but what about the machines that target your chest area? How do they affect breasts? Should I do them (I want to be fit with as little reduction in my breast size as possible)
It is possible that you will lose some breast mass. You’ll gain muscle and muscle burns fat. No matter what exercise you will lose weight in your chest area.

Sciatica Exercises – the Good and the Bad
Monday, January 25th, 2010
Sciatica exercises are an important part of both short and long-term treatment, but it is critical to choose the right exercises. Even commonly-recommended exercises for sciatica may not be indicated during times of severe acute symptoms, and some exercises may only make things worse.
For example, while commonly recommended to people with sciatica, exercises such as hamstring stretches and the yoga position, “downward facing dog” can be beneficial as part of managing one’s condition once the pain is reduced, these exercises can place tension on the sciatic nerve and aggravate an already inflamed and sensitive condition. In general, any exercise that causes pain to increase in the leg and/or extend further down the leg should be completely avoided during the acute phase of sciatica.
During the acute phase of sciatica pain, McKenzie exercises provide one of the best and safest treatment approaches available – more effective than medication and epidural steroid injections in many people. Though often associated with spinal extension and mistakenly called the “McKenzie Extension Exercises”, McKenzie method may involve any number of spinal positions/movements. The whole point of the McKenzie method is to evaluate different positions/exercises to find what best produces “centralization” of symptoms.
McKenzie practitioners use the word “centralization” when the pain and other symptoms are relieved in the areas the greates distance away from the spine. To give an example, in a person with sciatica all the way down the leg to the foot, centralization might occur in which the pain left the foot and lower leg and then only extended down to the knee. Or, if sciatica symptoms started out going as far as the knee, centralization would be if the symptoms left the thigh and only went as far as the hip area.
A position or exercise that results in symptom centralization is one that will be beneficial, even in situations where symptoms increase for a time in areas closer to the spine. For example, if you had sciatica and low back pain and tried one of of the McKenzie exercises and the sciatica completely went away but the back pain got worse, the exercise would still be considered beneficial and it would be recommended to continue using it. In the long run, a sciatica exercise that produces centralization will usually eventually result in improvement in all symptoms, even if more central (closer to the spine) symptoms get worse at first.
The simplest of the McKenzie exercises for alleviating sciatica is done by simply lying on one’s stomach on the floor or a firm surface and propping one’s chest up on the elbows. This places the lower spine in a gentle extension, which can help relieve sciatica by pushing bulging spinal discs forward, and away from the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve, reducing pressure and irritation. Although you can maintain this position for relatively long periods of time, I recommend doing it for short periods of one or two minutes with a rest break of at least a few minutes in between. The frequent breaks prevent the low back muscles from tightening up as much, and yet still allows for good overall results. For more complex sciatica exercises, getting detailed instructions either through an illustrated guide or an experienced health care practitioner is advised.

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.
