Distinguish muscular capacity, movement coordination and bracing before choosing accessory work. Assess the limitation, then retest the lift.
Why I use the supported single-arm dumbbell press for unilateral strength, shoulder flexion, scapular movement and an individual pressing path.
In most gyms, nearly every flat bench is occupied, weights rattle against racks, and lifters keep an eye on each other’s performance. The bench press
In training, the strength curve is the exact profile of force that can be produced across the range of motion of an exercise. Every lift has points where leverage is poor and force demands are high, and points where leverage improves and muscular tension decreases.
Coaches who ignore the strength curve prescribe exercises that load athletes ineffectively—either underloading prime ranges, or overloading positions that create undue fatigue with little transfer. What’s more, poor programming of various strength curves result in undesirable changes, which can promote reduced joint integrity and hamper strength production.
Maximize Training Gains With Ideal Rep Ranges In the quest to maximize training gains, the strategic implementation of ideal rep ranges emerges as a pivotal
Traditionally, repetition ranges of 6-15 have been suggested for hypertrophy. Learn how to manipulate rep ranges to maximize results.
Tempo In strength training, one of the most overlooked factors is the tempo, or speed of each rep. Whilst the number of sets and reps
Do you write out a training program, follow it for three or four weeks, then decide it’s time for a change, only to rack your
